Abstract: A telephone conferencing system includes a voice services equipment VSE (10)
allowing a number of telephone calls to be connected together to form a conferencing
function. Parties wishing to set up a conference agree on one of their telephone numbers
being designated as a "link number". The conference participants dial into the system,
firstly dialling a common service number and then the link number. The system stores
the link number in a link number store (20) when the first caller calls in. The system
also checks the caller's calling line identity CLI with the entered link number, and the
conference will not be enabled unless there is a match; thus the conference cannot be
initiated until the link number participant has called in. Any other participant calling
earlier can be put on "hold". 
     A number of different conferences may be taking place simultaneously, and
participants will be grouped together correctly in their conference in accordance with the
entered link number.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré consistant à appliquer des revêtements antiréfléchissants polymères sur des surfaces de substrat ainsi que les structures précurseurs ainsi obtenues. Les procédés consistent, de manière générale, à effectuer un dépôt chimique en phase vapeur à plasma amélioré (PECVD) d'un polymère sur les surfaces de substrat. Les monomères de départ idéaux sont le 4-fluorostyrène, le 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrène et l'allylpentafluorobenzène. Le PECVD consiste à soumettre les monomères à un courant électrique suffisant et à une pression suffisante de manière à sublimer les monomères afin d'obtenir une vapeur qui est transformée par la suite à l'état plasma par application d'un courant électrique. Les monomères vaporisés sont ensuite polymérisés sur une surface de substrat dans une chambre de dépôt. Les procédés de cette invention sont mises en oeuvre afin d'obtenir des revêtements très enrobants et antiréfléchissants sur des substrats à grande surface ayant des caractéristiques supersubmicroniques (0.25 µm au plus). Ainsi, il est possible d'effectuer un dépôt plus rapide que le dépôt chimique en phase vapeur habituel (CVD), les opérations s'effectuent dans le respect de l'environnement et s'avèrent économiques.

Title: Methods and systems for effecting payment card transactions
Inventor: BARRY GERARD J
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2003-07-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to card payment systems. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods for processing payment card transactions in a dynamic currency conversion and/or multi-currency scheme. To operate correctly, ghost transactions are used. However to prevent duplication of debits against the Card Holder, these "ghost copy" transactions must not be processed into the card schemes with the normal transactions. Thus the Acquirer's and/or third parties host systems have to be amended, in addition to modifications to the related accounting thereof. To overcome this necessity, the present invention provides a method for effecting the performance of a payment card transaction for a first transaction amount in a first currency, between a first merchant and a first payment card holder, the method comprising the steps of a)creating a first payment card transaction record between the first merchant and a second cardholder for the first transaction amount, b) creating a second payment card transaction record between a second merchant and the first cardholder, wherein the second transaction record identifies a second transaction amount in a second currency which equates to the first transaction amount converted into the second currency, and submitting the first transaction record and the second transaction record for processing as payment card transactions.

Abstract: A method of using an everting borehole liner to perform fluid conductivity measurements in materials surrounding a pipe, tube, or conduit, such as a borehole below the surface of the Earth. A flexible liner is everted (turned inside out) into the borehole with an internal pressurized fluid. As the liner displaces the ambient fluid in the borehole into the surrounding formation, the rate of descent of the liner is recorded. As the impermeable liner covers the flow paths in the wall of the hole, the descent rate slows. From the measured descent rate, the flow rates out discrete sections of the borehole are determined.
