Nov 18, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/283532

Inventors:

Wayne Joseph Martin - Coral Springs FL, US

Assignee:

First Data Corporation - Greenwood Village CO

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

705 35, 705 37, 705 39

Abstract:

Methods are provided for executing a money transfer from a first party to a second party. Customer instructions are received at a host system to stage the money transfer. The instructions include specification of an amount of money to be transferred, specification of a first currency in which the funds are to be provided by the first party, specification of a second currency different from the first currency in which the funds are to be received by the second party, and specification of a trigger currency exchange rate. Confirmation is received that the funds have been collected from the first party. A currency exchange rate between the first currency and the second currency is monitored. It is determined whether the monitored currency exchange rate is at least as favorable for the first party as the trigger currency exchange rate.

Assignee:

First Data Corporation - Englewood CO

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705039000, 705035000

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for executing a futures transaction for a customer. A record of a stored-value account is maintained on behalf of the customer at a host system. The record includes an identification of a level of value stored in the stored-value account. A request is received at the host system for approval for the customer to be a party to a contract having a defined future execution date or date range. The request specifies an amount of value due from the customer upon execution of the contract. An approval is recorded by modifying the record to include a specification of terms of the contract. A request for execution of the contract is received at the host system during the defined execution date or date range. The level of value stored in the stored-value account is reduced by the amount of value in response to receipt of the request for execution of the contract.

International Classification:

G08B 1314

US Classification:

340572

Abstract:

An apparatus for capturing data from indicia associated with an article and for deactivating an electronic article surveillance tag associated with the article comprising a housing defining a volume in which a bag can be placed for packaging the article, a scanner positioned adjacent the upper portion of the volume to capture data from the indicia associated with the article as the article is placed into the bag; and deactivation means positioned below the scanner to deactivate the electronic article surveillance tag when the article is in the bag.

Appl. No.:

6/635328

Inventors:

Walter L. Devensky - Boca Raton FL
Wayne H. Martin - Sunrise FL

Assignee:

Allied Corporation - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G08G 500
G06M 300

US Classification:

340947

Abstract:

A system to provide warning whenever unreliable data is being received by an airborne receiver for a microwave landing system. The received data is tested against certain criteria to determine validity. The received data is also tested to determine whether it was received via a direct path or via a multipath reflection. A validity counter records the percentage of valid data received. A multipath counter records the length of time data is received via direct path relative to the length of time data is received via multipath. Both counters control warning flags to cause a warning to be generated whenever the counter contents are below threshold values. The validity counter is set to an upper limit when its count crosses the threshold in a positive direction and is set to a negative limit when its count crosses the threshold in a negative direction. A constant number is added to the count of the multipath counter whenever its count crosses the threshold in a positive direction and the count is cleared completely whenever the count crosses the threshold in a negative direction.

Appl. No.:

8/859059

Inventors:

Wayne H. Martin - Boca Raton FL

Assignee:

Sensormatic Electronics Corporation - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

G08B 1314

US Classification:

3405723

Abstract:

A deactivation device for use in deactivating electronic article surveillance ("EAS") tags includes a deactivating coil having first and second coil parts. The first coil part is positioned in angular adjacent relation to the second coil part so that the coil parts are adapted to transmit simultaneously a deactivating field. The deactivating field forms a deactivation zone having a configuration which permits for deactivation of an active EAS tag when the active EAS tag is situated within the deactivation zone.
