Inventor: IM SUNGBIN
IPC: G06Q20/28
Filed: 2011-05-20
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for operating a gift card network are disclosed. The system receives registration data from first and second merchants, each having one or more points of sale, and processes the registration data to establish membership of the merchants in a gift card network. The system then receives card issuance data from the first merchant, the card issuance data reflecting at least a unique serial number and a monetary value associated with a network gift card issued by the first merchant. The network gift card is redeemable at the first merchant or at other merchants which have established membership in the gift card network. When a transaction occurs in which the card issued by the first merchant is used at the second merchant, transaction data is received from the second merchant, the transaction data indicating that at least a portion of the monetary value of the network gift card has been redeemed at the second merchant. In response, the system applies a credit to the first merchant, the credit being equal to or derived from the value that has been redeemed at the second merchant.

Title: Compositions and methods for treating presbyopia, mild hyperopia, and irregular astigmatism
Inventor: ABAD JUAN CARLOS
IPC: A61K31/4178
Filed: 2012-09-19
Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for treating ocular conditions, including presbyopia, mild hyperopia, irregular astigmatism, hyperopic accommodative esotropia, and glaucoma. The compositions can also be used to potentiate or enhance interventions that retard, reverse, or modify the aging process of the crystalline lens and its surrounding tissues. The compositions include a cholinergic agent, such as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3 agonist, and an alpha agonist having an imidazoline group or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) having COX-2 selectivity. It has been found that an alpha agonist having an imidazoline group or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) having COX-2 selectivity in combination with a cholinergic agent, such as pilocarpine, act synergistically to improve the accommodative and focusing ability of the eye while minimizing the side effects from each compound.

Title: Processes and systems for depositing coating systems, and components coated therewith
Inventor: RODGERS MATTHEW ALAN
IPC: B05B1/26
Filed: 2013-07-18
Abstract: Processes and systems for forming a coating system on a component. The process of forming the coating system on the component includes placing an apparatus in a location that promotes coating particles in flight to be redirected towards a surface on the component. The surface is obstructed by portions of the component limiting line-of-sight from a source of the coating particles to the surface. The coating particles are then deposited onto the surface of the component. The coating particles initially travel in a direction of initial particle travel and are redirected by the apparatus towards the surface on the component at a direction of final particle travel relative to the surface. The line-of-site from the source of the coating particles is at an angle of less than 30 degrees relative to the surface of the component and the direction of final particle travel is at an angle of 30 degrees or more relative to the surface of the component.
