A method and system for the issuance of Instant Credit has an Instant Credit engine that performs instantaneous analysis. The method and system can operate along side existing “batch” processes. In addition, the method and system offer various channels of distribution for the Instant Credit products. With the present invention, Instant Credit and other Instant services (e.g., instant account balance transfers, etc.) can be obtained via, Internet, point-of-sale and other distribution channels. The present system also enables highly dynamic product offerings, which can be generated “instantaneously” based on a variety of factors, such as, for example, the channels of distribution (e.g., telephone or Internet), the product sought and/or even the particular individual and/or entity that is applying for a line of credit.

A defect management enabled PIRM including a data storage medium providing a plurality of cross point data storage arrays. Each array provides a plurality of memory cells. The arrays are allocated into separate super arrays, the separate super arrays virtually aligned as sets. A controller is also provided, capable of establishing the selection of a virtually aligned set of arrays and a virtually aligned set of memory cells. The controller is operable during a write operation to receive a word of data bits and detect a defective array in the selected virtually aligned set of memory arrays. The controller is further capable of directing the allocation of at least one data bit from the defective memory array to a spare memory array.

A method for operating the LOMI decontamination process in a regenerative manner. The method incorporates an initial injection of a dilute LOMI solution (vanadous formate, picolinic acid and sodium hydroxide) into a decontamination circuit followed by operation of a small cluster of cation exchange columns during the decontamination process. The cation exchange resin is used to remove metals in the same manner as in prior decontamination processes but operation of the cation exchange resin is continued to allow picolinic acid initially bound to the cation exchange resin to be released and recycled to the LOMI solution. Operation of the cation exchange columns ceases after the picolinic acid has been released but before the metals (e.g. sodium, iron and vanadium) are released back to the LOMI solution. The cluster of cation exchange columns are operated according to a sequence wherein one column is releasing picolinic acid while another is binding picolinic acid. The method further includes continuous additions of vanadous formate and sodium hydroxide. Clean-up at the end of the method proceeds in the normal manner wherein larger cation and anion exchange columns are utilized. Because the concentration of the components is much lower than conventional LOMI processes, however, the amount of cation exchange resin required at this stage is greatly reduced.

A visual locating device comprises an elongate, inherently buoyant, flexible sheet for floating on the surface of a body of water that has a longitudinal axis. At least three buoyant support struts are secured to the sheet and disposed across the longitudinal axis of the sheet such that the sheet is divided into a plurality of sections defined between respective pairs of struts. A light source is disposed on the sheet to provide nighttime visibility to the sheet. A pouch, which receives the sheet when stowed, is configured to release the sheet when immersed in water. The sheet is at least z-folded inside the pouch.

A data storage system that is adapted for storing image data in digital cameras comprises a temporary data storage circuit coupled, in use, to receive image data from the camera, and a permanent data storage circuit coupled, in use, to receive image data from the temporary data storage circuit. A control circuit is coupled to the temporary data storage circuit and the permanent data storage circuit to effect transfer of image data from the temporary data storage circuit to the permanent data storage circuit upon occurrence of a predetermined event. The permanent data storage circuit may be in the form of a write-once non-volatile memory module, which is replaceable in the storage system. The temporary data storage circuit can be a RAM or Flash memory that temporarily stores a image data from the camera when a picture is taken. Then, the user may review the picture before it is permanently stored upon the occurrence of the predetermined event. The predetermined event may comprise, for example, another picture being taken, removal of power (e.g. turning the camera off), or expiration of a preset time period.

A memory circuit includes a cross-point memory array having first and second sets of transverse electrodes with respective memory elements formed at the crossing-points of the first and second set electrodes. Each of the memory elements is formed to include, in at least one of its binary states, a diode element. The memory circuit also includes an addressing circuit coupled to the memory array. The addressing circuit has a first set of address lines with first diode connections between the first set address lines and the first set memory array electrodes, with the first diode connections coupling each memory array electrode in the first set to a respective unique subset of the first set address lines. The addressing circuit also has a second set of address lines with second diode connections between the second set address lines and the second set memory array electrodes, with the second diode connections coupling each memory array electrode in the second set to a respective unique subset of the second set address lines. The addressing circuit further includes at least one sense line with diode connections to each of the first set memory array electrodes and/or the second set memory array electrodes. A plurality of the memory circuits can be provided with the address lines coupled for parallel addressing, and the addressed memory element from each memory array is accessible for reading/writing using the respective sense line(s).

摘要:
A decontamination system uses magnetic molecules having ferritin cores to selectively remove target contaminant ions from a solution. The magnetic molecules are based upon a ferritin protein structure and have a very small magnetic ferritin core and a selective ion exchange function attached to its surface. Various types of ion exchange functions can be attached to the magnetic molecules, each of which is designed to remove a specific contaminant such as radioactive ions. The ion exchange functions allow the magnetic molecules to selectively absorb the contaminant ions from a solution while being inert to other non-target ions. The magnetic properties of the magnetic molecule allow the magnetic molecules and the absorbed contaminant ions to be removed from solution by magnetic filtration.
