IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 1990-02-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus concerning electronic financial 
transaction processing systems used by customers of 
certain credit or electronic banking card-issuing institutions 
are disclosed. The present invention involves two levels 
of secure interaction between the customer and the card-­
issuing institution. The first level of interaction 
involves the enrollment of a customer in the 
institution's electronic financial transaction 
processing system. The customer either selects or is 
issued a personal identification number and a card 
encoded with a personal key. The personal key and 
personal identification number are used to generate a 
PIN transmission number and personal verification 
number, which is stored in bank records. The second 
level of interaction involves the authorization of a 
customer's use of the electronic financial transaction 
processing system for executing an electronic 
transaction. The customer enters his personal 
identification number and the system reads his encoded 
card, both of which are used to generate a candidate PIN 
transmission number. The candidate PIN transmission 
number is transmitted to a remote processing center by 
computer network. The system, at the remote processing 
center, generates a candidate personal verification 
number using the transmitted candidate PIN transmission 
number and compares the candidate PIN transmission 
number for parity with a PIN transmission number stored 
in the institution's records.

Patent EP-0567999-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 1993-04-27
Abstract: The present invention describes a method and apparatus that forces all parts of an update transaction to commit automatically using a two-phase commit. The present invention uses the two-phase commit messages to negotiate a system commit number (SCN) that is then recorded on each of the nodes as the logical point in time that the distributed transaction committed. The two-phase commit scheme of the present invention consists of a "prepare" phase and a "commit" phase. The transaction in the distributed database environment involves multiple participants (107A,...,107N) (databases). In the prepare phase, one of the N database participants (107N) is selected as the "commit point". The commit point (107N) includes the log (106N) into which the information is written that states the transaction has committed. The remaining N - 1 participants (107A,...,107N-1) enter a "prepare phase." In the prepare phase, the prepare participants lock their databases (105A,...,105N-1) and enter a state in which they are ready to roll back or commit to the transaction. The mid-point of the two-phase commit is the point at which the commit point database (105N) (nth participant) writes the commit transaction to its log (106N). In the second phase, the remaining participants (107A,...,107N-1) are informed to commit the transaction and release locks that have been set. <IMAGE>

Title: Arrangement for removing infiltration water from gas collection wells in refuse dumps.
Inventor: HESS THOMAS DR
IPC: B09B1/00
Filed: 1993-08-23
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for removing infiltration water from gas collection wells in refuse dumps (landfill sites) with a wellhead, equipped with a drainage connection and a gas removal connection, the arrangement being designed to receive a drainage pump in the interior of the well. The invention combines the features   a) that a drainage-pump drive unit is arranged outside the well, remote from the gas-carrying parts of the arrangement, and thus outside the explosion-prone regions, b) that the drainage pump is arranged so as to be stationary in the well interior, however dismantling is possible at any time, c) the drainage pump and the drive-energy transmission devices between the drive unit and drainage pump are, in the regions in contact with the landfill gas, free of spark-generating parts.   In this arrangement, the drainage pump is preferably a jet pump known per se without moving metallic parts, which receives its drive energy, via a drive-flow line, from a remotely arranged drive-flow pump and removes the sucked-up landfill infiltration water and, if appropriate, condensation, via a drainage flow line. <IMAGE>

IPC: G01R19/00
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: A winner-take-all circuit for judging a channel
receiving an analog signal having the largest or smallest
value among multiple channels upon input of analog
signals. Each basic circuit includes a detecting unit
for comparing an input voltage with a reference voltage,
and a feedback current generating unit for outputting a
feedback current that determines a judging range in
response to an output voltage from the detecting unit.
The winner-take-all circuit also includes a tenth
transistor serving as a common transistor to all the
basic circuits. The tenth transistor secures, even when
an input voltage is small, a current that should flow
through a sixth transistor serially connected to the
seventh transistor that determines an amount of a
feedback current from the feedback current generating
circuit. As a result, even when there are fewer  k 
channels receiving input voltages having the highest
level and slightly lower ones compared with all the  n 
channels, a feedback current is secured in a sufficient
amount to vary the reference voltage. In addition, the
winner-take-all circuit of the present invention
comprises analog circuits, thereby making the structure
simpler compared with a counterpart that processes 
digital data.

Abstract: A method and ink-jet ink composition are provided for reducing crystallization
of Acid Yellow 23 anionic dye in ink-jet ink compositions printed on transparencies
and glossy media, both film- and paper-based. The method comprises formulating the
yellow ink-jet ink composition in accordance with at least one of the following three
conditions: (a) a first condition, wherein the yellow ink-jet ink composition includes
about 6 to 9 wt% ethylhydroxypropanediol, about 3 to 9 wt% 2-pyrrolidone, and
about 3 to 9 wt% diethylene glycol; (b) a second condition, wherein the vehicle of the
yellow ink-jet ink includes a buffer in amount sufficient to maintain the pH of the ink-jet
ink within the range of about 5 to 7; and (c) a third condition, wherein the cation of
the inorganic salt component of the ink-jet ink comprises calcium ions to the substantial
exclusion of magnesium ions. While any or all of the foregoing conditions may be
implemented to reduce crystallization in the yellow ink, a combination of the three is
particularly efficacious. A narrower embodiment also incorporates two alternative
techniques, namely reducing the dye load of the yellow ink to no more than about 3.5
wt% and increasing the thickness of the clear polymeric surface coating of the transparency
or glossy media to at least about 12 µm from its typical 10 µm. The solution
offered by the present method and ink-jet ink composition is easily and inexpensively
implemented and does not sacrifice overall print quality.
