Patent number: 11938067Abstract: A patient containment system for securing a patient to a patient transport apparatus, comprising a first lower strap and a second lower strap. Each of the first lower strap and the second lower strap have a thigh region, a waist region, and a connection region arranged between the thigh region and the waist region. A first connector is coupled to the connection region of the first lower strap. A second connector is coupled to the connection region of the second lower strap, and is configured to releasably attach to the first connector to at least partially limit movement of the first lower strap relative to the second lower strap. The connection region defines a connection width, and the thigh region defines a thigh width larger than the connection width.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Daniel V.

Patent number: 11928744Abstract: A service engine determines whether there is a potential lack of transaction tax compliance in a plurality of jurisdictions for a plurality of entities. The service engine generates and/or transmits tax compliance data which may include information about potential lack of tax compliance of an entity in various jurisdictions based on rules about establishing nexus for purposes of remitting transaction tax in the jurisdictions. The tax compliance data may include a notification about the generation of the information, such as a notification to the entity that there exists a potential lack of tax compliance of that entity in specific jurisdictions. The service engine may update the tax compliance data dynamically and send corresponding notifications, automatically in real time or near real time for the applicable entity as sales of the entity change and/or rules for establishing nexus change for various jurisdictions.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Avalara, Inc.Inventors: Seth Therrien, Jonathan Parramore, Sujoy Paul, Trevor Thomas, Kelly Woznicki, Jacob Wallace Bixby, Kevin Robert Halverson

Publication number: 20240073200Abstract: A system for communicating email messages using tokens receives a request to send an email message to a receiver. The email message is associated with a sender's email address. The system determines whether the sender's email address is associated with a token from a plurality of tokens stored in a token-email address mapping table. The system generates a particular token for the sender's email address in response to determining that the sender's email address is not associated with a token, where the particular token uniquely identifies the sender's email address. The system sends the email message using the particular token instead of the sender's email address, such that the sender's email address remains anonymous from the perspective of the receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Kelly Renee-Drop Keiter, Michael Robert Young, Tomas Mata Castrejon, III, Rick Wayne Sumrall

Patent number: 7113963Abstract: Method and system that enables faster data synchronization between different databases. In one embodiment, a method for synchronizing data records between databases is provided. Initially, a first database is designated as a source database and a second database as a target database. The modification flag of a first data record in the source database is examined. If the first modification flag is set, the first data record is propagated to the target database. On the other hand, if the first modification flag is not set, a first modification count of the first data record is compared with a second modification count of a corresponding data record in the target database. In this embodiment, each of the modification counts is a value indicating how many times the respective data record has been modified. If it is determined that the first modification count has a higher value than the second modification count, the corresponding data record is updated according to the first data record.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2000Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Palmsource, Inc.Inventor: Kelly Robert McCaw
