20090088784 | SELECTABLE STROKE CUTTER - Apparatus, systems, and devices are described that utilize an adjustable biological tissue cutting handpiece that is based on selectable settings. The biological tissue cutting handpiece includes a cutter tip that allows multiple duty cycles as well as multiple port configurations. For example, when working next to the retina, the port could be adjusted to be a smaller size, allowing delicate membrane dissection. When working near or in less sensitive tissue, e.g. the center of the eye, the port could be wide open. The port aperture size can be independent of cut speed, allowing a surgeon to work at high speed both next to the retina and away from the retina. High speeds have been shown to have increased tissue (e.g., vitreous) removal, e.g., in 25 and 23-gauge instruments. Duty cycle is not necessarily dependent on cut speed, allowing high cutter performance and varied flow characteristics. | 04-02-2009 |

20120296715 | MANAGEMENT OF AN OFFER FOR A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE - Management of an offer for a financial incentive offered by an offeror and, in particular, management of redemption of the offer by a particular user which eliminates the need for a redemption entity to capture a user-unique redemption code or otherwise report redemption in order to track and control the user's redemption of the offer is disclosed. Instead, the user's revelation of the redemption code, via a device associated with the user, may be considered a redemption of the financial incentive by the user regardless of whether the user actually receives the incentive. In particular, offers for financial incentives may be provided in an electronic form to a user, via a device associated with the user, such as the user's personal computer or mobile device, from an offer server, such as via a wired and/or wireless network. The offer includes a redemption code which must be exchanged/presented to the redemption entity, e.g. a merchant or retailer, to obtain the financial incentive. Upon delivery of the offer to the user's device, the redemption code is concealed from the user by the device such that user must take some subsequent action to reveal it, ideally in the presence of the redemption entity or otherwise substantially contemporaneously with the purchase. The revelation, or the attempt thereto, of the redemption indicia may cause the offer to be considered redeemed by the offer server and prevent a subsequent redemption. Upon presentment of the redemption code, the redemption entity provides the requisite financial incentive. | 11-22-2012 |
20120296716 | Management of an Offer for a Financial Incentive - A way of providing offers for financial incentives to users as part of an electronic customer loyalty, rewards, or discount program involving one or more merchants is provided.

First data indicative of at least partial satisfaction of the offer criterion by a user is received. It is determined whether the first data has caused the user to satisfy the offer criterion for that user. Upon determining that the first data has caused the user to satisfy the offer criterion for that user, second data is provided to a mobile device associated with the user. The second data is representative of an offer for a financial incentive redeemable with the merchant. | 11-22-2012 |

20110218966 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR BACKUP AND RESTORATION OF COMPUTER INFORMATION - A computer creates a full backup of a target volume by copying sectors of the target volume. Incremental backups are created by copying modified sectors that have changed since a preceding backup. Public accesses to a restore volume are prevented by modifying a volume boot record (VBR) of the restore volume to prevent file systems from recognizing the restore volume or by filtering public accesses while allowing private block accesses to the restore volume. Sector data are copied from the backup files to the restore volume while the public accesses are being prevented. The restore can begin, using previously created backup files, while the backup is still in process creating new incremental backups for the target volume. The restore volume is finalized after restoring the full or any number of incremental backups by restoring the VBR to indicate the restore volume is valid or stopping the filtering of public accesses. | 09-08-2011 |
