Patent number: 11966944Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: SYNCHRONY BANKInventors: Rinki Garg, James Wallace, Jonathan Schmidt, Taylor Young, Prakash Kothandapani, Rajasekhara Palanki, Deborah Bernert, Jennifer Muller

Publication number: 20240079146Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for rapid generation of simulations of a patient's spinal morphology that enable pre-operative viewing of a patient's condition and to assist surgeons in determining the best corrective procedure and with any of the selection, augmentation or manufacture of spinal devices based on the patient specific simulated condition. The simulation is generated by morphing a generic spine model with a three-dimensional curve representation of the patient's particular spinal morphology derived from existing images of the patient's condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: K2M, Inc.Inventors: John Schmidt, Margaret Redford, Jennifer McCool, Anthony Young, Noah Q.

Patent number: 11578353Abstract: The invention refers to a method and a device for the phenotypic detection of carbapenemases and carbapenemase producers by adding a substrate of general formula A-(L)-M1-(X)—Z, where M1 is a carbapenem backbone, A or Z is a quencher, the other one of the two, Z or A, is a fluorophore, L is an optional linker, X is an optional leaving group for linking Z to the carbapenem backbone, and Z is an optional leaving group, to a sample suspected of containing such carbapenemase producers and/or carbapenenmases. The invention further refers to a method for the phenotypic detection of resistant bacteria, in particular 3MRGN or 4MRGN, by releasing the enzymes of a bacterial culture into a lysate during lysis and then subjecting the lysate, as the sample to be analyzed, to an aforementioned method in order to phenotypically detect the presence of resistance-conferring carbapenemases.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Jennifer Schmidt, Sabine Trupp

Patent number: 10031080Abstract: A method for detecting resistant germs in a sample includes contacting the sample by a sample carrier which has an agent for killing different germs. In addition, the method includes introducing the sample carrier into an analyzer and detecting light emissions from the sample carrier by the analyzer. An indication is output by the analyzer indicating that the sample contains at least one germ resistant to the agent for killing different germs, if the light emission exceeds a threshold value, or indicating that the sample does not contain germs resistant to the agent for killing different germs, if the light emission does not exceed the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignees: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V., Asklepios Kliniken Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbHInventors: Jennifer Schmidt, Ignaz Eisele, Sabine Trupp, Karl Haberger, Wolfgang Sittel

Publication number: 20160223534Abstract: A device for detecting resistant bacteria includes a microfluidic chip, a detector and an analyzer. The microfluidic chip includes fluidic structures having a fluid inlet and an interaction chamber fluidically connected to the fluid inlet, and a labeled substrate that is immobilized inside the interaction chamber and enters into a verifiable interaction with bacterial factors of bacteria, so that by introducing a culture medium containing an active substance to be analyzed and the bacteria into the interaction chamber and by detecting the result of the verifiable interaction, it can be ascertained whether the bacteria are resistant to the active substance to be analyzed. The detector detects information that is a measure of whether or not the verifiable interaction has taken place. On the basis of the detected information, the analyzer outputs a display regarding the resistance of the bacteria to the active substance to be analyzed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2016Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: Jennifer SCHMIDT, Anna OHLANDER
