  • Publication number: 20140114759
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a server, and a computer use an enhanced customer interaction channel based on a predetermined payment key associated with a specific company and location. The predetermined payment key uniquely identifies the specific company and location and enables the enhanced customer interaction channel based on existing payment processing systems. The specific company may use the enhanced customer interaction channel to reach customers who were previously unknown to the specific company for a variety of purposes such as rewards, coupons, offers, product information, and the like.

  • Patent number: 5113193
    Abstract: An airborne bistatic radar synchronization apparatus and process is presented which receives clutter point echo returns from the bistatic radar receiver on a penetrator aircraft, and determines therefrom the location of the illuminator aircraft without the need of receiving direct path signals from the radar transmitter on board the illuminator aircraft. Once the state of the illuminator aircraft (position and velocity) has been determined, the estimate of the illuminator state may be refined using direct path data. Finally, a target location algorithm is applied to bistatic target echo returns to calculate an equivalent monostatic range for a desired target, and provide an estimate of the location of the target.
