Patent CA-2462702-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANGLUM TIMOTHY J
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2002-10-01
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé d'identification d'un client lors d'une transaction commerciale en utilisant des informations moins que complètes, et sur une transaction d'achat au moyen d'une carte de crédit dont le nom (24) du client a été effacé. A cet effet on détermine la zone commerciale entourant un point de vente (20) en utilisant l'historique des ventes de ce même point. On utilise alors la zone commerciale pour restreindre la recherche d'une base de données (32) démographique et trouver une concordance (38) potentielle d'identité présentant des noms identiques ou similaires à celui (24) figurant sur la carte. Un générateur (40) de meilleure concordance crée un profil (150) d'acheteur potentiel des produits de la transaction. En utilisant des informations démographiques sur chaque identité de la liste des concordances potentielles d'identités, on compare chaque identité au profil (150) et on lui attribue une note (156). On peut également établir des notes en examinant les achats antérieurs ou le niveau de concordance du nom. La note la plus élevée est considéré comme étant la meilleure concordance (46), donc comme étant l'identité participant à la transaction. Finalement, la base de données du client est actualisée pour refléter cette conclusion.

Filed: 2004-04-07
Abstract: To provide a method of and an apparatus for continuously measuring elemental mercury and bivalent mercury both contained in a gaseous medium fractionally with a simplified structure, the concentration of a total mercury (Metallic Mercury + Bivalent Mercury) and the concentration of elemental mercury contained in gases are measured continuously and fractionally. In the practice of this mercury measuring method, a first column 1, filled with a first fixed catalyst, and a second column 11, filled with a second fixed catalyst, are fluid connected in parallel relation to each other. The gases G are introduced into those first and second columns 1 and 11. In the first column 1, the first fixed catalyst collects and removes the bivalent mercury, but passes only the elemental mercury in the gases through the first column. In the second column 11, the second fixed catalyst reduces the bivalent mercury into elemental mercury and passes through the second column 11 the elemental mercury in the gases containing the elemental mercury into which the bivalent mercury has been reduced. The concentration of the elemental mercury in the gases, from which the bivalent mercury has been removed after passage thereof through the first column 1 and, also, the concentration of the elemental mercury in the gases into which the bivalent mercury has been reduced after passage thereof through the second column 11 are measured as the concentration of the elemental mercury contained in sampled gases and as the concentration of the total mercury in the sampled gases, respectively by utilization of first and second mercury measuring instruments.

Title: System and method for verifying delivery and integrity of electronic messages
Inventor: TOMKOW TERRENCE A
IPC: G06Q50/30
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: A server receives a message from a sender and transmits the message through the Internet to a recipient. The server normally transmits the message in a first path through the Internet to the recipient. When the sender indicates at a particular position in the message that the message is registered, the server transmits the message in a second path through the Internet to the recipient. The sender can also provide additional indications in the message to have the server handle the message in other special ways not normally provided by the server. After learning from the receipt or the recipient's agent through the Internet that the message was successfully received, the server creates, and forwards to the sender, an electronic receipt. The receipt includes at least one, and preferably all: the message and any attachments, a delivery success/failure table listing the receipts, and the receipt times, of the message by the recipient's specific agents, and the failure of other agents of the recipient to receive the message and a digital signature of the message and attachments subsequently. By verifying that the digital signature on the sender's receipt matches the digital receipt at the server, the server can verify, without retaining the message, that the receipt is genuine and that the message is accurate.
