Patent number: 11935088Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically providing a lending offer for loyalty points based on a customer account analysis. One example method includes initiating an offer analysis for a customer account associated with a particular customer and storing an account balance and a point deficit balance. The offer analysis determines whether to provide an offer for a point loan, and is based on profile information of the customer, a current point balance, and a reward identified from the loyalty account. If an offer is to be provided, an offer for a loan of points equal to the difference between the current point balance of a loyalty account and the point value cost of the reward is transmitted to a client device of the customer. If accepted, the current point balance and the point deficit are both incremented by the amount of the offer.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Adrian Bloy, Danielle Marie Mullenax, Dominic Elia, Michael James Taggart, Lance Lucas Leisher, Arlene Lori Maciver, Christiane Jewer, Ameya Warty, Javon Tavoy Findlator, Sean Michael Mullen, Stacey-Anne Callender, Jeffery Macdonald, Sheirline Hanna

Patent number: 11918276Abstract: A system is configured to delivering radiofrequency power to the endometrial lining tissue of a uterine cavity, including modulating the delivered power so that a measured impedance of the endometrial lining tissue tracks a target impedance as a function of time, wherein the target tissue impedance is derived from a function that approximates a preferred endometrial lining tissue ablation impedance curve that is determined based upon a measured impedance of the endometrial lining tissue after RF power has been delivered for a predetermined initial time period.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Hologic, Inc.Inventors: William Lucas Churchill, Danielle Gline Allen

Patent number: 5967211Abstract: This invention relates to a tire with a rubber tread reinforced with silica and containing one or more additives designed to aid ice traction for the tread. Such additive is selected from at least one of (i) at least one organic fiber having hydroxyl groups on the surface thereof selected from cellulose fibers and wood fibers and (ii) small, hollow, spherical ceramic particles having silanol groups on the surface thereof. The rubber is composed of at least one or more diene-based sulfur vulcanizable elastomers having a Tg of less than -30.degree. C. and containing silica as predominant particulate reinforcement and other traditional rubber compound ingredients. In particular, a coupler is used to couple the silica as well as the said additive(s) to the elastomer(s) in the tire tread composition.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1997Date of Patent: October 19, 1999Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Danielle Lucas, Giorgio Agostini, Filomeno Gennaro Corvasce, James Oral Hunt, Olivier Louis
