  • Patent number: 11496861
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for wireless beacon devices for use in tracking user locations during group travel. A user may take a trip on a vehicle, such as a bus, train, cruise ship, or other large travel vehicle. The users may disembark the vehicle in order to visit a location but plan to travel further on the vehicle. Thus, when the vehicle is attempting to leave the location where the users have left the vehicle, the vehicle may be required to again account for each passenger. The vehicle may utilize a wireless beacon located near an entrance and/or onboard the vehicle to account for each passenger. The wireless beacon may connect to a communication device of each user when the communication device is in proximity to the wireless beacon and, thus, inform the vehicle's operator that each user in located on the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20140081783
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems provide transaction processing with dynamic generated codes. In an embodiment, a system comprises a remote server adapted to interact with a POS device and a client device; one or more processors; and one or more memories adapted to store machine-readable instructions to cause the system to: receive, by the server at the remote location, a transaction request from the POS device of the seller, wherein the transaction request includes transaction information in connection with a transaction conducted at the POS device; generate a transaction code upon receiving the transaction request from the POS device, wherein the transaction code includes the transaction information; send the transaction code to the POS device; receive an authorization request for the transaction from the client device after the client device reads the transaction code from the POS device; and process the transaction.

  • Patent number: 4450262
    Abstract: Novel hydrophilic copolymers are prepared containing a major portion of polymerized units of an hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate monomer and a minor portion of a nitro-substituted aryl acrylate or methacrylate monomer, and optionally with a minor amount of an alkylene glycol diacrylate or methacrylate as a cross-linking agent. These copolymers are made by a free radical polymerization mechanism or by gamma radiation of the reaction mixture. These copolymers are particularly useful as soft contact lens polymers, being extremely resistant to clouding and/or discoloration in use.
