Publication number: 20230176874Abstract: Techniques for improved mobile application architectures and service communication protocols are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a mobile device configured for providing a mobile application including multiple service applications. The service applications may execute asynchronously and in separate containers, providing service orientated architecture (SOA)-like services with respect to other portions of the mobile application, or even external applications. The separation of a monolithic mobile application into separate service applications provide advantages in terms of application performance, development, and maintenance. For example, a subset of all service applications may be started up, and executed on demand to improve device resource utilization efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Michael BURTON, Shaheen GHIASSY, Andrei PITEA, Adam GEITGEY, Jan KREMS, Daniel BEARD, Matthijs MULLENDER, Luis Felipe BRAHM-SMART

Publication number: 20220237659Abstract: A computer-executable method, a computer system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided for causing electronic marketing communications of one or more promotions to be generated on a mobile computing device associated with a consumer. A method includes programmatically retrieving promotion data indicative of a plurality of promotions from a computer memory. The method includes determining, using processing circuitry, a promotion score for each of the plurality of promotions. Each promotion score is determined based on consumer profile data, stored consumer activity data, and at least one of: current consumer activity data, current local context data, or predicted consumer activity data. The method further includes outputting indications configured to generate electronic marketing communications associated with the plurality of promotions based on the promotion scores of the plurality of promotions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Don Albert CHENNAVASIN, Lawrence Lee WAI, Hamish BARNEY, Devdatta GANGAL, Daniel BEARD, Valampuri LAKSHMINARAYANAN, Michael BURTON

Publication number: 20210393188Abstract: An apparatus for measuring arterial pulse and heart rate of a subject includes a wearable sensor assembly configured to be attached to the subject to measure the blood pressure of the subject. The apparatus further includes a signal processor configured to receive blood pressure data from the wearable sensor assembly and to perform time-series analysis on the blood pressure data. The processor then determines baroreflex functionality of the patient, from the blood pressure data. Further, the processor determines an indication of hypertension in the subject from the baroreflex functionality.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Daniel A. Beard, Daniel E. Michele, Brian E. Carlson, Feng Gu

Publication number: 20120111901Abstract: A drip resistant dispensing valve for fluids is disclosed, which provides a dispensing outlet configured to minimize the tendency for residual fluid to collect in and drip from the dispensing outlet while maintaining a simple construction for ease of manufacture. The dispensing outlet face is situated a distance away from the valve body, which tends to prevent, or at least minimize the risk of, contact between potentially contaminating external surfaces with the surfaces of the discharge outlet. Such construction assists in minimizing the retention of fluid on the surfaces of the dispensing outlet, and migration of the fluid to surfaces outside of the dispensing outlet that could tend to promote growth of biological contaminates and/or provide additional surfaces that could pool fluid following a dispensing operation and thereafter drip from the valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2010Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: International Dispensing CorporationInventors: Daniel Beard, Kevin Totten, Charles Webster
