  • Patent number: 11797964
    Abstract: An automated transaction machine (ATM) can include a housing, a display, a cash recycler, and a check receiver. The display can be mounted to the housing and directed toward an exterior of the housing. The cash recycler can be configured to receive a first note of currency from a first user of the ATM and dispense the first note of currency to a subsequent, second user of the ATM. The check receiver can be positioned in the housing, an intake portion with an inlet communicating with the exterior of the housing, and a check reader portion configured to receive a check from the intake portion, scan data displayed on the check, and store the check. The intake portion can be positioned below the display and the check reader portion is positioned behind the display.

  • Publication number: 20220326199
    Abstract: A method of unambiguous identification and authentication of products for the purpose of better recognition of product forgeries and controlling product piracy, including applying to/into the product an identification substance admixture which contains paramagnetic phases or identifying a product which contains an identification substance admixture containing paramagnetic phases and has an ESR fingerprint spectrum that permits unambiguous identification of the product. Such an ESR fingerprint spectrum is easily measurable, but can be copied or forged only with difficulty. The method relates to an individualizable “femto tag” for femto ledgers and forms an important interface for what are known as “Internet of Things” (IOT).

  • Patent number: 7129229
    Abstract: This invention relates to attachment chemistries for binding macromolecules to a substrate surface or to other conjugation targets. More particularly, this invention relates to attachment chemistries involving branched or linear structures having one or more hydrazide attachment moieties for binding the macromolecules to a substrate surface, or for other conjugation reactions. Novel modifying reagents are provided for the introduction of protected hydrazide attachment moieties or precursor forms of such hydrazides to the macromolecule, either as a single hydrazide or as multiple hydrazides.

  • Publication number: 20050208576
    Abstract: Methods are provided for producing an array of immobilized nucleic acids on an array device. The array device has a plurality of microlocations each having an electrode. At least one of the microlocations has a synthetic addressing unit coupled to the microlocation. The microlocation is the activated, usually by electronically biasing the electrode of the microlocation. The at least one microlocation is then contacted by a conjugate which has a nucleic acid and a synthetic binding unit. The conjugate is then coupled to the microlocation through an interaction between the synthetic binding unit and the synthetic addressing unit. In one embodiment, the synthetic binding unit and synthetic addressing unit may be pRNA, pDNA, or CNA.

  • Patent number: 6893822
    Abstract: The present invention relates to conjugates of synthetic binding units and nucleic acids. The present invention also relates to methods for sorting and immobilizing nucleic acids on support materials using such conjugates by specific molecular addressing of the nucleic acids mediated by the synthetic binding systems. Particularly, the present invention also relates to novel methods of utilizing conjugates of synthetic binding units and nucleic acids to in active electronic array systems to produce novel array constructs from the conjugates, and the use of such constructs in various nucleic acid assay formats. In addition, the present invention relates to various novel forms of such conjugates, improved methods of making solid phase synthesized conjugates, and improved methods of conjugating pre-synthesized synthetic binding units and nucleic acids.

  • Publication number: 20010049111
    Abstract: This invention relates to devices and methods for carrying out multi-step and multiplex immunoaffinity binding reactions in microscopic formats. In particular, these devices and methods allow the user to rapidly carry out multiple immunoassays in the same sample volume, and to rapidly resolve the results of those immunoassays in an electronically assisted format. The assays may be further multiplexed in that several samples may be analyzed and visualized on the same microelectronic array.
