IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2001-01-19
Abstract: A fuel dispensing system (100 facilitates lottery ticket transactions in a fuelling
forecourt (110) by permitting the purchase of lottery tickets at a fuel dispenser (122). In
the system, customers pay for lottery tickets through the fuel dispenser payment acceptors
(318, 320) in conjunction with fuel purchases. The lottery ticket dispensers (324) may be
integrated within the individual fuel dispensers, or may be apart from the fuel dispensers.
Combining lottery ticket purchases with fuel purchases encourages the purchasing of fuel
and, additionally helps minimise in-store queues associated with lottery ticket purchasing.

Abstract: An unwanted peak occurring due to an antenna
sidelobe and an unwanted peak occurring due to a harmonic
are eliminated in a radar apparatus. A peak from a
target that can cause an unwanted peak is found based on
the intensity of the peak, and a search is made for a
peak having a predetermined positional relationship with
the thus found peak. If such a peak is located, then it
is determined whether the peak is a candidate for an
unwanted peak, based on the difference between the
intensity of the peak and the intensity of the main peak.
If both of the paired peaks are determined as being
candidates for unwanted peaks, it is determined that the
peaks are unwanted peaks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for accessing
secured electronic data. According to one aspect, an off-line access mechanism
in a client machine is activated to facilitate those users on the go to access
secured electronic data. When a user decides to be away from a network
premises or on a business trip, an off-line access request may be generated by
the off-line access mechanism and forwarded to a server. In response, the
server may grant the off-line access request to the user as well as the client
machine from which the user will access the secured electronic data off-line.
Depending on implementation, the access control may provide amended or
tentative access rules, access privileges or user keys that will automatically
expire when a predetermined time ends or become invalid the next time the
client machine is connected to the server.
