Patent number: 11829984Abstract: A point of sale application may initially process a transaction between a customer and a merchant. While the point of sale application processes the transaction, an add-on application may monitor a current state of a user interface of the point of sale application. Upon recognizing a triggering event associated with the current state of the user interface, the add-on application may take over the processing of the transaction from the point of sale application. Upon completion of the processing of the transaction, the add-on application may return a result of the transaction to the point of sale application by emulating user actions on the user interface of the point of sale application.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: SUMUP, INC.Inventors: Matthew David Doka, Victor Shaun Ho, Patrick Lucas, Michael Hsu, Sarah Calvillo, Joshua Christopher Wilson, Andre Prudhomme

Publication number: 20220151673Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes identifying a nerve extending across a transection path; administering a cooling therapy to the identified nerve at a location proximal to the transection path so as to degenerate the identified nerve across the transection path prior to or during surgical transection along the transection path, wherein cooling the identified nerve prevents or reduces neuroma formation at a transected end of the nerve after transection of the nerve. In some embodiments, a method includes degenerating a portion of a nerve while preserving a connective tissue framework of the nerve. During or after the degeneration, the preserved connective tissue framework may be transected at a transection location distal to the treatment location. The regeneration of the nerve may be repeatedly disrupted for a period of time to reduce a regenerative rate of the nerve and delay neuroma formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: Pacira CryoTech, Inc.Inventors: John Allison, Jessica Preciado Dummett, Michael Hsu

Patent number: 10470813Abstract: The present invention generally relates to improved medical devices, systems, and methods. In many embodiments, devices, systems, and methods for amputating a limb of a patient are provided. In many embodiments, devices, systems, and methods may provide chronic denervation of one or more nerves of a patient as part of a therapeutic treatment. The methods may employ cold for the prevention of neuromas or fibromas associated with amputation of a limb of a patient. Embodiments of the invention include needles that can be advanced through skin or other tissues to cause axonotmesis of a target nerve of the patient and to repeatedly interrupt a regeneration of the nerve so as to provide therapeutic chronic denervation of the target nerve. The therapeutic chronic denervation may delay the formation of neuromas or fibromas in a patient's residual limb and/or may provide long lasting and permanent pain relief associated with the target nerve.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Pacira CryoTech, Inc.Inventors: John Allison, Jessica Preciado Dummett, Michael Hsu
