Abstract: A patient transport apparatus comprises a support structure. The support structure comprises a base, a frame, and a patient support surface to support a patient. One or more handle assemblies are coupled to the frame to maneuver the patient transport apparatus. The handle assemblies comprise one or more handles to be manipulated by a user. The handles are capable of being adjusted to facilitate maneuvering of the patient transport apparatus, such as pushing/pulling the patient transport apparatus along a floor surface, lifting the patient transport apparatus over obstacles, loading the patient transport apparatus into an emergency vehicle, and/or unloading the patient transport apparatus from the emergency vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for obtaining electronic resources, including programming logic, on a mobile device use location data sent to a predefined network address. Location data representing the location of a mobile device is sent to a predefined network address which determines the appropriate electronic resources to return to the mobile device based upon the location data. The electronic resources themselves or references to the electronic resources are returned to the mobile device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for location based authentication are disclosed wherein the location of an electronic device associated with a recipient, sender, or both are used to authenticate the identity of a user or authenticity of a document, where the location of the electronic device may be verified using a round-trip time calculated through a switched network, through a breadcrumb location history, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Systems and Methods determine a failure rate or time period for anticipated failure for a component of a product or the product itself utilizing data sets comprising a product identifier, a component identifier, and a user identifier. Product warranty registration is accomplished using the product or component identifier with a warranty identifier that enables determination of in-use date of a particular product or component, which results in more accurate determinations of component failure rates and warranty periods.

Abstract: Methods and systems including computer program products for providing a mobile device with relevant content about products. The method includes receiving several electronic communications regarding several product identifiers, storing the several electronic communications in a product notification database, extracting one or more electronic communications containing the relevant product content, and withholding from the mobile device and maintaining at the product notification database the several stored electronic communications not extracted.

Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer program products, for providing a mobile device with relevant content about products. Several electronic communications are received regarding several product identifiers. The electronic communications are stored in a product notification database. One or more electronic communications containing the relevant product content are extracted and withheld from the mobile device. The electronic communications that were not extracted are maintained at the product notification database. Extracting further includes obtaining a geo-fenced location from the mobile device, looking up a business class for the geo-fenced location, scanning the several electronic communications for product identifiers matching the business class, flagging one or more electronic communications regarding product identifiers matching the business class, creating a product alert from the one or more flagged electronic communications and transmitting the alert to the mobile device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing a usage-based insurance policy for a cargo-handling conveyance is initiated with pre-registration of the cargo-handling conveyance by recording a unique cargo-handling conveyance identifier. Next, usage-based insurance of the cargo is requested by transmitting, over a communications network, location parameters of the cargo-handling conveyance and one or more article identifiers representing the one or more articles. Using the one or more article identifiers to query a source location database known source locations of the one or more articles are obtained. The known source locations of the one or more articles are compared with the cargo-handling conveyance location parameters and a first premium rate is computed and the unique cargo-handling conveyance identifier and is associated with a usage-based cargo insurance policy having the first premium rate in a policyholder database.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for product notification, a product notification request is received from a user identified by a mobile subscriber identity. By employing the mobile subscriber identity, a product notification is sent to the user in accordance with the product notification request. This and other methods may be performed with a system including a processor, a memory and an application loaded on the memory. The application further includes a mapping module arranged to associate a product notification request with a user identified by a mobile subscriber identity and a delivery module configured to send a product notification to the user in accordance with the product notification request.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for product notification a mobile subscriber identity is transmitted to register the user for a product notification service without transmitting the name of the user. A product provider identifier is sent and a notification pertaining to products associated with the product provider identifier is received in accordance with the product notification service. This and other methods may be performed with a system including a processor, a memory and an application loaded on the memory. The application further includes a transmitter configured to send a mobile subscriber identity associated with a user from the mobile device to anonymously register the user for a notification service and to send an identifier of one or more providers of products received by the user and a messenger arranged to receive a notification.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for product notification a notification is received pertaining to products associated with a product provider, the notification is related to a mobile subscriber identity of a user registered to receive the product notification and marketing data associated with the mobile subscriber identity is forwarded to the product provider. This and other methods may be performed with a system including a processor, a memory and an application loaded on the memory. The application further includes a delivery module configured to receive a product notification pertaining to products associated with a product provider, a coupling module formulated to relate the product notification with a mobile subscriber identity. Also included with the application is a transmitter configured to forward, to the product provider, marketing data associated with the mobile subscriber identity.

Abstract: Systems and methods, including computer program products, for facilitating and expediting discovery of contaminated products. Second personal identifiers associated with a first personal identifier are looked up. A list of merchant identifiers and transaction identifiers associated with the second personal identifiers are retrieved. From the merchant transaction database, a list of product identifiers associated with the second consumer identifiers is extracted. The list of product identifiers is compared to a potentially contaminated product list and the potentially contaminated product list is updated with product identifiers common to both the list of product identifiers and the potential contaminated product list.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter relates to the field of electronic inventory control and tracking. In particular, the present invention relates to controlling and tracking livestock inventory items throughout the supply chain, from the birth of an animal to the sale of an animal product to the consumer. The inventive subject matter permits the development of animal product brands and/or marks, and provides a higher degree of source knowledge and producer accountability than has previously been available.

Abstract: A system and method which allows third-parties to monitor company inventory via the Internet and World Wide Web (“web”) and automatically order needed items. The present invention also provides a forum through which resellers and customers may directly interact to resell surplus and used equipment. The present invention may also allow a third party to act as a broker, thereby assuring that both the equipment purchased is actually delivered, and that the seller is properly compensated.
