Abstract: A time delayed cash dispenser is interconnected with a control terminal that is connectable to an electronic funds transfer system. The control terminal is selectively controlled to "override" the timer of the time delayed cash dispenser to enable a user to access and perform transactions through the EFT system. Preferably, the control terminal activates the cash dispenser to vend cash containers containing the authorized cash disbursement. Cash stores in the time delayed cash dispenser are replenished by depositing excess cash from the retail location cash register. The system thus permits cash replenishment in discrete amounts without exposing the entire cash stores and permits a retail establishment to sell cash to customers through the EFT system.

Abstract: A time delayed cash dispenser is interconnected with a node processor which interfaces with an EFT system. The node processor emulates an ATM to access and perform transactions through the EFT system and activates a printer to issue scrip representative of authorized cash disbursements. The node processor also generates electronic commands to activate the cash dispenser upon manual entry of a transaction code to disburse cash in redemption for the scrip.

Abstract: The height of a liquid level from the bottom of a storage tank or the like is accurately determined by using a probe with dual isolated channels to measure the time for an acoustic signal to travel between fixed submerged points and from a transducer in one of the channels to the surface of the liquid. Elapsed time measurements are converted to liquid volume using predetermined velocity-temperature values to compensate for temperature variations in the tank.
