Patent number: 11995678Abstract: Methods, systems and device for verifying a transaction in a loyalty or advertising system are described. One such method includes: receiving, at least one processor, transaction data associated with a transaction between a customer and a merchant; determining, at the at least one processor, from the transaction data whether the customer and the merchant are associated with the loyalty or advertising system; and upon determining from the transaction data whether the transaction corresponds to a reward or advertisement, triggering the redemption of the reward or advertisement.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: EDATANETWORKS INCInventors: Terrance Patrick Tietzen, Matthew Arnold Macpherson Bates, Ronald Rog

Publication number: 20070210599Abstract: A retractable sliding cargo bed includes a stationary frame adapted for mounting onto a deck of a truck or other vehicle and a traveling frame that is movable relative to the stationary frame between a retracted position and an extended position. A locking mechanism is provided which includes stop-members secured to the bottom of the stationary frame at equally spaced intervals. A tandem-locking lever assembly is carried by the traveling frame, which is pivotally mounted for movement about an axis, which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the traveling frame between a downwardly angled locking position and a substantially horizontal release position. The tandem-locking lever assembly is biased into the locking position. A release lever connected to an activation rod is provided for manually releasing and moving the tandem-locking lever assembly to the released and locked positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2006Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventor: Ronald Arnold

Patent number: 4985121Abstract: A component to be used in a papermaking machine for extracting moistu re from a paper web. The component includes a supporting structure and a water permeable member is mounted on the supporting structure and is adapted to support a paper web. The water permeable member comprises a rigid mass of ceramic foam having a plurality of interconnected cells. The ceramic foam has an air permeability in the range of 10 to 1,000 cubic feet per square foot of surface area per minute and has a density of 5 to 100 lbs/cubic foot. When a pressure differential is applied to the permeable member to the paper web, moisture will be extracted from the web and passes through the permeable member.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1989Date of Patent: January 15, 1991Assignee: Appleton MillsInventors: Thomas G. Gulya, Gary V. Schultz, Ronald A. Arnold
