摘要:
A system and method for determining approval of a multi-currency transaction between a customer and a merchant over a network. The system includes a customer computer which is connected to a communication network, a merchant computer which is connected to the communication network, and a server connected to both the customer computer via the communication network and to the merchant computer via the communication network. The customer computer includes a first set of data which contains an amount the customer is willing to pay the merchant for a product in a first currency. The merchant computer includes a second set of data which contains a product price at which the merchant agrees to sell the product in a second currency. The server receives the first set of data and the second set of data. The server then converts the amount in the first currency into a converted amount in the second currency. The server approves the transaction if the converted amount in the second currency is within a risk range of the product price in the second currency in accordance with current exchange rates. Once the transaction is approved, the approving entity may settle the transaction at its discretion thereby bearing the risk associated with currency exchange. The parties, however, incur no risk. The customer will pay the amount in the first currency and the merchant will receive the price in the second currency. These are values known and agreed to by the parties at the time of the transaction.

User interfaces are described for modeling estimations of resource provisioning. An example user interface may request a display of graphical indicators associated with nodes and edges, request a determination of an indicator of a service node workload associated with a service node included in a workflow path based on attribute values associated with the service node and an indicator of a propagated workload, and request provisioning of service nodes onto hardware nodes. The nodes may include external invocation nodes, service nodes, and hardware nodes, and the edges may include node connectors. An indication of an arrangement of an external invocation node, a group of service nodes, a group of node connectors, and a group of hardware nodes may be received, wherein the arrangement may be configured by a user interacting with the displayed graphical indicators, and may represent a workflow path.

The invention provides a method and device for inducing a conditioned neural response in a subject. The method comprises detecting spike activity in a first neural site in the subject; and delivering a stimulus pulse to a second neural site in the subject. The stimulus pulse is delivered within the time window for synaptic strengthening following the detecting of a spike. These two steps, detection and stimulation, are repeated continuously, typically for a day or two. The conditioned neural response is induced when a pattern of neural activity evoked by stimulation at the first neural site emulates a pattern of neural activity evoked by stimulation at the second neural site. The conditioned neural response persists for an extended period of time.

The invention relates to a high-pressure discharge lamp of the ceramic metal halide type of the Philips MasterColor series having a molybdenum coil wrapped around the discharge vessel and at least a portion of the electrode feed through means, and having power ranges of about 150 W to about 1000 W. Such lamps are provided with a discharge vessel which encloses a discharge space. The discharge vessel has a ceramic wall and is closed by a ceramic plug. An electrode which is located inside the discharge space is connected to an electric conductor by way of a leadthrough element. The leadthrough element projects through the ceramic plug with a close fit and is connected thereto in a gastight manner by way of a sealing ceramic. The leadthrough element has a first part which is formed by a cermet at the area of the gastight connection. In addition, the lamps display one or more and most preferably all of the following properties: a CCT (correlated color temperature) of about 3800 to about 4500K, a CRI (color rendering index) of about 70 to about 95, a MPCD (mean perceptible color difference) of about +10, and a luminous efficacy up to about 85-95 lumens/watt, a lumen maintenance of >80%, color temperature shift

摘要:
A method for modulating plant growth is provided whereby seedlings that are grown in containers such as blocks are fertilized at lift. Prior to fertilization, the block, which has numerous plug cavities, is restrained. The seedlings, which are grown in plugs formed in plug cavities, are supported and a bore is drilled into the bottom of the plug. The bore extends to the top of the plug to produce a small port, which serves as a port for expulsion of air during the injection operation. The fertilizer is measured in a metering roller and is then pneumatically injected into the bore in the plug. Upon completion of the injection, the bore is closed to reduce the loss of fertilizer from the plug. The various operations may be automated or performed manually.
