  • Publication number: 20180108205
    Abstract: A promotion server is provided including a promotion processing circuitry configured to receive transaction data from a point-of-sale device (POS) for a fueling environment. The POS is configured to facilitate a sale of goods or services and includes POS processing circuitry configured to receive the transaction data indicative of a good or service. The promotion processing circuitry is further configured to determine promotional data associated with one or more promotions based on the transaction data and cause display data associated with the one or more promotions to be transmitted to a display to be displayed to a customer. Only the promotion server performs the determination of promotional data.

  • Publication number: 20160358146
    Abstract: A payment processing system and method comprising a POS module providing an interface to effect sales of FGS in a retail environment, a device module operatively connected to at least one retail device configured to supply FGS and comprising a card reader adapted to receive a first payment card data for payment for the FGS, wherein the device module is adapted to control operation of the at least one retail device, and a payment system module operatively connected to the POS module and the device module, the payment system module adapted to validate payment for the FGS. The payment system module and the device module are separated from the POS module in order to segment a portion of the payment processing system configured to handle payment card data from a portion of the system that does not handle payment card data.

  • Publication number: 20050222037
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for modulating VE-cadherin-mediated functions are provided. The compositions and methods employ VE-cadherin modulating agents which generally comprise one or more of: (a) a peptide sequence that is at least 50% identical to a VE-cadherin cell adhesion recognition sequence; (b) a non-peptide mimetic of a VE-cadherin cell adhesion recognition sequence; (c) a substance, such as an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds a VE-cadherin cell adhesion recognition sequence; and/or (d) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that comprises a VE-cadherin cell adhesion recognition sequence or analogue thereof.

  • Publication number: 20050037973
    Abstract: Methods for using modulating agents to enhance or inhibit occludin-mediated cell adhesion in a variety of in vivo and in vitro contexts are provided. Within certain embodiments, the modulating agents may be used for cancer therapy or to increase immune cell infiltration into tumors. The modulating agents comprise at least one occludin cell adhesion recognition sequence or an antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds the occludin cell adhesion recognition sequence. Modulating agents may additionally comprise one or more cell adhesion recognition sequences recognized by other adhesion molecules. Such modulating agents may, but need not, be linked to a targeting agent, drug and/or support material.
