    摘要: A system includes a processor and an external fuel indicator. The processor is configured to instruct powering of a digital display in response to detection that one or more power-up indicators has been satisfied. The processor is also configured to obtain fuel-related readings as a vehicle is fueled. Also, the processor is further configured to determine at least one fuel-related statistic other than a current fuel level. Further, the processor is configured to output the at least one fuel-related statistic to the external fuel indicator.

    摘要: A system for managing beverage sales and inventory, and for enabling customers to pour their own beverages while preventing shrinkage is disclosed. The system enables a user to access a beverage from a beverage dispenser by presenting a beverage-pour tracking device. The beverage dispenser can prevent a user from accessing the beverage without the beverage-pour tracking device. Further, the system can confirm whether the user is permitted to access the beverage dispenser before enabling the user to access the dispenser.

    摘要: A gasoline pump apparatus comprises one or more pump nozzles, a sensor configured to detect nozzle removal from and replacement to a nozzle storage bay, and a first housing enclosing at least some gas dispensing apparatus. In addition, a second housing encloses at least one video display and at least one video display controller. The at least one video display controller is coupled to the sensor such that the video display output changes with changes in nozzle position. In some embodiments, the second housing is configured to be explosion proof.

    摘要: The device is operable to activate, and maintain activated for a predetermined time period, a consumer-controlled apparatus, such as a goods dispensing apparatus. The device includes a selfcontained signalling unit in the form of a lightweight, easily portable, cassette type magnetic tape reproducing unit in which a tape is wound from a supply reel to a take-up reel responsive to actuation of a start button. A series of coded signals are recorded along a predetermined length of the tape and correspond to programmed information, and the tape may have two tracks. A respective pick-up or reading head is associated with each track and is connected to a respective radio signal transmitter. After the tape passes the reading heads, it passes beneath an erase head and a filter head which, respectively, erase the recorded information and erase all random noises and spurious signals. The radio signal transmitters are high frequency transmitters which are crystal controlled as to their respective frequencies, and the information from the reading heads is supplied as low frequency modulations to the transmitted high frequency signals. A receiving unit includes respective receivers each tuned to one of the two transmitters and each followed by a respective modulator and a respective selective filter. The currents from the two filters operate associated relays which are operable to close switches in an activating circuit for the controlled apparatus, and to maintain the switches closed as long as signals are received by the receiver.

    摘要: A system determines that a fuel dispensing operation may be anomalous. In response, the system accesses fuel inventory data that indicates fuel levels in a fuel tank within a threshold period. The system determines a measure amount of fuel that left the fuel tank based on the fuel inventory data. The system determines a calculated amount of dispensed fuel associated with one or more fuel dispensing operations within the threshold period. The system compares the measured amount of fuel that left the fuel tank with the calculated amount of dispensed fuel. The system determines that the measured amount of fuel that left the fuel tank is more than the calculated amount of dispensed fuel. In response, the system confirms that the fuel dispensing operation is anomalous and communicates an electronic signal to the fuel dispensing terminal that causes the fuel dispensing terminal to stop dispensing fuel.
