  • Patent number: 11842381
    Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for bidirectional data parity in a multi-service connected environment using a canonicalization and order connection data structure are described. Bidirectional data parity logic using a canonicalization and order connection data structure with respect to a plurality of systems of a multi-service connected environment may provide for the state of a particular order and/or other data for that order being accurately reflected in each such system for which corresponding record is maintained. Using a canonicalization database and an order connection database, bidirectional data parity logic may recognize all records for a particular instance of an order as being for that order, and thus provide data parity for that order throughout all systems having a record for that order instance.

  • Patent number: 11369570
    Abstract: A delivery device for a active agent comprises nanoparticles based on a biopolymer such as starch. The delivery device may also be in the form of an aptamer-biopolymer-active agent conjugate wherein the aptamer targets the device for the treatment of specific disorders, such as cancer. The delivery device survives for a period of time in the body sufficient to allow for transport and uptake of the delivery device into targeted cells. The degree of crosslinking can provide a desired release profile of the active agent at, near or inside the target cells. The nanoparticles may be made by applying a high shear force in the presence of a cross linker. The particles may be predominantly in the range of 50-150 nm and form a colloidal dispersion of crosslinked hydrogel particles in water.

  • Patent number: 11334844
    Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for order fulfilment using drop shipping from participating suppliers in an electronic marketplace are described. A drop shipping management system may utilize various rules and information regarding merchants, suppliers, items, etc. in facilitating electronic marketplace drop shipping. Drop shipping management systems may, for example, utilize merchant drop ship rules with respect to merchant drop ship information for determining whether drop shipping is to be provided for a merchant with respect to one or more items in the electronic marketplace. Further, drop shipping management systems may utilize supplier drop ship rules with respect to supplier drop ship information in determining a supplier to provide drop shipping with respect to one or more items in the electronic marketplace.

The nanoparticles may be made by applying a high shear force in the presence of a crosslinker. The particles may be predominantly in the range of 50-150 nm and form a colloidal dispersion of crosslinked hydrogel particles in water. The biopolymer may be functionalized. The aptamer may be conjugated directly to the cross-linked biopolymers. The active agent may be a drug useful for the treatment of cancer. The delivery device survives for a period of time in the body sufficient to allow for the sustained release of a drug and for the transportation and uptake of the conjugate into targeted cells. However, the biopolymer is biocompatible and resorbable.

  • Patent number: 10825041
    Abstract: The invention features a system and method for finely tuning the rate at which ad impressions are delivered to users based on various metrics used to characterize the quality of the ad opportunities. With the present invention, more relevant ads can be selected and delivered to a wide range of recipients while still compensating for the variations in the volume of Internet traffic and usage over the course of the day. The system and method of the present invention employ a plurality of bid boundaries corresponding to different volumes of ad opportunities, thereby enabling the invention to adjust the number of ad opportunities sought over the course of day while consistently targeting the mix of ad opportunities yielding the highest response rates and margin. The bid boundaries are selected in real-time based on the behavior of prior ad recipients. The behavior may include click-through rates or entry into a geo-fence, for example.
