Abstract: A dual pressure respiratory assistance device including a gas source which supplies a flow of gas into an air tube having a bubbler branch and a patient branch. A first tube that is connected to the bubbler branch is at least partially submerged in a fluid. An oscillatory relief valve cycles between first and second configurations. The relief valve includes an oscillating member which captures gas released through at least one hole in the first tube when the oscillating member is in a first position. The gas in the oscillating member causes the oscillating member to rise to a second position, wherein gas is released from the oscillating member and the at least one hole is blocked when the oscillating member reaches the second position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for invoking functions to cause a change in a displayed price provided for output in a third party website, comprising receiving data corresponding to one or more codes each associated with a respective promotion. In response to determining that a webpage of the third party website output in a web browser is associated with initiating a payment process with the third party website, an interface element is generated and presented in another interface of the web browser. When a user selection of the interface element is received, each of the codes is applied to a data entry interface in the webpage, and based on the respective outcomes of applying each of the codes, a particular code that results in a greatest change in the displayed price is identified. The particular code is then applied to obtain a resulting price that is displayed in the webpage.

Abstract: The field of the invention relates to systems and methods for interfacing with a third party website. In one embodiment, a computer system is configured to directly interface with a website via a webpage to change certain numerical values through the use of digital codes. The digital codes are applied to a data entry interface on the webpage, and the responses are monitored and transmitted back to a server system.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods for interfacing with a third party website, comprising determining that a webpage of the third party website is being output in an interface of a web browser, and in response, generating an interface element that at least partially overlaps the webpage in the interface. The interface element includes a user-selectable graphical trigger that, when selected, causes digital codes to be automatically input into a data entry interface identified in the webpage, thereby triggering the third party website to receive each of the digital codes and to return a respective response. Based on monitoring the respective response to each of the digital codes, a particular digital code is identified that causes a greatest change in a numerical value displayed in the webpage. The particular digital code is applied to obtain a resulting numerical value that is displayed in the webpage.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods for interacting with a webpage of a third party website to change a numerical value displayed in the webpage, comprising receiving digital codes and storing the digital codes in a local memory of a user device. When the webpage is output in a web browser interface, an interface element comprising a graphical trigger is generated and displayed in the web browser interface. In response to receiving a user selection of the graphical trigger, each of the digital codes are submitted to the third party website by simulating user entry of each digital code in the webpage. Based on the respective results of submitting the digital codes to the third party website, a particular digital code is identified that causes a greatest change in the numerical value. The particular digital code is then applied to obtain a resulting numerical value that is displayed in the webpage.

Abstract: A system is provided for netting obligations between entities of a cycle of obligations. Each obligation specifying an quantity of an item that a from-entity of the cycle is obligated to provide to a to-entity of the cycle. For each entity, the system determines whether the sum of its inventory of the item and the quantity of the obligation on which it is a to-entity is sufficient to satisfy the obligation on which it is a from-entity. When sufficient, the system identifies one or more netting transactions to settle the obligations of the cycle. The system then directs the execution of the netting transactions and settlement transactions to effect and record the settling of the obligations.

Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques are described herein for assisting consumers in automatically locating and systematically applying discount codes to electronic commerce platforms in order to obtain reduced prices. Such technology functions as a shopping assistant for online shopping. More specifically, one or more discount codes associated with an electronic commerce platform can be automatically located, evaluated against item(s) selected for purchase by a consumer, and then analyzed to determine the best result for the consumer. Information about the utility of the discount codes may also be recorded to machine-readable storage for further analysis.
