Abstract: Techniques for managing electronic payment instructions include providing a first bank with access to electronic payment instructions associated with a customer account of the first bank and providing a second bank with access to electronic payment instructions associated with a customer account of the second bank. An electronic payment instruction is received over a network from the customer of the first bank, the instruction is to pay, or receive payment from, the customer of the second bank. The electronic payment instruction is stored and sent to at least one of the first bank and the second bank to initiate payment between the customer account of the first bank and the customer account of the second bank.

Abstract: A system and method for engine idle speed control delay operation of a vehicle accessory (26) while introducing a stored torque disturbance profile corresponding to that vehicle accessory into a feedforward engine control system so as to minimize variation of engine idle speed. Torque disturbances resulting from operation of an alternator (32), power steering pump (28), or air conditioning compressor and blower (30) are characterized and stored in the memory of an electronic control module (22). When a request for operation of an accessory is detected, the stored profile is fed into the control system prior to actual operation of the accessory so as to reduce or eliminate control system response time. Control logic (22) also provides a learning function by modifying the stored profiles to accommodate changes in engine and accessory operation.
