Abstract: And angularly adjustable object support rack or bicycle support rack for a vehicle is constructed with a first rod and a second rod connected by an adjustment structure that enables the first rod and the second rod to be adjusted to a folded over configuration that occupies less space when storing the bicycle rack. The adjustment structure also enables the first rod and second rod to be adjusted to a right angle orientation that reduces the extent the support rack extends from the rear of a vehicle to which it is attached. The adjustment structure enables the first rod and second rod to be adjusted to where the second rod is aligned with the first rod for attaching bicycles on the support rack. The adjustment structure further enables the second rod to be adjusted to a downward tilted orientation providing clearance between the vehicle and the attached support rack.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a router that is configured to pass a pneumatic carrier therethrough and comprises a solid continuous curved tube, a tube rotational support, and a drive. The tube includes a first open end and a second open end opposed of the first open end. The tube rotational support is in operative supporting connection with the tube and enables the tube to rotate about an axis. The first open end is generally aligned with the first opening. In a first rotational position of the tube, the second open end is generally aligned with a first of the plurality of second openings. In a second rotational position of the tube, the second open end is generally aligned with a second of the plurality of second openings. The drive is operative to cause the tube to move between the first and second rotational positions.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a routing computer is operable to communicate with an automated banking machine and with a plurality of remote financial transaction authorization systems. The routing computer is operable to receive data representative of a requested transaction associated with a financial account associated with a user operating the automated banking machine. The routing computer is operable to determine for the plurality of remote financial transaction authorization system a transaction processing fee for the requested transaction. The routing computer is operable to select a selected one of the plurality of remote financial transaction authorization systems for the transaction, wherein the selected one of the plurality of remote financial transaction systems is selected based on having the lowest transaction processing fee for the requested transaction.

Abstract: Systems for applying or dispensing fluids such as surgical prep solution are disclosed. The applicator includes a barrel portion, container, and/or cap. The barrel portion, container and/or cap comprises elements such that they can be movably located relative to each other prior to activation.

Abstract: An exemplary system includes an ATM (322) which is operative to conduct transactions including cash dispensing for users responsive to communication with a transaction host (336). The ATM is also operative to provide output signals which drive external displays (328, 330) which are separate from the ATM. The processor in the ATM is also operative to cause the ATM to receive visual and/or audio content from one or more content sources (342, 343) and to store data corresponding to such content in the ATM. Such content is then output through the external displays. The ATM is also operative to receive and store a plurality of advertising messages. The advertising messages are output in a targeted manner to users of the ATM.
