Patent EP-2006699-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HONDA TOSHITAKA
IPC: H01T13/60
Filed: 2008-05-13
Abstract: There is provided a test method for detecting the presence or absence of a defect in a spark plug insulator, including a reference voltage determination process, a test area determination process, a test voltage determination process and a current detection process. In the reference voltage determination process, a reference voltage V F  is determined. In the test area and voltage determined processes, test area and voltage are determined so as not to incur a flashover on the basis of a reference insulator of the same material, shape and size as the spark plug insulator when the reference insulator is placed in position between first and second test electrodes. In the current detection step, the test voltage is applied between the first and second test electrodes to detect an electric current between the first and second test electrodes.

Abstract: Methods and systems for making a financial payment to a payee via a stored value (SV) card utilizing a mobile device such as a mobile telephone (cellphone) or wireless connected personal digital assistant (PDA). The mobile device communicates wirelessly with a mobile financial transaction system (MFTS) that stores user information and transaction information. A user enters information via the mobile device identifying a payee and indicating a stored value card payment method. The mobile device generates a mobile payment instruction that includes information corresponding to the identified payee and indicating a stored value card payment method. The mobile payment instruction is wirelessly communicated to the MFTS. The MFTS generates an MFTS payment instruction to a payment instruction recipient that can issue a new stored value card and/or reload funds onto a pre-existing stored value card. The MFTS communicates the MFTS payment instruction to the payment instruction recipient, which arranges for payment to the identified payee by issuing a new stored value card or reloading funds onto a pre-existing stored value card.
