Abstract: A fluid pump includes a motor disposed within an outer housing. The motor includes a stator and a rotor in electromagnetic communication with the stator. Windings are disposed on the stator that receive an electric current for defining the electromagnetic communication. A pump element is attached to the rotor via a drive shaft. The pump element operates with the rotor to deliver a fluid through a hydraulic fluid path. A plurality of sensors measure information related to at least one of the stator, the windings, the rotor, the pump element, the fluid and the hydraulic fluid path. A controller is in communication with the windings for delivering the electric current to the windings. The controller is also in communication with the plurality of sensors for measuring and recording the information and communicating this information to one of an external memory and an external controller.

Abstract: A system provides real-time financial valuation information for entities that process financial transactions across multiple currencies. The system includes one or more business location processing devices, one or more external data processing devices, and a central processing device that receives transaction data from the one or more business location processing devices.

Abstract: A system that provides business resource needs forecasts by use of a central server that receives real-time business resource needs data (e.g., financial data, staffing data, and inventory data, etc.) and external data (e.g., economic data, weather data, political data, etc.), wherein the server generates an alert based off a comparison of the various data received by the server.

Abstract: A pricing management system comprising a central processing device, a user device in communication with the central processing device, a business location processing device, and an external data processing device in communication with the central processing device. The user device provides the central processing device with a goal price for a product or service, the goal price being a numerical value in a first currency. The central processing device calculates a first price value for the product or service in the first currency. The central processing device authorizes the transaction for the product or service in the second currency at the first real-time local price when the first price value meets or exceeds a goal price and denies authorization and provides a second real-time local price to the business location processing device when the first price value is lower than the goal price.

Abstract: A system that provides business resource needs forecasts by use of a central server that receives real-time business resource needs data (e.g., financial data, staffing data, and inventory data, etc.) and external data (e.g., economic data, weather data, political data, etc.), wherein the server generates an alert based off a comparison of the various data received by the server.

Abstract: A system that provides real-time financial valuation information for entities that process financial transactions across multiple currencies, the system comprising a centralized server that receives transaction data from one or more business locations and external data sources (e.g., stock market data, etc.) wherein, in response to the receipt of the multiple sources of data, the centralized server generates and provides to end users through a graphical user interface at least one user option for viewing real-time, aggregated, modified data regarding the financial transactions across multiple currencies.

Abstract: A pricing management system comprising a centralized server that records goal price(s) for products and/or services in various currencies and then monitors the relative value of these prices in real-time in various currencies based off external data sources (e.g., FOREX data), wherein if a relative value of one currency changes an alert in generated by the system.
