Title: Wireless number risk scores for use with mobile payments
Inventor: JOA DAVID
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2009-09-16
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for evaluating risk of nonpayment for mobile payments are disclosed. Wireless phone numbers 268 with associated customer history and account information are received and processed to generate a risk score 270 for the wireless phone number. The risk score is then incorporated into the transaction authorization process so as to evaluate the risk of default on the payment. The risk scores may be continually updated with new purchase and payment information. Authorization for a point of sale transaction may include evaluation of the mobile wireless risk score. A low wireless number risk score may result in authorization of the transaction. A high wireless number risk score may result in denial of the transaction.

Title: Extensometers
Inventor: HICKSON VICTOR MORANT
IPC: H01L27/00
Filed: 1967-03-03
Abstract: 1,173,956. Extensometers. MINISTER OF TECHNOLOGY. Feb. 16, 1968 [March 3, 1967], No. 10247/67. Headings G1M and G1S. [Also in Division G3] An extensometer comprises a valve housing 11 and a support 12 secured in spaced relationship to a structual member 16 and a valve closure member 13 which is moved, when fluid-pressure is applied to the housing, to define a leakage orifice in the housing, the area of the orifice depending on the distance between the housing and the support. Flanges 14 and 15 secure the housing 11 and the support 12 by adhesive to the structural member. Bushes 22, 23 of polytetrafluoroethylene are secured to the member 13 and a spring 24 biases the bushes into sealing engagement with the housing 11 and the support 12. When fluid under pressure is applied to the housing 11 via a pipe 17, the member 13 is deflected downwardly so that the bushes 22, 23 are separated from the housing 11 and the support 12, the lower end 21 of the member 13 engaging a sealing 26 of a bearing 25. The spherical upper end 20 of the member 13 in conjunction with a tapered hole 19 define the leakage orifice so that readings of the pressure on a gauge (not shown) attached to a pipe 18 indicate charges in the distance between the housing 11 and the support 12 during the period of the readings. Temperature compensation may be effected by including a fixed orifice in the pipe 18 and replacing the gauge by flow meters in the pipes 17 and 18 to measure the input and output flow rates.

Abstract: 912,837. Electrophotolithographic printing plates. PLASTIC COATING CORPORATION. March 25, 1959 [April 10, 1958], No. 10275/59. Drawings to Specification. Class 98 (2). [Also in Group XXXVI] A lithographic printing plate is made from an electrophotographic plate of a form suitable for attachment to the printing cylinder of a lithographic press by charging and exposing the plate in the normal way, developing the latent image using an hydrophobic oleophylic toner such as resin or wax, and rendering the untoned areas hydrophylic by treatment in acidified ferrocyanide solution. The electrophotographic plate consists of a sheet of paper carrying on one of its surfaces an electrically conductive layer, which in turn is coated with a finely divided photoconductive zinc oxide dispersed in an electrically insulating material. The paper sheet may be precoated with a clay-casein mixture. The electrically conductive layer may comprise a finely divided conductive solid dispersed in an insulating film forming matrix. Suitable conductive solids are copper, bronze, aluminium, zinc, litharge, stannic oxide, copper or silver sulphite, graphite and carbon black. A film forming material is selected which requires no plasticizer and is unaffected by any solvent used in applying the photoconductive coating. Cellulose acetobutyrate, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile copolymers, vinylidene chloride-vinylchloride copolymers, vinyl-chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, and copolyesters of ethylene terephthalate and ethylene selacate are suitable. The most suitable layer consists of 0.25-1.5 parts by weight of aluminium to 1 part of film forming material. The photoconductive zinc oxide is applied as a suspension in a solution of film-forming material in an organic solvent. Suitable film forming materials are silicone, polyvinyl chloride, phenolic, polyester and methacrylate resins, polystyrene, polyethylenes, styrenated alkyd resins, vinyl acetate-vinylchloride copolymer resins, styrene-butadiene copolymers, polymerized iso-butyl methacrylate, and copolymers of n-butyl methacrylate and iso-butyl methacrylate, 1 part by weight of any of which may be mixed with 2.6-4.5 parts of zinc oxide to form a preferred photoconductive layer. Specifications 912,833 and 912,836 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide
IPC: C01B15/03
Filed: 1936-04-09
Abstract: <PICT:0473343/III/1> In the distillation in stages of solutions of per-compounds &c. for the production of hydrogen peroxide, the stages are maintained at progressively decreasing pressure and the vapours of any stage are withdrawn and re-added in series to any succeeding stage.  The vapours preferably flow in counter current to the stream of liquid in the later stages and before being returned to any stage are partly stripped of hydrogen peroxide.  In a plant comprising three stages A, B, C, the vapours from the first stage flow through a pipe 6 to a column 7 for separating hydrogen peroxide therefrom before being returned to the second stage preferably after passing through a superheater 9.  The pressure difference between the stages is regulated by valves 5, 5<1>.  The vapours are similarly byepassed from the second stage through piping 11, a concentration column and superheater being provided if necessary.  The final vapours from the last stage are directed to a column 7<1> connected to a condenser 15 and pump 16, which maintains the last stage at the highest vacuum of the system.  The apparatus in each stage may comprise the usual vertical tubes for the downflowing liquid surrounded by a jacket containing steam.  A revolving heated drum may be used in the last stage.

Title: Improvements in the production of zirconium hydride
Inventor: MERTEN ULRICH
IPC: C01B6/02
Filed: 1959-03-26
Abstract: Zirconium or an alloy containing a major proportion of zirconium is hydrided by raising the temperature of the metal in a controlled atmosphere to at least 700 DEG C. and below the melting point, introducing H2, if necessary, to provide a hydrogen effective pressure not in excess of the dissociation pressure of the b -solid solution of zirconium, and cooling at a sufficiently slow rate to maintain the H2 effective pressure not in excess of the dissociation pressure.  The controlled atmosphere may be vacuum, e.g. a pressure not more than 1m  Hg. or an atmosphere of H2 and/or one, or more, inert gases.  The hydriding temperature may be 700-900 DEG C., and the pressure may be not more than 100 mm. Hg above the dissociation pressure, which will take into account the effect of contaminants, and provide an effective pressure not above the dissociation pressure, the dissociation pressure being determined from the accompanying Figures (not shown).  The hydriding may be effected on Zr or alloy formed, e.g. by drawing or rolling, into any size or shape, e.g. rod or plate, and a hydride, which may contain up to 1,9 or more atom ratio H:Zr, body is produced without cracking or distortion, provided allowance is made for expansion of the body in forming hydride.  Alloys may be Zr-U alloys containing up to 8% U. The surface of the metal body may be cleaned before hydriding by treating with an aqueous solution of a mixture of HNO3 and HF, washing with distilled water, and drying.  H2 before use should be purified by passing over activated charcoal at say -195 DEG C.  In a modification of the process, the hydriding is continued until the b -solid solution phase is saturated with hydrogen, the temperature is adjusted to 800-850 DEG C. and the H2 pressure is adjusted to 200-300 mm. above the dissociation pressure of the b -solid solution until further hydriding has occurred in the b  and d , or d  phase.
