Abstract: An exemplary system includes a publisher subsystem configured to communicate with an access device and an advertiser device over a data communication network. The publisher subsystem includes a publish module, a session module, and an allocation module. The publish module is configured to publish content over the data communication network, the content including an advertisement. The session module is configured to detect a selection of the advertisement, initiate a session between the access device and the advertiser device in response to the selection, the advertiser device being associated with the advertisement, and receive feedback from the advertiser device. The allocation module is configured to allocate revenue based on the feedback. In some examples, the amount of the revenue is independent of the feedback.

Abstract: An exemplary system includes an asynchronous transaction authorization (“ATA”) subsystem configured to record prior approval of transaction parameters from the account holder(s) and approve a transaction with congruent parameters within a subsequent defined time period. If the parameters of a transaction attempt have not been previously authorized by the account holder(s), the parameters of the requested transaction are stored and the transaction is rejected. The ATA subsystem then queries all associated account or card holders (“ACHs”) providing the parameters of the attempted transaction. Upon authorization from the required ACHs, which is a predefined subset of all the associated ACHs, the purchaser and all ACHs may be notified of approval. The subsequent attempted transaction with congruent parameters will be authorized. Authorization will no longer be active after the subsequent transaction has been approved or a time, delta, has lapsed.

Communications between a purchaser and a point of sale device may utilize near field communication (“NFC”) technology.

Abstract: A reusable holder for contact lens cases includes a base, at least one receptacle formed in the base configured to receive a contact lens case, and a time keeping device formed in the base. The time keeping device may include an indicator for the at least one receptacle that indicates a period of time that has lapsed since the contact lens case currently in the at least one receptacle was placed therein to denote a need to discard the contact lens case and a contact lens associated with the contact lens case.
