  • Publication number: 20190251621
    Abstract: A delivery service (DS) computing device for item purchase and delivery is provided. The DS computing device displays a searchable interface that enables a user to select at least one merchant. The DS computing device receives at least one selected merchant location from the user, displays item data of the at least one selected merchant location, and receives cart data from the user. The DS computing device receives, from the user, a selection of a selected carrier, and transmits the cart data to the selected carrier. The DS computing device generates a secure virtual account number for the selected carrier. The secure virtual account number provides access to purchase funds for use, by the selected carrier, in purchasing the selected item. The DS computing device processes a payment transaction for the at least one selected item that includes the purchase funds and a delivery service fee.

  • Patent number: 10023964
    Abstract: Various break-resistant anode assemblies and method of installing the same in the ground are disclosed. Each anode assembly (20) basically comprises an anode (22), at least one pulling cable (24), and a protective nose cone (26). The nose cone is a hollow member receiving the leading end (22A) of the anode and from which the anode's electrical conductor (28) extends. The nose cone includes a tapered leading surface (32) that facilitates and guides the anode assembly as it is pulled through the ground, while protecting the anode. A break-away mechanism (54) may also be provided to ensure that no more than a maximum pulling force is applied to the anode assembly during its installation to ensure that the anode is not damaged.

  • Publication number: 20180197361
    Abstract: A mobile computing device for transmitting token data to a key card reading device having an activation mechanism is provided. The computing device is programmed to receive token data representing access data of a key card, generate a transmission signal representing the access data of the key card based on the token data in response to receiving the token data, and output the transmission signal to the key card reading device. The access data causes the key card reading device to activate the activation mechanism. The transmission signal causes the key card reading device to activate the activation mechanism when the mobile computing device is placed near the key card reading device and the transmission signal is authenticated by the key card reading device.

  • Publication number: 20170039331
    Abstract: A system according to certain aspects of the disclosure provides drug pricing information from multiple PBMs to users. For example, the system may obtain, calculate, and/or estimate drug prices that are available under contracts or agreements between PBMs and various pharmacies. These prices may be prices of drugs for purchase at the various pharmacies. In response to requests for prices of particular drugs, the system can display relevant prices. For example, the system displays a price for each pharmacy chain and/or displays prices for a particular geographical area. The users can compare the prices for a particular drug and determine which pharmacy they would like to purchase the drug from. The system can provide a discount coupon that allows the users to purchase the drug at the price listed by the system at the selected pharmacy.
