Patent number: 9165704Abstract: In a superconducting magnet apparatus, at least one superconducting winding and an outer vacuum chamber are provided. A thermal radiation shield is located between the superconducting winding and the outer vacuum chamber. A cryogen vessel is positioned within the thermal radiation shield and within the outer vacuum chamber. The superconducting winding is positioned outside of the cryogen vessel. A refrigerator is operable to cool the cryogen vessel to a liquid cryogen temperature and to cool the at least one thermal radiation shield to an intermediate temperature between the liquid cryogen temperature and a temperature of the outer vacuum chamber. A substantial portion of an outer surface of the cryogen vessel has a thermal emissivity at the liquid cryogen temperature which is greater than an average surface emissivity of the superconducting winding by at least 0.1.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Siemens PLCInventor: Russell Peter Gore

Publication number: 20130325720Abstract: An improved money transfer system. A rules database includes transaction rules that include an aggregation threshold. A customer database includes customers' transaction histories. A processing system receives transaction requests from points of entry and provides transaction responses. Based on information received in transaction requests, the processing system identifies customers and determines applicable transaction rules. An aggregation engine determines aggregation values as a function of customers' transaction histories. A transaction rules service determines whether information received in the transaction requests meets the applicable transaction rules and causes the aggregation engine to determine aggregation values if the applicable transaction rules include aggregation thresholds. Transaction responses are generated by the processing system in response to any aggregation values and other information.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2013Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: MoneyGram International, Inc.Inventors: Shannon Lee Bennett, Diana Chauvin, Billy Joe Steiger, JR., Dorilyn Lee Sletten, Peter Gore

Patent number: 8463702Abstract: A data processing system coupled to a rules database and a customer database is responsive to transaction requests representative of money transfers. The rules database includes information representative of transaction rules such as location-based rules, transaction type-based rules, customer-based rules, aggregated transaction value rules and currency exchange rules, at least some of which include an aggregation threshold. The system processes the transaction requests during transaction processing sessions to enable enforcement of governmental money transfer compliance requirements. Responses including requests for additional information, approvals and denials are provided by the system.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2011Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Moneygram International, Inc.Inventors: Shannon Lee Bennett, Diana Chauvin, Billy Joe Steiger, Jr., Dorilyn L.
