  • Patent number: 11436579
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to performing enhanced deposit item processing using cognitive automation tools. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a deposit item input support server, image data associated with a deposit item. Subsequently, the computing platform may apply a machine learning classification model to the image data associated with the deposit item. In doing so, the computing platform may produce one or more predicted values for one or more fields of the deposit item and one or more confidence scores for the one or more predicted values. Based on these predicted values and confidence scores, the computing platform may generate and send one or more commands directing the deposit item input support server to accept or reject the deposit item, which in turn may cause the deposit item input support server to accept or reject the deposit item.

  • Patent number: 8301671
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing removal of replicated objects based on garbage collection is presented. Data objects are replicated from a primary source to a backup device. A notification is received from a garbage collection process for at least one data object replicated from the primary source to the backup device, the notification indicating that the data object should be deleted. The data object having the notification is deleted from the backup destination.

  • Publication number: 20070237926
    Abstract: A slip-resistant flooring has a first layer of plastics material. Bonded to an upper surface of the first layer of the plastics material is a particulate layer of one or more polymeric particles. These polymeric particles provide a slip resistant effect. Flooring material thus treated has improved cleanability and appearance.

  • Patent number: 5846641
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a mixed ionic electronic conductor membrane comprising a dense layer sandwiched between two porous layers. Furthermore the invention discloses the application of this membrane to the use of partial oxidation of hydrocarbons. One porous layer, which is in contact with air, promotes the generation of oxygen ions. The oxygen ions diffuse through the dense layer to the second porous layer which is in contact with a hydrocarbon and result in partial oxidation of the hydrocarbon.
