Abstract:

A method is provided allowing an application processing entity such as an independent sales organization (ISO) or an acquirer bank (ACQ) to establish an active merchant account for processing credit card transactions. According to the method, a merchant may begin processing credit card transactions over the Internet or in a conventional bricks-and-mortar setting substantially immediately upon applying for a new merchant account which may be accessed when a merchant applies for a new account or obtains identification numbers in real time. These numbers are then transmitted to the merchant. The merchant may begin processing transactions immediately upon receiving the identification numbers, however, a divert flag is set which prevents funds from being dispersed to the merchant until the merchant application completes an underwriting process.

Abstract:

An inspection board enables an inspector to accurately scan back and forth in both X and Y motions without having to take his eyes off an inspected workpiece or having to take his hands off the control handles for causing the scan. In some embodiments, an antistatic covering protects the workpiece against static charges which might otherwise build up as a result of a rubbing together of parts during the scanning motion. The inspection board has a particularly important utility when used to inspect printed circuit boards.
