Abstract: Requests for physical documents matching one or more transaction document images may be processed by a request clearinghouse system. For example, the request clearinghouse system may identify the requested physical document and determine a storage location thereof. Upon identifying the storage location, the request clearinghouse system may add the request to a worklist of the storage location. Each storage location may have its own worklist. Upon completion of a task (e.g., processing of a request), the storage location may transmit a confirmation to the request clearinghouse system. The request clearinghouse system may notify the requesting party that the request was processed. Additionally or alternatively, storage location systems may transmit transaction information to the request clearinghouse system upon detection of a new physical document or transaction. This information may include document images, transaction parties, transaction amounts and the like.

Abstract: A jacketed steam humidification apparatus includes an elongated steam dispersion tube having discharge orifices for the release of steam, and an elongated jacket defining a jacket passageway in contact with the dispersion tube so that steam can flow along the jacket passageway to maintain the dispersion tube in a heated condition, where the jacket has one or more escape passages to allow a portion of the steam and other gases in the jacket passageway to escape from the jacket passageway.
