US Patent:

20110219801, Sep 15, 2011

Filed:

Mar 10, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/721184

Inventors:

Craig McKenzie - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

F25B 27/00

US Classification:

622351

Abstract:

A solar powered compressor and pump is disclosed having a trough-shaped parabolic reflector for heating a conduit of refrigerant as it passes through the system. The compressor/pump combination includes a lens that covers the reflector and insulates and protects the reflector from the elements while increasing the intensity of the sun's energy entering the reflector. The reflector converts the sun's energy into heat that superheats the refrigerant as it passes through the reflector, reducing or eliminating the amount of mechanical work that the system has to do to achieve the needed superheating stage.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/32
G06Q 20/40

US Classification:

235380

Abstract:

A method for verifying permission to use a payment system such as an electronic credit card, using a hand held communication device such as a smart phone, where the customer presents the communication device to a merchant who extracts account information from the hand held device, and the hand held device generates a transaction code that is shared with the merchant and sent by both to a financial institution. The financial institution sends a new random code to the user and the merchant, which can be compared to verify the user's account and the financial institution's approval of the transaction.
