| 20090240592 | ELECTRONIC NETWORK ACCESS DEVICE - Methods and systems are described for processing transactions. The methods and systems enable a consumer to present a customer identifier, such as a merchant loyalty or membership card or other identifier as a payment device at a point of sale. In one implementation, a personal account number is generated by appending a proprietary routing code to a customer registration account number so that the personal account number is formatted for transmission as a payment device number over an electronic funds transfer network. In another implementation, the customer registration account number comprises the proprietary routing code. A preferred payment account identifier is accessed, based on the personal account number, from a database base, and a transaction approval message is constructed comprising the preferred payment account identifier. The account from which payment is made may be a credit account, a demand deposit account, a stored value account, or another kind of account. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20090037299 | Systems and methods for inventory level improvement - Methods and systems for inventory management are disclosed. In one embodiment, an inventory manager may use an inventory management system to perform an inventory management process. The inventory management process includes receiving inventory management data related to a service level, a supply chain response time, and demand, and determining a base inventory based on the supply chain response time the demand. The inventory management process further includes determining a variability inventory based on one or more variations in the supply chain response time and the demand and the service level, and providing a proper inventory level based on consideration of the base inventory and the variability inventory. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090083123 | Systems and methods for inventory level improvement by data simulation - Methods and systems for inventory management are disclosed. In one embodiment, an inventory manager may use an inventory management system to perform an inventory management process. The inventory management process includes generating inventory data points simulating a demand and a supply chain response time and providing an inventory diagram based on the simulated demand and supply chain response time.

| 20090031935 | Transplanter - Transplanter which can avoid skips when planting, which skips may occur when seeds in a tray row fail to grow into seedlings. This is accomplished by picking up an entire row of seedlings from a tray, transferring the seedlings to a mechanism which eliminates gaps between seedlings, and then discharging the seedlings one at time to the ground with a desired spacing between the seedlings. A novel tray indexing mechanism is provided which can index trays of varying sizes. The planting mechanism has an air knife mounted adjacent transfer disks for straightening out the foliage as stems of seedlings before they are received by the planting disks, and the planting and transfer disks may be moved towards and away from each other for seedlings of differing heights. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20090274137 | Method And System For Establishing A System Time Within A Mobile Ad Hoc Network - A mobile ad hoc network, a mobile ad hoc network node and a method for establishing a system time within a mobile ad hoc network are provided. The network nodes may include a global positioning system (GPS) receiver for receiving GPS signals and for providing a GPS time derived from the GPS signals. The GPS time may be employed by the network node as the system time. Even though the network nodes of a mobile ad hoc network independently determine the GPS time and, in turn, the system time, the system time will be common for each of the network nodes. Mobile ad hoc network nodes may therefore join and leave the mobile ad hoc network with each network node being able to determine the system time prior to its joinder based upon the GPS time provided by the respective GPS receiver. | 11-05-2009 |
