Abstract: In a system where a merchant conducts transactions on behalf of more than one entity, a method is provided for dynamically selecting a merchant account name. A merchant acting on behalf of a business entity conducts a transaction with a cardholder. An acquirer receives information for processing the financial card transaction. The acquirer generates a merchant account name that identifies the entity for which the merchant is conducting the transaction. The merchant account name is specified based on transmittal information and the merchant account name is associated with the transaction.

Abstract: Methods of conducting an electronic financial transaction using ambiguous transaction devices. A merchant conducts a transaction with a payer using an ambiguous transaction device, such as a cellular phone. The ambiguous device transmits a transaction request, which includes transaction data and merchant identifying information, over a network to an acquiring bank. The ambiguous device generates the transaction request by accessing merchant identifying information that is stored separately from the ambiguous device in, for example, a stripe of a financial card or a SIM card. The merchant account of the merchant is portable in the sense that the merchant can use multiple ambiguous transaction devices to initiate transactions by causing the selected transaction device to have access to the separately stored merchant identifying information. The acquiring bank, upon receiving the transaction request, initiates authorization of the requested transaction and execution thereof.

Abstract: An offset RF interconnect structure for interconnecting an active array radiating aperture to a transmit/receive (T/R) module sub-array, wherein the corresponding input/output (I/O) ports lie on different lattices. The interconnect structure employs dielectric-filled slabline transmission line, which includes a center conductor wire conductor bent to form the offset interconnection between two ports misaligned in two dimensions. The structure includes a dielectric housing that is formed by injection molding about the center slabline wire conductor. The offset interconnect structure can be integrated with an in-line coaxial interconnect structure.
