Abstract: A payment method for electronic transfers of money is disclosed wherein a payment facilitator is employed to identify payer and payee and provide instructions on payer's behalf to transfer funds from payer's account to payee's account. Either or both payer and payee may be members of the payment facilitator system so that their information is available to direct electronic transfer of funds in real-time from payer to payee. A third party member may act as agent for a non member payer or payee, thereby making it an open or closed loop system. Payment facilitator has security information of payer such as photographs and or bio-identifiers or information like answers to security questions, random number codes, or identifying images to secure access to payer's accounts. Payee is notified in real-time by payment facilitator if payment has been made so that goods or services may be released to payer.

Abstract: A remote ordering device having a two-way wireless communications input device with a display for sending and receiving data and a data receiving station to send and receive data, process orders and keep track of accounts, inventory and retain other data as required. The receiving station can be in communication with other receiving stations to forward orders or data. The receiving station can provide instructions to a person or machine to fill orders at any desired location. The remote ordering device can scan in checks or present an electronic version of a check to the data receiving station for payment through an automated clearing house. The two-way communications can be by cell phone through a telephone network alone or also through the internet to the data receiving station. The communications can also be through Wi-Fi and the internet and use a PDA or a computer for data input and reading.

A GPS, WAP or other location finding systems, may be used to identify the user's location. Bioelectronics, Caller I.D, pin numbers or other identification means can be used to verify the user for debiting accounts or credit cards. Users can remotely order tickets, meals, services, or control machines remotely and either arrange for pick up at a desired location or for delivery.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for the vaporization of liquid hydrocarbon fuel in a closed system prior to its entry into an internal combustion engine's combustion chambers in amounts proportional to the acceleration level of the engine. The apparatus is a fuel vaporizer interposed between an engine's fuel injection system and combustion chambers and forms a canister housing. Liquid fuel enters via an inlet in the housing, is vaporized by heating it to boiling and is drawn out of the canister via an outlet under a partial vacuum to the combustion chambers of the engine. The system is closed except for a vacuum connection with the engine's combustion chambers. Heating means are provided to heat the fuel to boiling without heating it to its flash point, thus avoiding its pre-ignition.

Abstract: A cell phone or other wireless telecommunications device is used to communicate with an ordering station over a cellular telephone communications network and telephone line. A coded item number can be entered and transmitted to the ordering station, which decodes the coded item number and enters the order into the point of sale system by a communications link. Further, data such as the identity of the user by physical characteristics, personal identification numbers, credit card or charge information, and location of the sender of the data can also be obtained from the wireless communications device and transmitted to the order station. In this manner remote ordering of goods or services can be communicated and transactions completed without having to be present at the sales point.

Abstract: A generalized remote ordering apparatus for customer and employee use within a restaurant, auto repair facility, retail store, grocery store, airport, or other service facility, to place orders, determine the status of orders, access information, and allow the customer to pay the bill for goods and/or services either by cash or credit card comprises an input device having a keypad, a credit/debit card reader, a first memory, a first processor, and a transmitter. The input device is adapted to communicate with an ordering station having a receiver tuned to the transmitter. A second processor, located in the ordering station, is adapted to decode information received from the transmitter through the receiver and produce decoded information. A display is also provided in the ordering station and is adapted to display the decoded information. The ordering station also includes a second memory adapted to store item numbers and prices.
