20150148722 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MASSAGE THERAPY - The present concept is a device and method for providing massage which addresses the problem of practitioner injury while at the same time allows for the provision of a better massage. The device allows a massage practitioner to deliver to a recipient a spectrum of beneficial physical contacts in a way that spares the provider's hands and arms the repetitive strain that tends to lead to injury or early retirement. The method describes a technique whereby a practitioner delivers a treatment similar to a traditional massage but firstly necessitates less pressure to be exerted by the provider, and secondly delivers a reciprocal hand massage to the provider, while thirdly provides for a largely uninterrupted delivery of physical contact to the recipient. | 05-28-2015 |

20110258061 | Systems and Methods for Self-Service Transactions - A self-service terminal for a product/service cooperates with an application platform accessible by a consumer's mobile device. The terminal assigns an active status to at least one transaction code for a period of time and compares any code manually entered at the terminal during that time against the active code(s) to dispense the product/service in case of a match. In response to a request from the mobile device, an authorized code is sent from the platform to the mobile device to enable the consumer's manual entry of the authorized code at the terminal. The platform may generate the authorized code and forwarded it to the terminal for storage as an active code, or may select it from among codes that are stored on the platform and known to match codes currently in an active state at the terminal based on a predetermined schedule for activating different groups of codes | 10-20-2011 |
