Abstract: A controlling device for use with an exterior landscape lighting assembly. The lighting assembly includes a transformer having an input line connected to an electrical power source. The transformer converts a primary electrical load to a secondary electrical load which is in turn outputted though an output line connecting to a plurality of individual lighting units. The controlling device is capable of being mounted at an appropriate location indoors or outdoors. An enclosure unit includes a power supply circuit, a switch, a relay and control circuitry. The power supply circuit converts the secondary transformer output to a filtered direct current suitable for powering the control circuitry. The control circuitry interfaces with remote momentary switches and alternately activates and deactivates the lighting units. The control circuitry further includes an optional receiver for wireless operation. The controlling device can be incorporated into the transformer assembly.

Abstract: A method of doing business can be provided in accordance with the present invention. The method of doing business can include converting credit card customers of a fuel service station to cash customers of the fuel service station by utilizing a biometric sensor at a POS location in the fuel service station to store biometric data for selected ones of the credit card customers. Subsequently, a fuel pump can be activated for each cash customer who submits to a biometric scan at the fuel pump and where the biometric scan produces data which when compared to the stored biometric data, qualifies the cash customer. Additionally, a purchase transaction can be consummated for dispensed fuel at the fuel pump by requiring the cash customer remit cash payment for the dispensed fuel at the POS location.
