Abstract: A method of performing a time-of-transaction currency conversion from a merchant's local currency to a cardholder's credit card currency is disclosed.  The conversion rate is developed by reference to the particular merchant, acquirer, card association and issuer (206,210,212). After a merchant has generated an authorization re quest in the merchant's currency for a transaction by a cardholder in a different currency, the transaction amount in the authorization is converted from the merchant's currency to the currency of the cardholder's issuing currency (208), and optionally modified to include additional fees. The converted authorization request is then transmitted to the appropriate card association (210) and then to the issuing bank (212) for authorization, with a response returned to the merchant (201). The cardholder sees and approves the transaction in the cardholder's currency, and in an amount identical to the amount for which he will be billed.

Abstract: An oxidation-catalytic separation device for removing oil and volatile organic components from pressurized gases of a compression system has, proceeding from the inflow side of a tank which contains an oxidation catalyst, at least two chambers with different diameters and/or lengths. In this way, the chambers can also be matched to the desired main functions with respect to geometrical conditions, especially a first chamber with a smaller diameter being intended for aerosol separation, and a second chamber of greater diameter being intended for residual vapor catalysis. Even for variably operated compression systems, the pressurized gases can be reliably purified using this oxidation-catalytic separation device such that the required and desired degree of purity of a high-quality pressurized gas is obtained.

Abstract: A light-weight garage door panel section for use in an articulated garage door assembly includes a rectangular face panel, a pair of elongated extruded upper and lower channel members which function as horizontal rail supports, and two or more stiles. The channel members are each formed so as to define a longitudinally extending retaining channel therein. The channels are preferably each delineated laterally by a pair of generally parallel spaced front and rear webs. The upper surface of the upper channel member includes a longitudinally extending, upwardly curving convex portion. The lower surface of the lower channel member is formed having a longitudinally extending, upwardly curving concave portion having substantially the same radius of curvature as the convex portion, such that the upper surface of one garage door section is adapted for mating engagement with the lower surface of a next immediately adjacent panel section positioned thereabove. In assembly, the retaining channels are provided in an opposed downwardly and upwardly open orientation, and the face panel is partially located therein to couple the face panel thereto, with the upper and lower channel members forming the upper and lower edges of each panel section.
Patent CA-2508711-A1 (CA)
Title: Alcohol beverage dispensing apparatus
Inventor: ANDERSON IAN
IPC: B67D1/08
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a conduit for conducting gasified liquid, which has a flow restrictor arranged in in-line relation therewith. The restrictor itself comprises an at least one aperture (although two or more can be used in series), with each such being adapted to pass the gasified liquid flowing through the conduit and across a pressure drop from a higher-pressure upstream side of the aperture to a lower-pressure downstream side of the aperture. The aperture is operable to moderate the rate of change in pressure over a transitional pressure drop to mitigate the formation of localized pressures below a critical pressure at which off-gassing from the carbonated liquid results in substantial foam formation. The conduit may take the form of a dispensing tube for use in dispensing an alcoholic beverage from a keg, the tube having a flexible wall deformable under the influence of a restricting actuator to control the partial collapse of the wall and thereby form the restrictor. The tube or flow diameter downstream of the restrictor only gradually or slowly increases.

Title: Coenzyme-binding glucose dehydrogenase
Inventor: YADA TAKAKO
IPC: C12N9/02
Filed: 2003-12-24
Abstract: It is intended to provide a microorganism-origin and soluble coenzyme-binding glucose dehydrogenase which catalyzes a reaction of oxidizing glucose in the presence of an electron receptor, acts on maltose only at a low ratio of 5% or less and is inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline. It is also intended to provide a process for producing the coenzyme-binding glucose dehydrogenase and a measurement method and a measurement reagent with the use of the coenzyme-binding glucose dehydrogenase. Thus, it becomes possible to apply the coenzyme-binding glucose dehydrogenase to industrial purposes. Moreover, the coenzyme-binding glucose dehydrogenase is usable in producing and analyzing substances including, for example, a method of measuring glucose in a sample, a method of removing the same and a process for producing an organic compound. Also, it becomes possible to provide a glucose sensor whereby blood glucose level can be accurately measured. That is to say, it becomes possible to provide a highly useful enzyme which is usable in modifying and processing materials in the fields of pharmacology, clinical medicine and food industry.

Title: Freeze-dried fibrin matrices and methods for preparation thereof
Inventor: GLADNIKOFF MICHA
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2004-01-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to porous freeze-dried fibrin matrices substantially devoid of external anti-fibrinolytic agents, and methods of producing said matrices. Resilient matrices, also known as sponges, that are particularly beneficial for supporting three dimensional cell growth are obtained from plasma proteins substantially devoid of plasminogen or from partially purified plasma proteins, thus obviating the need for exogenous anti-fibrinolytic agents. Furthermore, incorporation of glycosaminoglycans and bioactive agents during the formation of the matrix results in a sponge having advantageous biological, mechanical and physical properties. The compositions of the present invention are useful clinically, per se or as cell-bearing implants.

Title: An internet system for authenticating membership profile information
Inventor: ACKERMAN DAVID
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2004-04-16
Abstract: A system for verifying, authenticating, and processing membership information to generate a selectively approved searchable membership database, viewable through a computer information network, such as the internet. Membership verification includes a first processing unit (200) for transmitting data to a second processing unit (204) for verifying the information with a third party (212). A digital video lab (308) processes raw audio and video data provided by a member (304) to create a biometric file for authentication and to identify unique biometric identifiers on the raw audio and video data to create a searchable member profile. Upon member logon, each member passes biometric authentication via retinal scan, voice recognition, or the like. An interface module (120) may be used to record and deliver selected video on demand, live video, and display the video/audio files indexed with the biometric identifiers. A bandwidth scheduling module (130) improves video quality and a calendaring module creates and stores audit logs to improve member accountability and content control.
