Inventor: BARRY GERARD J
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2003-09-01
Abstract: This invention relates to the field of commerce and in particular to a method of transferring funds using a payment card. Existing funds transfer systems suffer from a number of problems including for example lengthy delays associated with their delivery, high processing costs and high administrative costs. To alleviate these difficulties the present invention provides a method of transferring funds from a first payment cardholder to a second payment cardholder comprising the steps of; receiving an indication from the first cardholder that a transfer of funds is required to the second cardholder, generating a first payment card transaction between a first merchant and the first cardholder for a negative amount associated with the value of funds to be transferred, and generating a second payment card transaction between a second merchant and the second cardholder for a positive amount associated with the value of funds to be transferred. The advantage provided by this arrangement is that using existing payment card systems, transfers of funds can be effected efficiently between cardholders, without significant delay.

Title: Method for production of nitrate-containing products from undercooling melts
Inventor: ISAKSEN JAN BIRGER
IPC: C01B21/48
Filed: 2002-11-01
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the production of nitrate containing products (fertilizers, technical products) from undercooling melts, wherein a XN - water solution is evaporated up to a content of 50-99.8 weight % XN, where X is one or more selected from Ca, Mg, NH4, Na and K, and N means nitrate. The preferred range of XN is 70-99.5 weight %. The melt is cooled down to and kept at a temperature at or below the crystallisation point and finely divided solid XN powder consisting of the equilibrium phases is added to the melt. Melt drops are then formed and allowed to cool and solidify during up to 70 seconds. It is preferred to use a cooling belt for solidification of the particles. The belt is cooled by air, water, oil or another medium.
