  • Publication number: 20170351889
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a smart harbor device for intelligent updating and selection for use of transaction processing terminal devices. A smart harbor device may be used to provide updating, servicing, and other maintenance of transaction processing terminal devices, such as EMV terminals used in retail transaction processing. The smart harbor device may include a port where the transaction processing terminal devices may be places, and the smart harbor device may connect to each of the transaction processing terminal devices. Once connected, the smart harbor device may run diagnostics to determine the statuses and conditions for each of the transaction processing terminal devices and maintenance the transaction processing terminal devices. The maintenance may be performed at times where the transaction processing terminal devices are not required for use. Additionally, the smart harbor device may intelligently select one based on statuses and device capabilities.

  • Patent number: 8580962
    Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of using antagonists selective for the metabotropic mGlu5 receptor to treat conditions of neuromuscular dysfunction of the lower urinary tract in a mammal. Provided are methods of treating a mammal suffering from a condition of neuromuscular dysfunction of the lower urinary tract by administering a selective mGlu5 antagonist. The selective mGlu5 antagonist may be administered alone or in combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents for treating such a condition. Also provided are methods of identifying selective mGlu5 antagonists that are useful for treating neuromuscular dysfunction of the lower urinary tract in a mammal. Methods for treating migraine and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using selective mGlu5 antagonists are also disclosed.
