A system and method for selective processing of electronic payments such as rent, utility bill payments or debtor settlement payments is disclosed. Payer tenders an electronic payment through a web-based user interface and a notice is transmitted to Payee that funds are available for transfer if Payee chooses to accept the payment. Payee has the opportunity to manually review the details of the incoming payment and can choose to accept the payment, in which case, funds are transferred to Payee, or reject it, in which case the transfer of the funds is cancelled and no payment is made to the Payee. The Payee may also define a set of rules or conditions (including lower acceptance amount or partial conditions in case of negotiations), which would govern the automatic acceptance processing of the transaction.

Processing a two dimensional (2D) barcode using a mobile telecommunications terminal having an image scanner includes obtaining a scanned image of the 2D barcode from the image scanner, decoding the image to obtain data, including a web address, and associating an identifier with the decoded web address, such that the identifier is identifiable by a remote proxy server to obtain information relating to the use of the barcode. A browser of the mobile terminal transmits a web page request including the decoded web address and the identifier. The web page request may be identified as originating from a 2D barcode at a server in a mobile telecommunications network. The request is received from a mobile terminal, an inserted identifier is identified in the request, and a record is saved, the record including an identifier of the mobile terminal or a user of the mobile terminal and the web page address.

A method of formulating a nutritional supplement and related nutritional supplements are taught. The method involves the steps of identifying the target population, identifying the genetic haplogroups present in the target population, and then identifying the ancestral migratory pathways for each haplogroup present in the target population. After identification of the migratory pathways for each haplogroup present in the target population, the major geographic regions along each migratory pathway where the haplogroups spent significant time are identified. Based on the major geographic regions identified, natural whole foods indigenously present in major geographic regions are then identified and incorporated into a nutritional supplement.

Methods and apparatus for an improved automated version of a word game that incorporates game play methodology into a central controller and communicates game play information to the players through a game console that provides each player with an input pod for communication with the microprocessor. The microprocessor incorporates features including a timer, scoring system, random letter generator and a random element generator so as to increase ease of use and speed up game play. The microprocessor communicates information to the players through a variety of lights that are selectively illuminated as well as a self-contained speaker for communicating audible information to the players.

An improved candle restraining means where the candle restraining means is comprised of a generally flat, semi-flexible structure. The restraining means has a collar portion with an aperture to accept a candle shaft, and a generally horizontal portion that extends under, and is secured by, a closed window. The horizontal portion has an angled portion that is compressed against the horizontal portion when the device is in use, providing secure restraint for a candle on a window sill.

An improved headband provides adjustment to fit the shape and size of the wearer's head as well as stand-off from the inner surface of the helmet shell. When the wearer's head is fitted properly in the headband, the headband desirably resists displacement toward the helmet shell in all directions.
摘要:
The present invention is a gas turbine engine system containing a compressor stage, a pulse detonation stage, and a turbine stage. During operation of the engine system, compressed flow from the compressor stage is directed to at least one off-axis pulse detonation tube in the pulse detonation stage. The off-axis pulse detonation tube detonates a mixture containing the compressed flow and a fuel to create a detonation wave, which is routed to an inlet portion of a reverse flow turbine. The exhaust flow from the reverse flow turbine is then directed away from the engine through ducting.
