  • Patent number: 11966944
    Abstract: A system and method for processing promotions in connection with digital purchasing. Data associated with a digital purchase request made by a consumer (the data comprising a token, an amount associated with the transaction, a promotional code for each item included in the digital purchase request associated with a promotion, a default transaction amount, and a single default promotional code) is received from a merchant server. The single default promotional code is assigned to all items included in the digital purchase request that are associated with promotions. Using the token, account information associated with the consumer is retrieved from a database. For each promotional code received, promotional information is retrieved. The retrieved promotional information is displayed. The digital purchase request is submitted for processing using the single default promotional code.

  • Publication number: 20240091422
    Abstract: A renal therapy system is disclosed. In an example, the renal therapy system includes a home renal therapy machine that stores, to a log file, dates of when renal therapies were performed and a type of each renal therapy that was performed. The system also includes a server that receives the log file from the home renal therapy machine. The server compares the dates and types of performed renal therapies stored in the log file to a device program that specifies dates for performing renal therapies and the types of renal therapies to be performed. The server displays a flag in a user interface of a clinician computer when there is a deviation from the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11598488
    Abstract: The present invention provides a leak-proof fluid dispensing system with a pressure sensor and an adjustable dispensing regulator, comprising: a gas cylinder and a pressure dispensing control valve. The dispensing control valve is formed outside the bottle body opening and has an internal channel that communicates with an inlet port, an outlet port, a bottle port, and the joint portion. The internal of the dispensing body includes an inlet valve, an outlet valve, a pressure dispensing regulator, a filter, and a pressure sensor. The pressure at the outlet end of pressure dispensing regulator is lower than or equal to a preset opening pressure value, the fluid is allowed to flow out. With the implementation of the present invention, it may prevent accidental leakage of fluid in the gas cylinder and dynamically monitor the flow gas capacity in the gas cylinder.

  • Patent number: 10742612
    Abstract: In a network that includes a client, a server and one or more proxy entities that intercept network traffic between the client and the server, a computer-implemented method is provided including: establishing trust with a permissioned distributed database; computing hashes from packet payloads of network traffic originated, intercepted or received; storing the hashes to the permissioned distributed database so that the permissioned distributed database maintains hashes computed from packets of the network traffic originated, intercepted or received by the client, server and the one or more proxy entities; and validating the hashes by comparing, with each other, the hashes stored to the permissioned distributed database by the client, server and the one or more proxy entities to determine whether any packet payload of the network traffic was modified in transit.

  • Patent number: 6826858
    Abstract: A photo display device has a mounting bracket containing a rear flat surface to which are permanently attached magnets of suitable strength to allow the device to be magnetically affixed to a smooth metal surface such as the vertical wall or door of a refrigerator. Pivotally attached to the mounting bracket are multiple transparent sleeves each adapted to receive back-to-back photographs, cards, etc. The mounting bracket is such that the user can display and view all of the images merely by pivoting the transparent sleeves.
