Payment card preloaded with unique numbers

A conventional looking payment card comprises a plastic card with a legacy card reader compatible magnetic stripe for dynamic user account data. Internal to the plastic card, and behind the magnetic stripe, a number of fixed-position magnetic write heads allow the user account data to be modified autonomously. Electronics within the card are pre-loaded with many unique numbers that are selected for one-time use in financial transactions. A payment processing center keeps track of the unique numbers used, and knows which numbers to expect in future transactions. It will not authorize transaction requests if the unique number read during a magnetic card swipe is not as expected. A card-swipe detector embedded in the plastic card detects each use in a scanner, so changes can be made to the data bits sent to the write heads.

Programmable magnetic data storage card

A payment card comprises a plastic card with a magnetic stripe for user account data. Internal to the plastic card, and behind the magnetic stripe, a number of fixed-position magnetic write heads allow the user account data to be automatically modified. For example, a data field that counts the number of times the card has been scanned is incremented. A payment processing center keeps track of this usage-counter data field, and will not authorize transaction requests that come out of sequence. For example, as can occur from a magnetic clone of a card that has been skimmed and tried later. A card-swipe detector embedded in the plastic card detects each use in a scanner, and it signals an internal microcomputer which changes data bits sent to the write heads. Once scanned, the payment card can also disable any reading of the user account data for a short fixed period of time.

Combustion-engine air-intake ozone and air ion generator

An engine power booster comprises an electronic voltage generator that converts the direct current (DC) battery voltage of a vehicle at a power input, into an AC ripple voltage of 2.8-5.0 KV peak-to-peak at 2.4-14.0 KHz, that includes a DC voltage of 2.0-3.5. KV which are provided at an electrode output. A wire electrode is connected to the electrode output, and comprises a simple insulated stranded wire stripped bare at a distal end. A corona discharge generates ozone at the distal end during operation inside an internal combustion engine's air intake duct. Such ozone intake increases engine power and fuel efficiency.

Process for treating a sulfur-containing spent caustic refinery stream using a membrane electrolyzer powered by a fuel cell

A continuous method for the treatment of a spent aqueous caustic stream used to scrub a hydrocarbon process stream to remove oxidizable sulfur-containing compounds includes: a. mixing an oxidizing hypochlorous acid stream produced from an aqueous brine solution with the aqueous caustic stream to form a reactive mixed feedstream; b. contacting the reactive mixed feedstream with at least one catalyst to promote the oxidation of the sulfur-containing compounds and the neutralization of the sodium hydroxide; and c. recovering a neutral treated product stream comprising aqueous sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate and sodium chloride that is odorless, non-toxic and environmentally acceptable for discharge into the sea or into a conventional sewage treatment system. Preferably, the hypochlorous acid is produced by an electrolyzer that also produces a (1) hydrogen stream that is directed to a PEM fuel cell to generate at least a portion of the electrical power requirement of the electrolyzer, and (2) water that is combined with fresh sodium hydroxide from the electrolyzer to form a fresh caustic stream for use in scrubbing the hydrocarbon process stream.
