Patent number: 11270301Abstract: A system for combining a payment mechanism with an offer to a consumer is described. The system includes a virtual payment account number generation engine to generate virtual payment account numbers that can be used by a consumer in a payment transaction at a merchant, the virtual payment account number generation service also operable to take a portion of the virtual payment account number and send it as a checkout code to a consumer using the consumer's mobile device, and an offer generation engine used to set rules for an offer to be sent to consumers, create a fund for the offer, and determine individual consumer's eligibility for the offer. The offer is associated with the checkout code such that the offer is processed as part of the payment during the payment transaction using the virtual payment account number.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: ModoPayments, LLCInventors: Gregory W. Harvey, Samuel N. Brown, David S. Sink, Aaron Wilkinson, Michael Menefee, Mark S. Saum, Colm Bergin, Bruce Parker, Ralf Erich Schulz, Jon Buell, Jason Fisher

Patent number: 7568643Abstract: An apparatus and process for defined comminution of polymer gels, wherein the apparatus includes a static cutting element in the form of a cutting screen. The cutting element is optionally supported, and has pretensioned wires, rods, fibers, wovens, stencils or profiles. Optionally, a dynamic cutting element is provided for shortening the gel strands or particles obtained by means of the static cutting unit. Also, a feed unit is provided for feeding the polymer gel to the static cutting element in a clamped-in, shape-stable state. The feeding of the gel is effected batchwise or continuously.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2008Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: DSM Fine Chemicals Austria Nfg GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Gerhard Schoppel, Georg Haeubl, Marion Wagner, Helmuth Kirsch, Erich Schulz, Gerald Summer

Patent number: 4944593Abstract: A method for measuring volume of surface depressions wherein the depression to be measured is or filled with a material which emits wavelength-shifted scatter light under irradiation. The material is illuminated with a light source whose wavelength lies in the absorption region of the material and the wavelength-shifted intensity of the scatter light of the material excited by the light source is measured with a photodetector, whereby the measured intensity is a measure of the volume of the surface depression.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1987Date of Patent: July 31, 1990Assignee: Dr. Ing.

Patent number: 3962483Abstract: A method for making a process cheese resistant to melting is disclosed. This is accomplished by adding to the process cheese between 1 and 20% by weight of a protein which coagulates at temperatures in excess of about 70.degree.C. The protein is added to the process cheese after production of the latter has been completed and when the process cheese has a temperature lower than 70.degree.C. Upon subsequent heating of the process cheese to temperatures in excess of about 70.degree.C, the protein coagulates thereby stiffening the process cheese and preventing melting of the same.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1974Date of Patent: June 8, 1976Assignee: Gervais-Danone AGInventor: Max Erich Schulz
