Abstract: Processes and apparatus for treatment of flowing slurries of particulate material mixed in liquid employ a wide, elongated downwardly-slanted, metal tray with upturned edge flanges, cable-suspended for unrestrained vibratory flexing and undulation. The tray is provided with a plurality of ultrasonic transducers mounted on its underside, and the flowing slurry is delivered to the upper tray end, flowing lengthwise down the tray in a shallow flowing sheet. Ultrasonic vibratory energy coupled through the tray to the flowing slurry has a "microscopic scrubbing" action on all particles and agglomerates, breaking the surface tension on the particle, cleaning particle surfaces, and separating different constituent particles and coatings of gels, slimes, algae, clay or mud. Mixtures of fine particles of coal or other valuable minerals with ash, clay, rock or sand particles are separated with unexpected efficiency by these techniques.

Abstract: An automatic teller machine housing includes a conventional automatic teller machine having a money cassette portion, a display panel and internal mechanical and electrical components. The ATM is mounted in the housing with the display panel exposed along one longitudinal side of the housing, the housing being a width slightly greater than the depth of the money cassette, and large enough to allow rotational movement of the money cassette. The money cassette is rotatably and slidably mounted within a vault within the housing so as to be moveable between an operable position in engagement with the display panel and transversely oriented to the longitudinal walls of the housing, and a loading position generally parallel with the longitudinal walls of the housing. A turntable having a slidable platform mounted thereon is utilized to support the money cassette within a vault, so as to permit the appropriate movement of the money cassette from the operable position to the loading position.
