Abstract: One or more instances of virtual point-of-sale (POS) devices are established in the cloud for use by customers at a physical merchant location. The customers may provide payment information and an indication of the item(s) they wish to purchase by using a mobile computing device at the merchant's location and to communicate with a POS device associated with the merchant location. The mobile computing device can be used to select the merchant, select the item(s) and make a payment for the item(s). The POS device can provide an electronic receipt to the mobile computing device which the customer may show to the merchant as evidence that the customer has paid for the item(s). Validation data, such as an image selected by a merchant, is rendered on the mobile device of the customer to provide the merchant confirmation of a valid payment.

Title: In-situ homogenization of dc cast metals with additional quench
Inventor: FENTON WAYNE J
IPC: B22D9/00
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for direct chill casting ingots with in-situ homogenization. Large particles of eutectic materia! may form in the solid ingot and the metal may exhibit macrosegregation of alloying components, especially when large ingots are cast in this way. This can be alleviated by applying a first liquid coolant to the ingot emerging from the mold, removing the first liquid coolant at a certain distance along the ingot by means of a wiper, and then applying a second liquid coolant to perform a quench at a greater distance along the ingot. The quench raises the level of the molten sump in the ingot, which helps to overcome the indicated problems, without affecting the desired temperature rebound of the ingot shell (usually at least 425°C (797°F)) for a time effective to cause in-situ homogenization.
