Abstract: A sterile drape assembly for draping equipment to create a sterile barrier around the equipment may comprise a hollow elongated drape body and a closure mechanism. The drape body extends between a first end and a second end and has a first drape portion comprising the first end and a second drape portion comprising the second end. The closure mechanism releasably closes, or is configured to releasably close, the first end of the drape body. The sterile drape assembly has a partially inverted state in which the first drape portion is folded back over and covers the second drape portion, and the second drape portion defines a partially enclosed interior volume configured to receive at least a first portion of the equipment.

Abstract: A suture assembly includes a translation assembly that is axially translatable within a working channel of an endoscope and is adapted to releasably secure and/or release a needle and a distal end cap that is securable to an end of the endoscope and is adapted to releasably secure and/or release the needle in order to pass the needle back and forth between the translation assembly and the distal cap. An attachment mechanism configured to releasably secure the distal endcap to an end of the endoscope.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a medical device including a needle configured for use in suturing tissue is described. The needle may include a cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis extending between first and second ends of the cylindrical body. The needle may also include a lumen extending through the cylindrical body transverse to the longitudinal axis. The needle may further include a first end portion at the first end of the cylindrical body. The first end portion may include a sharp point configured to pierce tissue. An outer surface of the cylindrical body may define a first recess in communication with an opening of the lumen and configured to receive an end of a suture.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods enabling cardless cash withdrawals from ATMs and/or other funds dispensing system. In various embodiments, a finite-duration access code is generated and associated with an account from which funds are to be withdrawn in response to a validated request generated at a mobile app operating on a user's mobile computing device. The access code is provided to the user (e.g., via the mobile app), who can then provide the finite-duration access code and an associated PIN to the funds dispensing system. The funds dispensing system transmits the received access code and/or PIN to servers to validate the request. The servers compare the transmitted data against stored data associated with the user's account, and generates a verification response to be transmitted to the funds dispensing system upon verification. The funds dispensing system then provides the requested cash to the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are disclosed for providing a cardholder with a token corresponding to a card account identifier for temporary use in emergency situations in which an existing card account identifier has potentially been compromised, as a result of theft or loss of a transaction card or other potential misappropriation of the existing identifier, or situations in which the existing identifier is otherwise unavailable for use. The card account identifier for temporary use may be associated with conditions that restrict the manner and scope according to which the identifier may be used to gain access to funds. The token is provided to a funds dispensing system that is configured to construct the corresponding card account identifier from the token and initiate a financial transaction using the card account identifier.

Abstract: A system for and method of performing a transaction between a consumer (105) and a business entity (110). The method comprising the acts of priding transaction data from a submitter (105) to a transaction facilitator (120), generating a token (130) that identifies the transaction data, storing the transaction data and the token at the transaction facilitator (120), providing the token to the submitter (105), returning the token (130) to the transaction facilitator, obtaining the stored transaction data identified by the token, and using at least a portion of the obtained transaction data to implement the transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods that receive one or more information associated with a debit card account and receive verification of the information associated with the debit card. Upon the verification, a proxy associated with the information may be generated and stored in association with the information. The proxy may further be provided to other entities that may use the proxy as an indicator of the verification of the debit card account and for initiating transactions using the verified debit card account.

Abstract: Systems and methods that receive one or more images or one or more information elements associated with a payment instrument in the form of a payment request. The payment request may be processed to identify a debit mechanism and a debit card account to which a credit is to be made. A debit transaction may be generated based at least in part on the payment request. A credit transaction may be generated based at least in part on the payment request and the debit card account.
