Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing economic nexus determination by a transaction processing system. The method may include accessing a plurality of transactions associated with a plurality of merchant systems processed by the transaction processing system over a period of time. The method may also include inferring a geographic location, from among a plurality of geographic locations, for each of the plurality of transactions based on one or more transaction parameters. Then, the method may include aggregating a total revenue per geographic location per merchant system based on the inference of geographic location determined from the one or more transaction parameters. For a merchant and for a geographic location for which said merchant has location based revenue within the geographic location, the method may include applying an economic nexus rule corresponding to the geographic location, and determining when the economic nexus rule corresponding to the geographic location is satisfied.

Abstract: A crop handling apparatus comprises a mobile chassis. The chassis is mounted on ground-engaging wheels. A tow-bar is provided at a front of the chassis for releasable attachment to a towing vehicle such as a tractor. A crop conditioning rotor is mounted on the chassis and has a plurality of outwardly projecting radial tines. Drive for the crop conditioning rotor can be by way of a drive transmission on the chassis which connects via a drive input with a PTO shaft on a tractor behind which the crop handling apparatus is drawn in use. A crop gathering conveyor is mounted on the chassis in front of the crop conditioning rotor. The crop gathering conveyor has a discharge end located in front of an inlet of the crop conditioning rotor to feed crop material to the inlet of the crop conditioning rotor in use.

Abstract: Provided are methods for reducing the occurrence of sudden death syndrome in plants, such as soybeans, using compounds of the general formula (I).

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for performing, verifying, and managing testing of backflow preventers. A method can include aspects directed toward confirming proper performance of tests on a backflow preventer by interrogating an inspector's location and credentials before producing test results. Systems are described to perform aspects of such methods. Further, a mobile device is provided for use by an inspector, the mobile device being directed toward confirming proper performance of tests on a backflow preventer. Aspects can also relate to the management of data related to the tests and backflow preventers.

Abstract: A roaming gateway has at least one IP network interface, and at least one cellular network interface, and inter-working functions for inter-working between a wireless IP network and a cellular network. The inter-working functions communicate with user devices in an IP network according to a machine-level subscribe-and-notify event package protocol for managing handover of mobile devices roaming between IP and cellular networks. They also poll a cellular network for subscriber status on that cellular network in the absence of a mobility event package. The inter-working functions comprise HSS functionality programmed to access data on a HLR of a cellular network and to perform HSS operations using said data. The gateway applies routing policies specific to call types, allowing or disallowing the anchoring of calls originating in either an IP network or a cellular network based on number prefixes. The inter-working functions comprise an application server programmed to communicate with a user device as a client.

Abstract: An odour sensor utilises an amine or an aldehyde dispersed in a polymer film to detect a vapour phase aldehyde or amine respectively. The amine and aldehyde react to form fluorescent reaction product which is detected by measuring the fluorescence emitted after irradiating the sensor element with UV light. The sensor contains a camera and a programmed cpu to analyse the fluorescence to determine the identity of the vapour phase molecule and its concentration.
