| 20120123932 | ROUTING FOR DIRECT TO ACCOUNT PAYMENTS - Various systems and methods are described for analyzing multiple money transfer routing schemes. Each of these multiple money transfer routing schemes may comprise a route to transmit funds from the source for the money transfer transaction to the destination for the money transfer transaction. An internal money transfer routing scheme may refer to a money transfer routing scheme that utilizes a direct money transfer arrangement between the destination of the money transfer transaction and the money transfer network. An external money transfer routing scheme may refer to a money transfer routing scheme that utilizes at least one third party money transfer network between the destination of the money transfer transaction and the money transfer network. The multiple money transfer routing schemes may be analyzed and the preferable money transfer routing scheme at least partially based on the predefined criterion from among the multiple money transfer routing schemes may be identified. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20100271477 | Spray Angle Measurement Apparatus and Method - Direction of material emitted from orifices is directly related to the effectiveness of spray devices to deliver the material to an intended location area. Improper emission direction results in material, such as medication, paint, or fuel, not reaching its intended target and causes cascading effects, such as improper patient dosing, compromised patient relief, waste, poor target coverage, missed target penetration, poor engine performance, and other safety/performance problems. An apparatus for inspecting operation of an orifice according to an example embodiment measures actual material emission direction relative to an expected material emission direction determined as a function of position and orientation of an orifice. The apparatus may confirm whether the emission direction is within an expected emission direction and accepted tolerance range. Through use of the apparatus, accurate screening of production products can be performed efficiently and manufacturing defects can be diagnosed and eliminated. | 10-28-2010 |
