Title: Online payment transfer and identity management system and method
Inventor: FLEISHMAN JACK
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: A person-to-person (P2P) payment platform and identity management system which facilitates online banking by allowing consumers to send and receive money in real-time, with no special registration outside of the users' existing banking relationship, and under the security, brand and control of their own respective banks. A central clearing facility (CCF) coordinates and manages payments for users through partner financial institutions. Customers initiate payments within their online banking accounts or other bank delivery channels, without setting up separate accounts profiles and passwords. The CCF is invisible, and allows the customer to access the bank's delivery channel;  select a recipient from a list of past payees or enter a new recipient;  specify a payment amount, an expiry date and the account from which to draw the funds, and optionally write a personalized message; receive immediate confirmation of the transaction, following which an email message is sent to the recipient advising of payment with links to various methods of collection, and receive an email message confirmation when the recipient accepts the payment. The recipient establishes his identity by providing responses to one or more customer-defined challenge-response questions, the accuracy of which must be verified before any financial transaction will be effected.

Patent CA-2453431-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN JIE S
IPC: F25B1/04
Filed: 2004-01-07
Abstract: A rotary, liquid operated integrator refrigeration vapor cycle compressor rotates the liquid of the working fluid. The accelerated liquid drags the vapor from its suction and compresses to a higher pressure than its discharge to be pushed out. After pressurizing the vapor, the centrifugal force of the spinning rotor separates the slowed down liquid from the vapor while speeding it up for the next compression cycle. The high speed liquid is also used to isolate the compartment of high pressure liquid supply from that of low pressure suction vapor.

Inventor: WOLODKO BEN B
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for measuring cross sectional area and flaws in a continuous sucker rod string (20) as the string is conveyed within a borehole (32). These measured parameters are useful in monitoring the physical integrity of the sucker rod string. A magnet (44) is used to saturate an increment (48) of continuous sucker rod, and a coil (45) is used to measure induced flux. Cross sectional area of the rod increment is computed from the flux measurement. One or more Hall effect transducers (42) are used to measure leakage from the increment as a function of distance along the increment. This measurement is used to detect and quantify the type of flaw within the rod increment being investigated. The process is repeated as the sucker rod string is conveyed into or out of the borehole.

Patent CA-2475380-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SOWA WILLIAM A
IPC: F23R3/28
Filed: 1998-12-14
Abstract: A tangential entry premixing fuel injector (10) for a gas turbine engine combustor includes a pair of offset scrolls (18) whose ends define a pair of entry slots (36) for admitting primary combustion air tangentially into a mixing chamber (28) bounded by the scrolls (18) and by longitudinally spaced endplates (14, 14). An array of fuel injection passages (42) extends along the length of the slots. The passage array is configured to inject a primary fuel nonuniformly along the length of the air entry slots and to control the fuel penetration depth d in proportion to slot height H. The injector also includes a flame disgorging centerbody (48) having a bluff tip (54) longitudinally aligned with the injector's discharge plane (22) and a secondary fuel conduit (80) extending through the centerbody for discharging a secondary combustible fluid, preferably gaseous fuel, through a series of fuel discharge openings (84) in the tip (54). The flame disgorging centerbody improves fuel injector durability by resisting ingestion of combustion flame into the mixing chamber (28) and reliably disgorging any flame that is ingested. The controlled fuel penetration depth reinforces the flame disgorging capability of the centerbody by preventing fuel from penetrating into the slowly moving boundary layer attached to the centerbody (48). The bluff character of the centerbody, in combination with its longitudinal alignment with the fuel injector discharge plane, makes the centerbody capable of anchoring the flame at the discharge plane so that combustion occurs aft of the discharge plane where the combustion flame is unlikely to damage the scrolls or centerbody. Introduction of fuel or fuel and air through the openings in the bluff tip encourage the flame to become anchored to the tip and therefore spatially stabilizes the flame, resulting in additional attenuation of acoustic oscillations and further improved combustor durability. The longitudinally nonuniform injection of primary fuel compensates for any mixing nonuniformities attributable to the flame disgorging centerbody and therefore augments flame stability. The injector and an associated method of premixing fuel and air prior to combustion suppress formation of nitrous oxides, and improve the durability of both the injector and the combustor.
