  • Publication number: 20250148498
    Abstract: Methods may include initiating, by a client device, a checkout operation including a default transaction amount associated with a plurality of items and a plurality of promotions. A device may receive data associated with multiple display promotions, where the data includes a single default promotional code associated with the default transaction amount, the plurality of items, and the plurality of promotions. A device may display an error message for at least one display promotion of the multiple display promotions. A device may decline the checkout operation, wherein a server call reduces processing time used to validate error messages during the checkout operation, and where the single default promotional code prevents or reverses payment associated with the error message.

  • Patent number: 12229797
    Abstract: A system and method for processing promotions in connection with digital purchasing. Data associated with a digital purchase request made by a consumer (the data comprising a token, an amount associated with the transaction, a promotional code for each item included in the digital purchase request associated with a promotion, a default transaction amount, and a single default promotional code) is received from a merchant server. The single default promotional code is assigned to all items included in the digital purchase request that are associated with promotions. Using the token, account information associated with the consumer is retrieved from a database. For each promotional code received, promotional information is retrieved. The retrieved promotional information is displayed. The digital purchase request is submitted for processing using the single default promotional code.

  • Publication number: 20240360020
    Abstract: Methods and equipment of this invention enable small scale animal farming operations to substantially all or nearly all the recoverable value from their manure streams at a cost suitable for such smaller scale operations. The invention gives small scale animal farming operations the opportunity to obtain manure recovery benefits typically obtainable only in animal farming operations having high animal populations. The recovery is in forms that are both useable, readily monetized, environmentally sustainable, and cost effective. Much of the recovered material can find use back within the processing steps of invention thereby increasing the value of the recovered residual materials.

  • Patent number: 12004621
    Abstract: Presently provided is a cargo carrying device, an expandable wall support, and method. The cargo carrying device has one or two expandable wall supports configured to transform from a contracted orientation to an expanded orientation. The expandable wall support has legs disposed with a center hub assembly at one end and beams disposed at the other of the legs. Upon the expandable wall support being disposed in the contracted orientation, the legs are disposed substantially parallel with each other and the beams enclose the legs and the center hub assembly. Upon the expandable wall support being disposed in the expanded orientation, each of the beams is disposed to form a longitudinally extending corner and the legs are disposed to support a wall.

  • Patent number: 11782178
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for marine seismographic data acquisition, in particular for use in survey design. The invention provides a method for marine seismographic acquisition whereby subsea data and information can be collected using sea floor receivers and suspended receivers simultaneously. This is achieved by aligning the geometries of the two acquisition techniques and utilizing a system of wide-towed seismic sources that produce seismic energy on all the source point locations required to fulfil both acquisition methods.

  • Patent number: 9996954
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for displaying physiological information with a physiological monitor. A physiological parameter, for example oxygen saturation, is computed from a received physiological signal, for example a PPG signal. At least one metric associated with the received physiological signal is determined, for example a statistical measure of uncertainty associated with the determined physiological parameter. Display parameters are determined, for example a width parameter, based on the metrics and a trace of the computed physiological parameter for a subject is displayed. In some embodiments, the width of the displayed trace may be varied based on the width parameter. In some embodiments, additional or alternative characteristics of the displayed trace may be varied based on respective display parameters.
