Patent EP-1675080-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RUEHMKORF HORST
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: In this method a credit card entitled for rebates initiates a payment transaction with a merchant granting rebates, resulting in a rebate amount being calculated from the purchase sum of the payment transaction and a set rebate rate and the rebate amount being forwarded to a storage area assigned to the rebate entitled card holder and added to the value contained in the storage area. In this way, consumers can purchase by credit card and automatically receive to their credit a rebate from instituted merchants. From the storage area, representing a (virtual) banking account accumulating rebate amounts can then be regularly remitted to an insurance company or a finance investment institute for building up a retirement pension. Contained in a consumer pension organisational entity are, more particularly, a communications server (5) for receiving the transaction information from the card issuer and a data base server (2) for storing and managing the consumer and merchant related information and for calculating the rebate amount.

Abstract: The present invention relates to unsaturated polyester resin or vinyl ester resin compositions; that are curable with a peroxide component; and that, comprise - while being cured - a salt and/or a base, a polymer containing reactive unsaturations, optionally a reactive diluent, and a dioxo-component; which compositions are essentially free of cobalt; and contain either as the salt an organic or inorganic salt of which the cation has a redox potential of the metal of at most -1 V, or is an ammonium ion; and/or as the base either an inorganic base of which the cation has a redox potential of the metal of at most -1 V, or a nitrogen containing organic compound; and in which the dioxo-component consists of one or more dioxo-compounds having a calculated reduction energy (CRE), being the energy difference in kcal/mole between the lowest energy conformations of the radical anion and the corresponding neutral molecule as calculated by means of the Turbomole Version 5 program, in the range of from -5 to -30 kcal/mole. These resin compositions show a reduced gel-time drift tendency. Moreover, it has been found that gel-time of these resin compositions can be easily and favorably adjusted by varying the amount of base. 
     The present invention further also relates to objects and structural parts prepared from such unsaturated polyester or vinyl ester resin compositions by curing with a peroxide. The present invention finally also relates to methods of peroxide curing of unsaturated polyester resin or vinyl ester resin compositions.

Abstract: An amplifier (50) for voice or audio signals, and particularly for headset applications, uses a low  g     m    amplifier (54) for initially charging an output node (OUT) at the beginning of a power-on phase. After charging the output node, a main amplifier (56) is enabled to amplify the voice or audio signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (and corresponding method) for reducing fuel consumption in a four-stroke trunk piston diesel engine, the system comprising: a replenishment system (102) connected to receive engine oil from a four-stroke trunk piston diesel engine (100) and to receive replenishment oil (HFO), where the replenishment system (102) is configured for mixing the engine oil and the replenishment oil resulting in a mixed oil (103) that is introduced into the engine (100). 
     In this way, the typical degradation process of the engine oil is slowed by replenishing it the adverse effects associated with the degradation process are reduced or slowed or even avoided in a very simple way. Thus, the replenishment system provides enhanced and consistent performance of the initial engine oil resulting in greatly reduced component wear and equipment lifecycle cost. Even further, a more environmentally friendly system is provided since less waste in the form of spent oil is produced as the usability period of time for the engine oil is prolonged. 
     Thus great economical savings and environmental improvements are achieved.

Abstract: A method of cleaning a membrane in a membrane separation activated-sludge process. By the method, deposits adherent to the surface of a membrane used in a membrane separation activated-sludge process can be effectively scratched off and the membrane filtration rate can be prevented from decreasing. Membrane-cleaning particles (4) in which the surface to be in contact with the water to be treated has been hydrophilized and has a surface roughness of 100-2,500 µm are introduced into a bioreactor (1). The particles are caused to flow by the lifting effect of air bubbles ejected from an aerator (3) or by the fluidizing effect of a fluidizing means to thereby cause the particles to scratch off deposits adherent to the surface of a separation membrane element (2). In one embodiment, membrane-cleaning particles (4) which are non-porous or have closed cells are used. In another embodiment, membrane-cleaning particles (4) having an antibacterial ingredient, such as copper or silver, supported on the surface or in inner parts thereof are used. In a still another embodiment, the membrane-cleaning particles (4) are periodically brought into an anaerobic condition to remove microorganisms from the particle surface.
