Abstract: A turbine engine fuel supply system includes a priority flow line, a plurality of secondary fuel loads, an electric fuel metering pump, and a mechanically-driven fuel pump. The priority flow line is used to supply fuel to one or more gas turbine engine fuel manifolds. The electric fuel metering pump has a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet, and is adapted to be selectively energized and, upon being energized, to draw fuel into its fuel inlet and discharge the fuel from its fuel outlet for supply to the priority flow line. The mechanically-driven fuel pump has a fuel inlet, and a fuel outlet that is in fluid communication with the electric fuel metering pump fuel inlet and the plurality of secondary fuel loads. As such, fuel may be supplied to the secondary fuel loads independent of the electric fuel metering pump, which advantageously reduces the electrical power consumption of the electric fuel metering pump.

Abstract: A method for facilitating sale of a loan by a seller to a purchaser where the seller and the purchaser have an agreement regarding the sale of loans including terms and the loan has a set of loan data. The method includes determining a price for the loan prior to selling the loan to the purchaser. The price is based on at least the set of loan data and the terms for the agreement. The method also includes applying a set of business rules to the set of loan data prior to selling the loan to the purchaser to identify compliance with terms of the agreement and/or errors in the loan data.

Abstract: An Internet-enabled interface for receiving commitments to sell mortgage loans. The interface includes a plurality of loan commitment input fields configured to receive loan commitment data. The data input fields include at least a loan type input field, a commitment amount input field, and a commitment period input field. The interface further includes at least one loan commitment output field including loan commitment price information; and a loan commitment transaction button configured to initiate automatic processing of the loan commitment data to create a loan commitment.

Abstract: An online loan delivery system for receiving delivery of a mortgage loan from a seller of the mortgage loan includes an Internet-enabled user interface permitting the seller to access the online delivery system by way of the Internet or an Intranet, the user interface configured to provide web pages to receive the loan data, to receive a request from the seller to submit the loan data for processing in accordance with a delivery process and to display a set of results from the delivery process. The system also includes delivery logic configured to receive at least the loan data from the user interface, to process the loan data in accordance with the delivery process and to provide results of the delivery process to the user interface.
