Abstract: Account customized transaction vouchers, containing thereon a series of pseudo random alphanumeric characters with a different set of characters on each voucher, are completed by at least one party (20) to a transaction. The party transmits by facsimile (30) an image of the completed voucher to a facsimile machine (34) at a central facility (36). A character reader (35) at the central facility reads the incoming data and authorizes the requested transaction after comparison of the pseudo random alphanumeric set of characters on the voucher with a list in the account record of that party. Used sets of alphanumeric characters are deleted from the list in the account data to permit onetime usage of a voucher. A credit voucher is sent from the central facility to a facsimile machine (32) at the site of the other party (26) to the transaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for forming macrocomposite bodies. Particularly, a suitable matrix metal (33), typi­cally in a molten state, is in contact with a suitable mass of filler material or preform (31) located adjacent to, or in contact with, at least one second material in the presence of a suitable reactive atmosphere in an impermeable container (32), at least at some point during the process, which permits a reaction to occur between the re­active atmosphere and the molten matrix metal (33) and/or mass of filler material or preform (31) and/or impermeable container (32), thereby causing molten matrix metal (33) to infiltrate the mass of filler mate­rial or preform (31) due to, at least in part, the creation of a self-­generated vacuum. Such self-generated vacuum infiltration occurs with­out the application of any external pressure or vacuum. The molten matrix metal (33) infiltrates the mass of filler material or preform (31) to such an extent that the molten matrix metal (33) contacts at least a portion of the at least one second material. Upon cooling the matrix metal (33) to a temperature below the melting point of the ma­trix metal, a macrocomposite body is formed comprising a metal matrix composite body bonded to at least a portion of the at least one se­cond material.

Abstract: A system for separating a portion of a first gas from a gaseous feed comprising a mixture of gases that is intermittently supplied to said system. The system comprises a membrane gas separator having at least one membrane through which the first gas permeates preferentially in comparison to other gases contained in the mixture. The separator is adapted to produce a nonpermeate gaseous product which is discharged from a nonpermeate gas side of the separator and in which the concentration of said first gas is lower than in said feed mixture. The system also includes a mechanism for supplying a gaseous purge stream to the separator when the feed mixture is not being supplied to the system. The concentration of the first gas is lower in the gaseous purge stream than in the feed mixture to purge residual amounts of the first gas contained in the membrane of the separator. The method of separating gases from an intermittently supplied feed is also disclosed.
