Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may enable synchronization of a display of a mobile computing device with a display of an ATM. The displays first may be synched when a user positions the mobile computing device in proximity to the ATM. Near field communication (NFC) initially may be used when the mobile phone is in proximity with the ATM. Once the communication connection has been realized, the displays may be synchronized to reflect the connection. After the NFC connection has been realized, a cellular connection between a user's mobile computing device with a server having a secure connection with the ATM may be established. One or more financial transactions may be initiated with the ATM from the mobile computing device via the cellular connection. The display of the mobile computing device and the ATM may remain synched during the one or more financial transactions.

Abstract: A text conversation between at least two users is monitored. A first regarding a first topic is detected. A second message received subsequent to the first message regarding a second topic is detected. A third message received subsequent to the second message regarding the first topic is detected. In response to detecting that the third message regards the first topic of the first message, the third message may be displayed immediately adjacent the first message.

Abstract: There is provided a photon-counting x-ray detector system (200) comprising a plurality of photon-counting channels (220), and at least one anti-coincidence circuit (230), each of which is connected to least two of the channels and configured to detect coincident events in the connected channels.
