  • Publication number: 20210133731
    Abstract: According to one embodiments, an electronic money management system includes a fund charging controller and a deduction unit. The controller performs a control in a manner such that, if a transaction is made on a user's terminal through an electronic money service of a first country to charge a designated amount of funds in a currency of a second country the designated amount of funds in the currency of the second country is charged based on an exchange rate at time of the transaction. The currency of the second country differs from a currency of the first country. The deduction unit, if an electronic money service of the second country is used on the terminal, deduct an amount used from the currency of the second country charged by the controller.

  • Patent number: 10996328
    Abstract: A mainlobe detection process can include a number of tests that are performed to define when the monopulse antenna system will transition from open loop scanning to closed loop scanning and then to tracking. A hybrid tracking technique is also provided which adaptively discovers and corrects for phase alignment error. Magnitude-only tracking can be performed initially to locate the nulls in the azimuth and elevation ratios and to identify the magnitudes of these ratios at these nulls. Phase tracking can be then performed. During phase tracking, phase corrections can be repeatedly applied to the azimuth and elevation difference channels to correct any phase error that may exist. During this process, the magnitudes of the ratios can be used to determine how the phase corrections should be adjusted. Once the hybrid tracking process is complete, the monopulse antenna system is properly phase-aligned and phase tracking will be correctly employed.
