Patent number: 8311944Abstract: A transaction process system (10) provides for data transactions between parties. In a credit card transaction, the parties are the merchant (20), acquiring bank (24), card association (34), issuing bank (14), and cardholder (12). A transaction processing center (30) is positioned between the acquiring bank and the card association. The transaction processing center provides data processing channels for message-based processing (72) and filed-based processing (76). The file-based processing uses an incoming queue (80) and outgoing queue (84) to simplify the interface. The transaction processing center also provides for currency conversions and account reconciliation on a per transaction basis. The transaction processing center uses a scheduler (160) to efficiently manage the data processing resources.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Mtrex, Inc.Inventors: W. Jeffrey Knowles, Russell Hales Day, David J. Matthews, Jeffrey R. Burke, Scott E. Wessman, A. Carlo Okowitz, Joseph B. Emig

Patent number: 6005433Abstract: When turned on by an input CONTROL signal, a MOSFET transistor switch in accordance with the present invention connects a low impedance voltage source to a moderate to high impedance load. The switch includes a relatively large first MOSFET transistor (Q1), a smaller second MOSFET transistor (Q2), a resistor and a current source. Source terminals of transistors Q1 and Q2 are tied to the voltage source. The load is connected to the drain of Q1 while the current source is connected to the drain of the Q2 and also to the gates of both transistors Q1 and Q2. The resistor links the gates of transistors Q1 and Q2 to the voltage source. When the CONTROL signal is asserted, it turns on the current source, thereby quickly turning transistors Q1 and Q2 on to connect the voltage source to the load. When the control source is de-asserted, the current source turns off. Transistors Q1 and Q2 then turn off at a controlled rate in order to minimize current injection into the load.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1998Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Credence Systems CorporationInventor: Robert Russell Hale
