20140379562 | INTERMEDIARY PAYMENT AND ESCROW SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method for enabling consumers in a commercial or gaming context to push funds from a traditional open loop account to a closed loop account, and back. At the request of a consumer, funds are transferred to an open loop account of an intermediary payment system that holds or keeps track of virtual closed loop accounts for each consumer and virtual open or closed loop accounts for individual electing merchants or gaming establishments. The consumer may elect to open and use an associated closed loop card to acquire goods or services at the electing private label merchant's or to place a bet at the private label gaming facility or device that will cause funds to be transferred from the consumer's virtual closed loop account to the merchant or gaming establishment's closed loop account. Thereafter, the funds are transferred from the intermediary payment system to an open loop account belonging to the commercial or gaming merchant. The system allows for many unique functionalities so that the consumer does not need a bank account, but can through card features selected, use one or more accounts like a bank account, including for international transactions, linking of cards (as an example for money transfers to students), and make purchases free of digital tracking to the account holding consumer. The method further benefits merchants and others involved in their use through the ability to structure non-traditional fee structures and loyalty or other rewards. | 12-25-2014 |

20110012030 | EBEAM STERILIZATION APPARATUS - Improved electron beam sterilization apparatus and shielding techniques for use in are provided. A controller modulates an ebeam when sterilizing an interior to an object to ensure that adequate dose is received. Sterilization carousels are configured with input/discharge feeds to reduce the possibility of humans being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. The system reduces the amount of shielding required to thereby lower cost of installation. | 01-20-2011 |

20110257645 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING A HOLLOW ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE - A catheter includes multiple primary leads to deliver energy for ligating a hollow anatomical structure. Each of the primary leads includes a resistive element located at the working end of the catheter. Separation is maintained between the leads such that each lead can individually receive power. The catheter can include a lumen to accommodate a guide wire or to allow fluid delivery. Energy is applied until the diameter of the hollow anatomical structure is reduced to the point where occlusion is achieved. In one embodiment, a balloon is inflated to place the resistive elements into apposition with a hollow anatomical structure and to occlude the structure before the application of energy. The inflated balloon impairs blood flow and facilitates the infusion of saline, or medication, to the hollow anatomical structure in order to reduce the occurrence of coagulation and to improve the heating of the structure by the catheter. | 10-20-2011 |
