Publication number: 20180174180Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing an interactive loyalty reward program for transactions conducted at transaction terminals, for instance, consumer purchase transactions conducted at a point-of-sale terminal. The system includes a server configured to monitor and identify qualifying transactions under the reward program. The server also coordinates operation of consumer-facing devices accessible to the consumer at the point-of-sale. The consumer-facing devices include an interactive value generator (IVG), which is configured to provide a game-like experience to consumers and interactively generates unspecified reward values for qualifying transactions. A loyalty reward application executing on the transaction terminal is also provided to guide consumer interaction with the IVG and communicate the generated reward values to the server.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Rajesh Chopra, Juan Carlos Gonzalez, Michael J.

Patent number: 6446291Abstract: A process for automatically controlling water level in a washing machine having a motor drive coupled to energize a motor that drives the agitator is provided. The process allows for selecting a target water level based on one or more water-level selection signals. The method further allows for measuring a parameter indicative of the water level based on an actual inertial response of the agitator. A comparing step allows for comparing the actual agitator inertial response against a target agitator inertial response, and a selecting step allows for selectively actuating one or more water valves for allowing passage of water so as to adjust the water level of the washing machine based on deviations between the actual agitator inertial response and the target agitator inertial response.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2000Date of Patent: September 10, 2002Assignee: Mabe Mexico S. de R.L. de C.VInventors: Alfredo Diaz Fernandez, Pedro Roberto Reyes Turrubiarte, Erick Flores Islas, Juan Carlos Gonzalez Garcia Ancira
