Publication number: 20230053007Abstract: Method and system of performing transactions with a payment card in a managed integrated payment environment comprising an integrated circuit are disclosed comprising interacting with an integrated circuit on a received payment card to obtain card data by a payment terminal and determining whether full online transaction processing of the card data is required. If full online transaction processing of the card data is required, the card data is sent to a point-of-sale terminal, which sends the card data and a transaction total for the transaction to a merchant gateway, which obtains approval or denial of the transaction. The approval or denial is provided to the PIN pad by the merchant gateway via the point-of-service terminal. The PIN pad also receives transaction data and sends the transaction data and card data to a services processor to collect metadata, perform fraud and security checks, and/or encrypt the card data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Jonathan Wall, Ross Favero, Eric Nelson Glass, Joseph R.

Publication number: 20230010497Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell configured to produce electrical power by a chemical reaction of a flow of fuel and a flow of oxygen or air with an electrolyte and a cooling system configured to remove thermal energy from the fuel cell via a flow of coolant through the fuel cell. The fuel cell system includes one or more conductivity sensors configured to measure a change in conductivity of the coolant flow. A method of operating a fuel cell system includes producing electrical power at a fuel cell by a chemical reaction of a flow of fuel and a flow of air with an electrolyte, urging a flow of coolant through the fuel cell to remove thermal energy and ions from the fuel cell, and measuring a conductivity of the flow of coolant via one or more conductivity sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2021Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventors: Eric A. Nelson, Eric A. Rohrbach, Nicholas Edward Osepowicz, Adam Hathaway

Publication number: 20220398584Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method of performing a payment transaction comprising receiving transaction data by a PIN pad terminal from a point-of-sale terminal, and receiving tender from a customer, by the PIN pad terminal. Tender data and the transaction data are sent to a service gateway, by the PIN pad terminal. The service gateway collects metadata from the tender data and the transaction data. The tender data is sent by the PIN pad terminal to the point-of-sale terminal, which sends the tender data and the transaction data to a merchant gateway for approval or denial of the tender data. The tender data sent to the POS may be encrypted. The service gateway may provide customer and merchant analytics based on the metadata, as well as perform security/fraud checks, BIN management, PIN pad management. Systems are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Jonathan Wall, Ross Favero, Eric Nelson Glass
