Abstract:

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for managing service provider loyalty programs. Loyalty program information associated with a service provider is generated. The loyalty program information defines a loyalty program. An electronic loyalty card based on the loyalty program is stored at the mobile device after enrollment of the mobile device. The loyalty program information associated with the loyalty card is enabled to be redeemed at a transaction location, and the loyalty program information is reconciled between the service provider and the mobile device.

International Classification:

F42C 500

US Classification:

102205

Abstract:

An improved flueric cartridge initiator (FCI) comprising a heat resistant or composite material resonance tube, a hardened high strength thermal disk and copper seals, in combination with an ignition train is made safe utilizing specific fluid dynamic phenomenon associated with the operation of the resonance tube. The present device uses simultaneous dual fluid inputs to create a Boolean AND logic element in order to reduce inadvertent firing functioning of the FCI.

Abstract:

There is disclosed improvements in oscillating reeds particularly for use in generating a sweeping or oscillating air flow pattern. The oscillating reeds of this invention are constituted by a plurality of spaced apart resilient reed elements which, preferably, are made from graphite fibers bonded together by an epoxy resin matrix reinforced by a scrim of fiber glass. To minimize the effect of torsion and/or forces which can cause the reed elements to buckle and hence create noise, a plurality of undulations are formed in the graphite strip. Thus, the oscillating reed according to the present invention offers the following four major advantages, (1) reduction in noise from buckling, (2) amplitude modulation, i. e. oscillation amplitude insensitivity to wide ranges of flow rates (3) easier starting of oscillation, and, (4) improved fatigue strength.

International Classification:

F15C 108

US Classification:

137829

Abstract:

A fluid flow control element is constituted by a fluidic amplifier having an interaction region shaped to provide side walls leading to a pair of fluid flow outlets. The fluid flow inlet for the fluidic amplifier has positioned adjacent thereto at least one control fluid passageway, and the flow of fluid to the outlet passages is controlled by at least one pivoted valve or flap element pivoted between two positions for controlling flow fluid from the fluid inlet to a selected one of a pair of fluid flow passageways or outlets. In the preferred embodiment the fluid flow inlet and outlet and the interaction chamber are such that the fluid pressure in the chamber is always above any pressure in the load passageways and fluid from the fluid flow inlet flows out from the chamber through the control passage. The pivoted valve or flap element, in the preferred embodiment is flat so that it is balanced relative to gravity as well as aerodynamically, so that it will not change position due to back pressures as when outlet passages or receivers are partially or completely blocked and does not cause any torque on the valve element about said pivot and hence will remain in the control position despite severe back loading. The invention is described in relation to a low pressure system, such as automobile air flow systems wherein a number of the unique aspects of the invention are utilized.
