Publication number: 20240135405Abstract: A method for redeeming multiple digital offers with a digital code is provided. The method includes retrieving one or more consumer identification values, forming an offer for the consumer, the offer including a digital incentive associated with a product or service of interest for the consumer, and creating, in a persistent record, an offer monitor to update the offer for the consumer and include the offer, the offers associated with multiple products and services of interest for the consumer. The persistent record includes multiple offers for the consumer and is stored at a network address associated with the consumer. The method also includes associating a digital code with the persistent record, and integrating the persistent record with a wallet application installed in the user device. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to cause the system to perform the above method are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Zubin Singh, Tony Mou, Julie Valdez, Kirk Dikun, Todd Schramek, Ryan Monahan, Kevin Hunter

Patent number: 11718480Abstract: A chain conveyor paddle attachment bracket for coupling a paddle to a chain link is disclosed. In embodiments, the chain conveyor paddle attachment bracket includes a bent sheet of metal that forms a first portion and a second portion substantially perpendicular to one another. The first portion of the bent sheet of metal includes two notches on opposite sides of the first portion, wherein the two notches are configured to form a welding interface between the first portion of the bent sheet of metal and a sidebar of the chain link. The second portion of the bent sheet of metal includes an opening configured to receive a fastener for connecting the paddle to the second portion of the bent sheet of metal.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Inventor: Todd Hunter

Patent number: 9189446Abstract: The environment and use of an immutable buffer. A computing entity acquires data or generates data and populates the data into the buffer, after which the buffer is classified as immutable. The classification protects the data populated within the immutable buffer from changing during the lifetime of the immutable buffer, and also protects the immutable buffer from having its physical address changed during the lifetime of the immutable buffer. As different computing entities consume data from the immutable buffer, they do so through views provided by a view providing entity. The immutable buffer architecture may also be used for streaming data in which each component of the streaming data uses an immutable buffer. Accordingly, different computing entities may view the immutable data differently without having to actually copy the data.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Todd Hunter, Jinsong Yu, Martin Taillefer, Gregory Michael Neverov, Dmitry Kakurin, Ahmed Hassan Mohamed, John J. Duffy, Christopher Wellington Brumme, F. Soner Terek

Patent number: 8392358Abstract: A method/system considers the phenomenon of slowly changing dimensions in the process of reporting on facts of a collection of facts organized as, or otherwise accessible according to, a dimensionally-modeled fact collection. A report query specifies a temporal mode, and the specified temporal mode is processed to determine a time extent descriptor (e.g., in view of at least one of a context, in which the report query is made, and at least one dimension coordinate constraint). A processed result of querying the dimensionally-modeled fact collection includes appropriate indications of dimension coordinates in view of the time information from the time extent descriptor.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2006Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: NICE Systems Technologies Inc.Inventors: Todd O. Dampier, Robert Todd Hunter, III, William Banks Shulman

Patent number: 8112387Abstract: A received report query specifies a dimension coordinate constraint and an associated grain for the dimension coordinate constraint. At least one query is generated to the dimensionally-modeled fact collection. A result of providing the at least one query to the dimensionally-modeled fact collection is processed. The processed result includes an indication of every dimension coordinate satisfying the dimension coordinate constraint and having a particular value at the associated grain, and the processed result further includes facts of the dimensionally-modeled fact collection that are specified by at least one other dimension coordinate indicated by the processed result having the particular value at the associated grain and not satisfying the dimension coordinate constraint.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2011Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Merced Systems, Inc.Inventors: Todd O.
