  • Publication number: 20240148611
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical vial, container assembly, system and method. The vial can include a hollow body, a first passage, a second passage, a first temporary closure sealing the first passage, and a second temporary closure sealing the second passage. A diluent container can include a first connector to connect the diluent container and vial in fluid communication for mixing an active pharmaceutical ingredient with a diluent. An infusion set can include a second connector to connect the infusion set and vial in fluid communication, and a delivery device. The method can include the steps of connecting the diluent container to the first temporary closure of the vial, transferring a diluent from the diluent container into the vial, reconstituting an active pharmaceutical ingredient with the diluent to form a solution, connecting the delivery device to the second temporary closure, and administering the solution through the delivery device into a patient.

  • Patent number: 11941653
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for testing and applying codes to electronic shopping carts. For instance, the method may include monitoring a shopping cart associated with an e-commerce website and with a user; in response to detecting a change to the shopping cart, testing codes with respect to a present content of the shopping cart to determine valid codes; selecting at least one of the valid codes; determining a status of the session; and performing an action based on the status and the at least one selected code. The testing the codes with respect to the present content of the shopping cart may include: cloning the shopping cart to form a cloned shopping cart in a shadow session; and/or obtaining the codes; and testing the codes on the cloned shopping cart in the shadow session to determine the valid codes.

  • Publication number: 20240086402
    Abstract: A website is navigated automatically in a sequential manner, for example by performing a series of specific network requests in a specified order, without necessarily using a browser, and without necessarily rendering each web page in the sequence. Interactions with a website are automatically recorded, stored, and analyzed. Requests and responses can be associated with particular input/output operations. Based on the analysis, the system can determine what data is expected by web servers, so that it can effectively simulate browser operations in connection with those web servers, and extract useful information from the data received in response to those operations. Thus, data extraction and/or other operations can be performed more efficiently and more quickly, while reducing the computing resources needed.

  • Publication number: 20240013248
    Abstract: Multiple on-line coupons are automatically tested on items of interest to a customer, without requiring the customer to perform any action or to look for such coupons in various sources. Such testing can be automatically initiated and performed on items within the customer's shopping cart. Alternatively or additionally, testing can be automatically initiated and performed while the customer is browsing a page for an item on an e-commerce website, before the customer has even placed items in his or her shopping cart. The best coupon or coupons are then presented to the customer, or automatically applied to provide the customer with the appropriate discounts.

  • Publication number: 20140074176
    Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a method of transient and selective suppression of neural activities of a target of interest, such as one or more nerves, includes selectively applying at least one light to the target of interest at selected locations with predetermined radiant exposures to create a localized and selective inhibitory response therein. The localized and selective inhibitory response comprises a local temperature change.
