  • Publication number: 20240135405
    Abstract: A method for redeeming multiple digital offers with a digital code is provided. The method includes retrieving one or more consumer identification values, forming an offer for the consumer, the offer including a digital incentive associated with a product or service of interest for the consumer, and creating, in a persistent record, an offer monitor to update the offer for the consumer and include the offer, the offers associated with multiple products and services of interest for the consumer. The persistent record includes multiple offers for the consumer and is stored at a network address associated with the consumer. The method also includes associating a digital code with the persistent record, and integrating the persistent record with a wallet application installed in the user device. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to cause the system to perform the above method are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7619418
    Abstract: A magnetic flowmeter transmitter includes a flowtube and measurement circuitry which provides an output related to flow through the flowtube. Output circuitry, such as analog and pulse output circuitry, provides transmitter output(s) related to flow through the flowtube. Output verification circuitry of the transmitter is coupled to the output circuitry and provides verification of proper operation of the output circuitry by analyzing the output signals.

  • Patent number: 7353119
    Abstract: A magnetic flowmeter for measuring flow of a process fluid includes a coil configured to apply a magnetic field to the process fluid. Electrodes are arranged to sense a fluid voltage signal related to the applied magnetic field and fluid flow. An analog to digital converter provides a digital output comprising a plurality of digital samples related to the sensed fluid voltage signal. Computation circuitry receives the digitized samples and responsively provides an output related to flow.
