Title: Notification system for card transactions
Inventor: CHRISTIE MARK
IPC: G07F7/08
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: A transaction notification system for alerting card holders when fraudulent use of a credit or debit card may be taking place. The notification system comprises a database of account identifiers each having an associated electronic notification address ( e.g. email, pager or mobile phone). When a transaction request occurs, e.g. at a point of sale terminal, transaction and account details are transmitted to the notification system, either by the point of sale terminal or via the credit card network. The notification system searches through the database of account identifiers in order to identify a match, the presence of which causes the transmission of a message including the transaction details (e.g. terminal location, transaction amount, transaction date/time, nature of goods, and contact telephone number) to the notification address, so that the card holder is alerted of the transaction and is able to contact the card issuer in the event of a fraudulent transaction.

Title: Design and evaluation of a lamp reflector
Inventor: NATSUME KAZUNORI
IPC: G02B5/10
Filed: 2001-01-18
Abstract: A computer aided design procedure for a faceted reflector 11 for use in a vehicle lamp 1 includes the step of displaying the basic developed shape for examination by the designer. The basic shape is developed using the space available in the vehicle as a constraint and radial cross-sections 20 are designed such that the intensity of light falling on each part of the curve from a light source in a defined position is constant when viewed along the viewing axis Ax. These cross sections 20 are used to build a contour-map 29 of closed curved lines which is viewed by the designer and rejected if any discontinuities 28a are visible. Once the basic profile has been accepted, faceted reflective surfaces 10 are developed over the surface to generate the appropriate reflected light path. The facets may be made convex, relative to a true paraboloid of revolution, in order to give a diffusing reflector. This diffusion effect may be in only one direction, with the lamp's lens 3 constructed to give diffusion in the perpendicular direction.

Title: Hardware controller
Inventor: JOHL MANRAI SINGH
IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: A method for replacing finite state machine hardware implementations of controllers and controller subcomponents with implementations based on manipulating contexts (304) stored within common data structures (1306, 1308, 1310, 1312, 1314), such as linked lists, and an outbound sequence manager subcomponent of a fibre channel interface controller implemented by this method. A state transition diagram is analyzed to define managers (1328, 1334, 1332, 1336, 1338, 1330) within the controller, along with commands received by, and generated by, each manager. Data structures (1306, 1308, 1310, 1312, 1314) are chosen for each manager to store contexts representing tasks currently operated on by the manager. An additional manger and interface are designed for a data-structure-manipulation manager (1316, 1318, 1320, 1322, 1324, 1326). Finally, the operations performed by the managers are defined and implemented, with sequencing of operations controlled by transfer of contexts between data structures by the data-structure-manipulation manager.

Title: Document scanner having scan carriage stowed in secure location for transit.
Inventor: GILPIN KENNETH J
IPC: H04N1/10
Filed: 2002-04-05
Abstract: A scanning device scan carriage 12 is located within a housing 18 and moveable along a displacement path. A carriage drive belt 40, having a belt tensioning system 44, moves the carriage 12 along the displacement path. When necessary, for example when the scanner device is to be transported or shipped, a control system acts to move the carriage 12 - via motor 42 - to a stowed position 48. The location of this stowed or secure position 48 is such that a force exerted on the carriage 12, along the displacement path, is not directed or transmitted to drive belt tensioning system 44. Specifically, in the stowed position 48, forces on carriage 12 are resisted respectively by (a) stop 54 and (b) the resistence offered by drive motor 42. Thus, when the carriage is stowed, the tensioning system 44 is effectively isolated from forces on the carriage 12.
