Appl. No.:

10/867287

Tim Archer - Suwanee GA, US
Warren Gray - Sugar Hill GA, US
Warren Sutcliffe - Duluth GA, US
Xiaojing Sang - Roswell GA, US
Steve Jackson - Norcross GA, US

Assignee:

Varec, Inc. - Norcross GA

International Classification:

G06F011/30

US Classification:

702183000

Abstract:

A method and system integrates the monitoring of system components and detecting errors or potential problems (or both) in components of bulk fuel distribution facilities. Generally, the method and system includes a diagnostic support module for identifying what stand alone software modules, what fuel hardware, and what software interfaces/drivers associated with the fuel hardware are present in a bulk fuel distribution facility. After the diagnostic support module identifies the unique system components of a particular bulk fuel facility that can comprise software and fuel hardware, the diagnostic support module can perform system checks of the system components to determine if any system components are missing or if errors or potential problems (or any combination thereof) may exist in a particular bulk fuel distribution facility. The system checks performed by the diagnostic support module can include comparing information collected from the system components against a predetermined set of validation rules.

Assignee:

Elcon Instruments, Inc. - Norcross GA

International Classification:

H01R 900

US Classification:

364514

Abstract:

The present invention relates to an interface for a maintenance system used in conjunction with a process instrumentation system. More specifically, the invention relates to an interface used for maintaining and configuring smart devices. Even more specifically, the invention relates to an interface that may safely be used to maintain and configure smart devices where such smart devices are located in hazardous areas. The interface, which may be removably mounted to a termination board, has a control section, a port replacement section, a permanent storage section, a temporary storage section, an address/data bus, a UART, a standard clock pulse generation device, an option select device, a modem, a channel selection decoder, a wave shaping device, and at least one multiplexer. The interface and a termination board for use in process instrumentation systems that require intrinsic safety are explained by themselves and in system and function contexts.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/04

US Classification:

705 45

Abstract:

A system and corresponding method are provided. The system includes a plurality of first entities (such as banks), each first entity communicatively connected to at least one distributed traffic agent (DTA), a second entity (such as a central facility) communicatively connected to a DTA, and a communication network communicatively connecting the DTAs. A payload containing a data file (such as electronic check presentment data, electronic payment data, or any other data type) is communicated from one first entity to another through their respective DTAs via the communication network. In addition, a transmittal containing control information corresponding to the payload is communicated from the one first entity to the second entity through their respective DTAs via the communication network.
