Title: An employee determined payroll payment processing method and system
Inventor: ANTHONY CRONIN
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2017-10-25
Abstract: A method of processing payroll payments for employees is performed by a payment processing system (100) and employee devices (160), so that the employee can with access security set short pay periods and have wage payments made according to their profile. This avoids need to reconfigure a payroll server or an employer computer. The payment processing system has an interfacing server (200(a)), a storage server (200(b)), and a processing server (200(c)), using internal signalling and file transfer. They receive (4, 204) from an employer computer (150) net pay data for employees for a long period, and communicating with the employee devices (160) to determine a desired payment split over the long period, and automatically notify (6, 206) an employee device (160) of opening of a window for user editing of a payment split profile, and subsequently are instructed (7, 207) by the employee device as to edit the profile. The servers allow access by the employee device (160) to edit the profile after logging on to the payment processing server (100, 200) with access security credentials and for each payment at the end of a split period, transmit (9, 209) a bank credit transfer file to cause the wage payments to be made. There is a default payment split profile for each employee, for use in the event of failure by an employee device to edit after said notification.

Title: RFID directed video snapshots capturing targets of interest
Inventor: JIMMY CHABRA
IPC: H04N19/17
Filed: 2018-05-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for locating a moving target in a venue and for capturing a sequenced timeline of target directed images is described. Target sensing stations having a wide-angle video camera, such as a 180 video camera, are positioned within the venue. Each sensing station includes a sensing unit, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) transceiver unit, that determines a location and/or direction of travel of the target. The sensing station correlates the RFID transceiver information with the wide-angle video camera to specifically filter and process a video stream from the camera, producing target directed image snapshots from the stream that are assembled at a centralized controller into the sequenced timeline images that may be used in monitoring target movement and to establish location chain for prevention of unauthorized movement.

Title: A soldering compound
Inventor: JOHN MARK CROUCHEN
IPC: B23K101/38
Filed: 2021-02-04
Abstract: A soldering compound may comprise granular spacers 106 to help maintain a minimum physical gap between respective joined surfaces 102, e.g., after application of a compressive force 202. In manufacturing an electrical conductor, solder can be applied to a surface and compressed between joining surfaces while winding tape about an axis.

This can prevent over tightening, voids and dry joints; by ensuring sufficient solder remains between surfaces 102 to be joined. Granular spacers 106 may comprise copper powder, or a copper surface portion; and be less than 60 microns in one dimension. Solder paste may contain flux. The solder compound may have a fusible alloy comprising tin.
