摘要： A card processor, which is operative to process a card having a data recording portion and an erasable/rewritable display portion comprising a reversible thermosensitive recording material, is integrally arranged with fuel dispensing equipment such as a pump apparatus. The card processor and pump controller are arranged for communication with a network terminal that connects these devices to a communications network linked to entities such as banks and other interested vendor. A user-activated server provides a touchscreen interface to the card processor.

摘要： The fueling-station information-processing network (29) comprises one or more fuel-dispenser information-processing device(s) (10) that are mounted to one or more of the fuel-dispenser stations (1) and that perform the functions of controlling operation of the fuel-dispenser station and/or displaying information upon display screens for viewing by the customer. One or more of the fuel-dispenser information-processing device(s) of the fueling-station information-processing network are communicatively linked to a proxy server (14), which is communicatively linked, in turn, to a host server.

摘要： A central system controller (12) located at a remote service facility performs the centralized processing of the various refueling transaction requests originating from a network of service station sites (14). The transaction request is transmitted by the customer from a vehicle RF transceiver to a dispenser equipped RF transceiver where it is rerouted through an on-site dedicated controller to the central system controller (12) over a long-haul communications link. The central system controller (12) processes the transaction and directs the dedicated controller to render operative control of the fuel dispenser and an associated hydraulic arm assembly that selectively maneuvers the nozzle assembly into fueling engagement with the vehicle in an automated fashion. The central system controller is connected to other commercial retailers such as online merchants to permit the customer to request additional transactions unrelated to the refueling activity.

摘要： A point of sale system (10) of the present invention for use with a fuel dispensing system (14) includes a controller (32) for communicating with the fuel dispensing system (14), a graphic user interface (1000, 1100, 1200) having a plurality of manually actuable areas (1202, 1204, 1206), each of which produces a selection signal (82) when touched by the user, and a computer (26) including a program (60, 68) which enables the computer (26) to operate the fuel dispensing system (14) and generate graphic icons (1104, 1114, 1108) corresponding to system operations for display on the graphic user interface (1000, 1100, 1200) over the manually actuable areas (1202, 1204, 1206). The program (60, 68) also enables the computer (26) to execute system operations in response to the selection signals (82) produced by the manually actuable areas (1202, 1204, 1206).

摘要： An apparatus for and method of calibrating a fluid meter (20) having an output transformable into a series of digital pulses, where each pulse represents a certain volume of liquid through the meter that changes as a result of meter wear and/or component failure. A microprocessor (34) controlled bidirectional prover tube (36) having a calibrated volume is provided in the dispenser housing for operation once during each of a predetermined number of dispensing events. The digital pulses are accumulated during dispensation of the calibrated volume of fluid through the prover, and a calibration factor is automatically calculated and applied to the digital pulses prior to being supplied to an electronic display unit (26) for accurate computation and display of the volume of liquid through the meter. A four-port, two-position valve (40) is actuated prior to the beginning of each dispensing event by the microprocessor (34) to reverse flow through the prover tube (36).

摘要： An Internet-enabled fuel dispenser includes a card reader (64) adapted to retrieve a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) data element encoded on a card-type device (66) furnished by the customer. The URL data element defines the Internet address of a server (60) that hosts an e-mail messaging account preferably belonging to the customer. A client machine (52) at the dispenser position accesses the server (60) specified by the retrieved URL data element and receives the e-mail messages downloaded by the server in response to the e-mail request. The customer views the downloaded e-mail messages on a display (12, 62) installed at the dispenser position. The dispenser position is provided with a suitable connection facility to make a networked connection to the Internet (14), which preferably includes the World Wide Web (56).

摘要： An octane sensitive blending dispenser (10) for fluids, particularly for fuel dispensers. The dispenser (10) controls component pumps (18, 20) according to octane data measured by octane meters (14, 16). In one form of the invention octane measurements are taken within the input lines connected to the dispenser (10) from fluid storage tanks (27, 28). Control of the component pumps (18, 20) is accomplished by determining the difference between the observed blend octane and adjusting the pumps (18, 20) so as to more closely blend the desired fluid.

摘要： Flexible conduit tubing used throughout a fuel dispenser (36). Flexible conduit separately houses wiring and supplies fuel for the operation of the dispenser (36). The ends of individual segments of the flexible conduit tubing contain fittings (11), which allow easy connection and disconnection with another conduit segment or other dispenser components.
