IPC: G06Q20/10
Filed: 2000-04-06
Abstract: A technique is provided for paying bills electronically using data generated by any of multiple accounting software packages. The data generated by each accounting software package has a different structure. Respective rules associated with each accounting software package are stored. Structured data including data corresponding to a payee name; a payee address, an invoice number and an invoice amount generated by one of the accounting software packages is received. The data corresponding to the payee name, the payee address, the invoice number and the invoice amount is extracted from the received structured data by applying only the respective rules associated with the applicable accounting software package. The extracted data is mapped such that the extracted data corresponding to the payee name is identified as first type data, the extracted data corresponding to the payee address is identified as second type data, the extracted data corresponding to the invoice number is identified as third type data, and the extracted data corresponding to the invoice amount is identified as fourth type data. Representations of the extracted data corresponding to the payee name, the payee address, the invoice number, and the invoice amount are stored in a database at first, second, third and fourth locations, respectively, based upon the identified type of the particular data. The representations of the extracted data are read from the database and processed to electronically process payment of the invoice amount.

Patent CA-2308113-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLLIER KATHERINE D
IPC: C11D7/42
Filed: 1998-10-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne de nouvelles variantes de protéases obtenues à partir de séquences d'ADN de protéases naturelles ou de protéases non humaines recombinées. Les protéases variantes sont généralement obtenues par modification in vitro d'une séquence d'ADN précurseur codant pour la protéase naturelle ou recombinée en vue de produire la substitution de plusieurs résidus d'acides aminés dans la séquence d'acides aminés d'une protéase précurseur. L'invention concerne des variantes de protéase qui contiennent des substitutions d'acides aminés à une ou plusieurs positions de résidus, de sorte que la substitution modifie la charge à cette position pour la rendre plus négative ou moins positive par rapport à une protéase précurseur, et par conséquent la variante de protéase est plus efficace dans un système à faible concentration de détergent qu'une protéase précurseur.
