  • Publication number: 20250148497
    Abstract: A computer server system comprises a communications module; a processor coupled with the communications module; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive, via the communications module and from a computing device, a signal including location data indicating a location of a user; determine, based on the location data, that the user is located within a threshold distance of a particular merchant; generate a notification indicating a particular multiplier for the particular merchant; and send, via the communications module and to the computing device, a signal causing the computing device to display the notification, the notification including an option to accept the particular multiplier for the particular merchant.

  • Patent number: 12150675
    Abstract: A colpotomy device having a tissue treatment assembly for performing a hysterectomy is provided. The tissue treatment assembly comprises an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis and an end effector coupled to a distal portion of the elongated body. The end effector can be offset from and rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The tissue treatment assembly also has an axial first electrical contact coupled to the end effector, where the axial first electrical contact is affixed to and rotatable with the end effector. Moreover, the tissue treatment assembly includes a circumferential second electrical contact that can be arranged to contact the axial first electrical contact throughout a rotation of the end effector about the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 12114893
    Abstract: A colpotomy device for performing a hysterectomy is provided. The device includes a flexible drive tube having a proximal end and a distal end and bendable therebetween. The device also has a rotatable cutting implement at the distal end of the flexible drive tube at a specified offset from a bendable longitudinal axis of the flexible drive tube. Furthermore, the device includes couplings located within the flexible drive tube and rotatable about the bendable longitudinal axis of the flexible drive tube. The couplings can be in a series that includes inter-coupling joints and transmits a rotational force between the proximal and distal ends of the flexible drive tube through a variable angle between the couplings. The variable angle can correspond to bending of the drive tube in order to drive rotation of the cutting implement at the specified offset about the axis of the flexible drive tube.

  • Patent number: 11957383
    Abstract: A medical device for performing a hysterectomy is provided. The medical device has a tissue incision assembly that includes a first cup nested within a second cup. The tissue incision assembly also includes a spacer assembly between the first cup and the second cup in order to maintain a spacing between the first and second cups. The tissue incision assembly also has a cutting implement that has a portion extending between, and movable with respect to, the first and second cups. The cutting implement can provide a circular cut guided via the spacing between the first and second cups.

  • Patent number: 11948167
    Abstract: A server computer system comprises a communications module; a processor coupled with the communications module; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive, via the communications module and from a computing device associated with a contributing member, a signal defining one or more interface elements to be displayed on a computing device associated with a non-contributing member and one or more interface elements to be withheld from being displayed on the computing device associated with the non-contributing member; complete a booking request by applying loyalty points from a loyalty point account associated with a group of contributing members to offset a cost of the booking request for the non-contributing member; and responsive to completing the booking request, send, via the communications module and to the computing device associated with the non-contributing member, a signal indicating that

  • Patent number: 11944350
    Abstract: A knob locking assembly for a laparoscopic medical device is provided. The knob locking assembly includes a lock configured to engage the knob locking assembly with a drive tube housing of the laparoscopic medical device in extended and retracted positions where the knob locking assembly rotates but does not translate with respect to the drive tube housing when engaged. The knob locking assembly also has a biasing member that provides a biasing force for biasing the lock in each of the extended and retracted positions to lock out longitudinal translation of the rotatable drive assembly when the knob locking assembly is engaged with the drive tube. In addition, the knob locking assembly includes an actuator to counter the biasing force for disengaging the lock to permit longitudinal translation of the rotatable drive assembly via the knob locking assembly when disengaged.
