Title: Financial transaction processing system
Inventor: JONES JOHN A
IPC: G07G1/14
Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: The automated method of the present invention provides an efficient arrangement for setting certain financial transactions using a debit point of sale transaction network, as opposed to routing over a credit network. The method and arrangement uses an onsite database of bank identification numbers to conduct a preliminary assessment of whether a particular card is debit capable, and appropriately processes the transaction information based on the preliminary assessment. The system preferably is also updated when a financial transaction is successfully completed as a debit transaction which the database did not initially identify as being debit capable. In this way, the database is continuously updated and over time, a more accurate database is achieved. The system can also be networked, such that information between databases is shard and improved, based on the network experience.

Title: Method of detecting abnormalities in flow rate in pressure-type flow controller
Inventor: IDETA EIJI
IPC: G01F1/36
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A method checks the flow rate for abnormalities while controlling the flow rate of fluid in a pressure-type flow controller FCS using an orifice - the pressure-type flow controller wherein with the upstream pressure P1 maintained about two or more times higher than the downstream pressure P2, the downstream flow rate Q C is calculated by the equation Q C = KP1 (K: constant) and wherein the control valve CV is controlled on the basis of the difference signal Q Y between the calculated flow rate Q C and the set flow rate Q S. The method comprises, outputting a testing signal .DELTA.Qs having a testing amplitude Vo from a testing circuit provided separately or a flow rate setting circuit to the control valve CV, measuring the pressure amplitude V of the variable pressure .DELTA.P1 of the pressure P1 on the upstream side of the orifice that arises in response to actuation of the control valve CV and setting off an alarm for the clogging of the orifice when the pressure amplitude V is smaller than a limit amplitude Vt. If the testing signal .DELTA.Qs is superimposed on a steady-state set flow rate signal Qso and outputted to control the valve CV from the testing circuit or the flow rate setting circuit, the flow rate can be checked for abnormalities while controlling the flow rate by the steady-state set flow rate signal Qso.
