  • Publication number: 20220387449
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to compositions, kits and methods for non-surgical reduction of localized subcutaneous fat such as that associated with a cosmetic fat accumulation. The methods employ compositions having specific concentrations of a salt of deoxycholic acid which provides a superior fat cell necrosis with modest adverse effects. Examples of localized subcutaneous fat are found in the submental area, in particular under the chin.

  • Patent number: 10825005
    Abstract: An automated banking machine is operable responsive at least in part to read user data to cause financial transfers. The machine is associated with at least one wireless interface and at least one controller. The controller is operable to cause the wireless interface to receive at least one wireless communication from a nearby user mobile device, which communication indicates a sought transaction function (such as the provision of cash) and a sought transaction parameter associated with the sought transaction function (such as a transaction fee below a threshold). The at least one controller is operative to make a transaction availability determination concerning whether the sought transaction function is available in accordance with the sought transaction parameter. If the sought transaction function with the associated parameter is determined to be available, the at least one controller wirelessly communicates the availability to the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10453041
    Abstract: A user who desires to receive cash or other value, operates a mobile device to communicate data corresponding to a user account, an amount and a current location to a remote transaction system. In response the mobile device receives a transaction identifier and data corresponding to a plurality of automated banking machine fulfillment points in proximity to the user's current location. The mobile device outputs information on each of the fulfillment points and the user selects the one desired. The mobile device outputs directions to the fulfillment point. The machine at the selected fulfillment point wirelessly receives the transaction identifier and the identifying data, and the mobile device wirelessly receives a fulfillment point identifier corresponding to the machine.
