International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 35, 705 38

Abstract:

A system for facilitating payment of accounts payables from a foreign financial institution for a customer of a domestic financial institution, software, and methods are provided. The system includes a first financial institution computer positioned at a domestic financial institution site to define a domestic financial institution server, having memory associated therewith, and foreign exchange analyzing software stored in the memory of the domestic financial institution server to analyze a foreign exchange transaction. The system also includes an area network in communication with the server, and a second customer computer in communication with the area network, positioned remote from the server at a customer site, and positioned to transmit an accounts payable batch data file having a plurality of accounts payable to the foreign exchange analyzing software stored on the server.

US Classification:

705038000

Abstract:

An improved and automated ASP-delivered loan workout system, inclusive of communication architecture and software method that assists a user in improving the dialogue and counseling sessions between user, borrower, and other involved parties, and which increases loan servicer efficiency while decreasing the time and expense necessary to process loss mitigation cases-including identification of an appropriate financial workout solution, via the use of logical decision tree-based interviews-increases the rate of identification of viable loss mitigation options, and selects and manages the best loss mitigation solution, all in real-time, and within investor and lender requirements, within loan guarantor and insurer conditions, and in compliance with rapidly changing industry standards and government rules.

Appl. No.:

11/266447

Inventors:

Mark Friedman - Eldersburg MD, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

H03K 19/007

US Classification:

326014000

Abstract:

A method of operation and an apparatus for radiation hardening a combinational logic circuit are presented. A section of logic that is to be radiation hardened is identified. An entire logic circuit or a portion of the logic circuit may be radiation hardened. Once the section of logic is identified, a Field Effect Transistor (FET) is duplicated so as to create a voter FET. The voter FET is coupled with an original node (or signal) and a duplicated node (or signal). If a radiation event strikes either the original node or the duplicated node, the voter FET will prevent an upset from propagating to down stream logic by preventing a conduction path through the voter FET. Additionally, all of the circuitry that was duplicated in order to create the duplicated node may also undergo a radiation event without causing an upset to propagate to downstream logic.

International Classification:

F02C 700
F02C 916

US Classification:

60 3905

Abstract:

A process for maintaining or increasing the power output of a gas turbine is described in which the ambient temperature in the locus of the gas turbine is monitored. In response to an increase in ambient temperature above the design temperature of the turbine the air volumetric flow rate through the compressor is increased and water is added to the combustion chamber in an amount sufficient to increase the volumetric flow rate of the gases through the expander section to the volumetric flow rate limit of the section.
