  • Publication number: 20240131448
    Abstract: A vapor separation system including a cooler having an inlet configured to receive an air-oil-water mixture, and an outlet configured to discharge separated oil and water in two different phases of matter. A first sensor is at the outlet of the cooler. A controller is communicatively coupled to the cooler, wherein the controller is configured to receive temperature feedback from the first sensor, and increase or reduce the amount of cooling, with the cooler and based on the temperature feedback, the oil-water mixture to a separation temperature configured to liquefy at least a portion of the oil in the air-oil-water mixture, while maintaining at least a portion of the water in the air-oil-water mixture in a vaporized state.

  • Patent number: 7577599
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing electronic payment transaction information. A transaction software engine operating in a server at a merchant's site effectuates the authorization of electronic payment requests and the settlement of authorized electronic payments. Authorization requests are sent by a terminal at the merchant's site to the server as each transaction occurs. Batches of settlement requests are processed after a predetermined time, although the transactions are processed on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The transaction software engine is capable of accepting data of varying formats and re-encoding such data so that it can be processed by a host associated with a data transaction provider. Accordingly, the transaction software engine processes data received from a variety of terminals as well as data sent to and received from a variety of data transaction providers.
