A system for and methods of processing non-traditional payment transactions on a traditional payment network is disclosed. More specifically, a payments system includes one or more payment program managers (PPMs), which are the providers of alternative payment products, in combination with one or more payment program processors (PPPs), which serve as processors for the PPMs. The PPMs and PPPs operate on a payment network, such as a traditional payment network. The payments system includes the utilization of traditional bank identification numbers (BINS) in order to process non-traditional transactions on a traditional payment network. Surrogate numbers are issued on BIN ranges to the non-traditional transactions in order to process them on the traditional payment network. Additionally, the payments system includes pricing structures that are associated with alternative payment products. These pricing structures are implemented and processed on the payment network, alongside the pricing structures of traditional payment products.

In high-end professional video cameras a triax system is used for transferring various signals back and forth over a single coaxial cable between the camera and a base unit using frequency multiplexing. In current low-cost camera systems several signals are transferred as analogue signals over separate wires or cables. However, the analogue camera CVBS video output signal is replaced by a standard serial SDI signal from the camera to a base unit, achieving a maximum data rate of 270 Mbit/s. According to the invention, a single SDI or HDSDI connection is used for transmitting a digital playback video signal as well as a digital teleprompter video signal from the base unit to the camera. A one-dimensional adaptive dynamic range compression is used to reduce the data word length of the two video signals to be transmitted via the SDI/HDSDI connection. To one of the two video signals a smaller data word length is assigned than to the data word length of the other one.

A method and circuit thereof for performing setup and hold (SUAH) testing on integrated circuits including, but not limited to SRAM, utilizing a relatively low number of test vectors, obviating the conventional requirement of writing to and reading back from each and every memory address. In one embodiment, a first test data signal of all zeros (0) is inputted to the input stage of the SRAM under test, and a subsequent second data signal of all ones (1) follows. In one embodiment, XOR/XNOR gates detect differences in data signals between the inputs and outputs of input stage latches/registers after clocking. In one embodiment, detected differences are combined into an error signal in combinational logic. In one embodiment, error signals are exported serially to a test system by a scan chain. Alternatively, in another embodiment, error signals are exported in parallel via individual output drivers.

A method for protecting the execution of a main program against possible traps, including, on occurrence of an instruction from the main program, starting a time counter of a given count according to next instructions of the main program, and executing, once the counter has reached its count, at least one instruction of a secondary program from which the result of the main program depends.

Nucleic acid comprising or encoding an RNA replica comprising, in this order, the following segments (i) to (iii): i) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a potexvirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase or a function-conservative variant thereof; ii) a nucleic acid sequence comprising: a) a potexvirus triple gene block or a function-conservative variant thereof and b) a sequence encoding a potexviral coat protein or a function-conservative variant thereof; or a sequence encoding a tobago viral movement protein; and iii) a heterologous nucleic acid sequence expressible from said replica in a plant or in plant tissue.

A system and a method for distributing and executing program code in a control unit network, in which at least one of the units is able to detect a defect in its hardware and is able to transmit its code to at least one other control unit in the network, the transmitted code being executable on the target control unit.

An image-recording system having at least one camera, having a receiving device and having a signal connection between the camera and the receiving device. The receiving device generates a PWM-coded signal which is transmitted to the camera. A clock signal is obtained in the camera from the PWM-coded signal.

A method for managing HTTP adaptive streaming of digital content within a real-time multimedia stream player terminal, associated with a terminal for rendering the digital content. The method includes obtaining a description file for the digital content, including a list of time segments of the content each associated with a plurality of content encoding rates; and downloading time segments at one of the encoding rates. The method implements a concomitant rendering, by the rendering terminal, of the digital content and of an element, called main element, belonging to a group including a menu and other digital content. The method implements, during the downloading step, a partial downloading of a preliminary portion of at least some of the time segments, and a rendering, for a duration of one of the time segments, of a picture decoded from the preliminary portion of the corresponding time segment.
