  • Publication number: 20090048688
    Abstract: A method and system for monitoring electronic transactions, such as credit card transactions, to determine whether associated transaction costs, such as interchange fees, are being properly qualified. This is accomplished by monitoring for a “spike” in interchange qualifications and generating an alert when one or more spikes are detected. Spikes in interchange qualifications are defined as a variation in interchange qualifications compared with an historical level. The method and system may also monitor changes in cost or efficiency for other types of transactions in which the cost or efficiency of the transaction is based directly upon one or more variables.

  • Patent number: 5531106
    Abstract: A sample apparatus for a chromatogram utilizes a calibrated sample holding device such as a burette, having a liquid level sensor located at a selected height on the sample holding device. A pump is provided for transporting liquid to the sample holding device. A switch, which may be integrated with the liquid level sensor, connected to the pump such that when the selected liquid level is reached, the switch halts the flow of liquid to the sample holding device. Optionally, a second transport device provided for discharging the sample, with the second transport device utilizing an outlet valve responsive to a signal from a controller such that the sample holding device can be cyclically filled and emptied, in a sequence satisfactory to efficient operation of the chromatograph. Utilizing the apparatus of the invention, precise volumetric samples can be delivered to the device, to assure consistent analytical results from sample to sample.
