Abstract: The present system is a payment network that implements an ecosystem in which banks can issue financial products (e.g. credit cards, debit cards, and the like) and customers are able to pay in any commerce without the need for card association networks. The streamlined nature of the system allows interchange fees to be substantially reduced over current systems. In addition, the system is all digital, so that physical security features are not required. The system provides an application for a customer that can be used on a mobile phone or other computing device, downloadable point-of-sale (POS) applications that can be used for commerce, and a web based POS application for commerce. The customer application includes a marketplace and an e-wallet in one embodiment. The customer can use the marketplace to acquire and link financial products produced by the banks with the customer's e-wallet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of electromechanical equipment for use in the vehicular field. More specifically, it relates to a selector, doser and transmitter of torque and power between one or more engines and one or more final transmission shafts. Applied for example on a vehicle without a gearbox, the new mechanism allows for selection of the ratio between the speed of rotation of one or more driving sources (such as an internal combustion engine drive shaft) and the final transmission shaft. In a preferred configuration, this selection is controlled electronically, managing the broad scope of possibilities provided by the mechanical configuration of this mechanism to dose the torque and power and regulate the rpm of the driving sources, in a hybrid motorization system.
