Abstract: An invoice payment acceleration system includes a database stored on a computer readable medium including a plurality of records, each record corresponding to an invoice issued by a vendor for payment from a buyer. A network interface is configured to receive a payment initiation command from a buyer for payment of an invoice to a vendor by a first payment method. A processor is configured to analyze the invoice as to which the payment command is received to determine whether the invoice satisfies one or more predetermined criteria. The processor further is configured, when the processor determines that the invoice satisfies the one or more predetermined criteria, to convert the first payment method to a second payment method, and the second payment method provides for an accelerated payment as compared to the first payment method. The criteria for acceleration may include vendor preferences, and/or terms of a subscription service.

The printed circuit board being mounted in the housing. The housing includes vent openings disposed below the printed circuit board and vent openings disposed above the printed circuit board.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an interchangeable battery for a battery-operated electric tool with a contact arrangement which, in order to charge the battery cell or cells by means of a charger having open counter-contacts, has at least a first freely accessible contact area per contact by means of which the battery can be connected to the counter-contact of the charger, the interchangeable battery is constructed according to the invention in such a way that it can also be charged by means of a charger with a screened contact region in that either the contacts of the battery are contact pins or blades which can be inserted into a contact region screened as far as a closely restricted aperture of a charger with screened counter-contacts or the contacts of the battery have a region screened by a wall which has such a wall thickness that the contacts with the entire wall can be inserted into the screened contact region.

Abstract: A hammer drill has a housing and a spindle mounted on the housing for rotating and reciprocating longitudinal movement. The spindle has a leading end provided with an end portion extending outward through a hole in the housing, facing a wall to be drilled. The housing is provided with a motor rotating the spindle and a member which subjects the spindle, when the latter rotates, to reciprocating longitudinal movement.
