  • Publication number: 20240320642
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure related to identifying and resolving anomalies associated with an ATM processing a check that has been deposited by a customer. The computing platform may receive a digital representation of the check that has been deposited. The computing platform may compare parameters associated with the check to expected parameters. The computing platform may generate a validation report comprising an anomaly, an event code associated with the anomaly, and an action to resolve the anomaly based on the event code. The computing platform may input results and feedback into a machine learning model to further refine the accuracy and reliability of the computing platform over time.

  • Patent number: 4571175
    Abstract: A method of disposing of aqueous waste in which the aqueous waste is mixed with cement raw materials to form a slurry for the preparation of Portland cement or the like, for example in a rotary kiln. Prior to forming the slurry, the aqueous waste is treated to remove volatiles and other pollutants which vaporize when heated to a temperature below the boiling point of water. Such volatile materials are removed by contacting the aqueous waste with the effluent exhaust gases from the kiln itself and with the effluent air from the clinker cooler with suitable controls to avoid loss of the water component of the aqueous waste through boiling. The treated aqueous waste is then embodied in the slurry fed to the kiln and the pollutants in the water which can be combusted by the high temperature in the kiln are destroyed. The gaseous effluent which is cooled by contact with the aqueous waste may be discharged or further treated to recover the volatiles and other components which may be salvaged.
