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.

Abstract: A self-service terminal can include a computing device, a display, a transceiver, a card module, an optical scanner, and a radiation source. The display can be in communication with the computing device and be controlled by the computing device. The computing device can be configured to transmit and receive data through the transceiver. The card module can have an intake and card reader configured to read a chip or a magnetic strip. At least part of a path of movement of the card through the self-service terminal can be defined by the card module. The scanner can be positioned on a first side of the path to capture an image of a first side of the card. The radiation source can emit radiation at an area of the card when the image is being captured.

Abstract: A brake system for a passenger transportation system includes a brake lining and a brake surface, wherein a gap exists between the brake lining and the brake surface when the brake system is in an open position. The brake system also includes an optical monitoring system and a processor. The optical monitoring system has a light source arranged to emit light towards at least one of the gap and the brake lining, and a light detector arranged in a light path of the light emitted by the light source. The light detector generates an electrical signal as a function of impinging light. The processor is coupled to the optical monitoring system to receive the electrical signal and to generate a predetermined indication if the signal indicates a value that is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: An Automated Transaction Machine (ATM) includes a housing with a lower unit and an upper unit including a main portion having a top panel and a display housing extending above the top panel. A display is disposed within the display housing. A control electronics package is disposed in the display housing and including a processor and a plurality of input/output ports.

Abstract: An automated banking machine operates using data read from user cards. The machine is operative to transfer funds in accounts. The machine includes a user fascia adapted to be held by a lock adjacent an opening of a housing supported atop a security chest. The fascia is supported by the housing through two horizontally-disposed members. The fascia is movable away from the housing. The machine includes serviceable components including a card reader supported within the housing or by the fascia. A machine servicer can stand between the two horizontally-disposed members while servicing the machine. The housing additionally includes a rear panel similarly movably mounted with two other horizontally-disposed members for use in servicing rear components.

Abstract: An automated banking machine operates using data read from user cards. The machine is operative to transfer funds in account. The machine includes a fascia adapted to be held by a lock adjacent an opening of a housing supported atop a chest. The fascia is in operatively supported connection with the housing and operatively supported by the housing through two horizontally-disposed members. The machine includes at least one serviceable component supported within the housing or by the fascia. The fascia is moved away from the housing while operatively supported by the housing through the two horizontally-disposed members and a servicer may stand between the two horizontally-disposed members while servicing at least one component of the machine. The housing may alternatively or additionally include a rear panel similarly mounted with two horizontally-disposed members for servicing of machine components.

Abstract: An automated banking machine operates responsive to data bearing records. The machine includes a housing, a card reader in operatively-supported connection with the housing and operative to read indicia on user cards corresponding to financial accounts, a display in operatively-supported connection with the housing, and a cash dispenser in operatively-supported connection with the housing. The machine further includes a fascia movably mounted in operatively-supported connection with the housing and a journal printer assembly mounted to the fascia. The journal printer assembly includes a vertically arranged print head, a paper supply, and a paper take-up.

Abstract: An automated banking machine is controlled responsive to data bearing records. The machine operates using data read from user cards by a card reader. The machine includes a housing, a fascia connected with the housing and movable between a secure closed position adjacent a housing opening and a released away position, wherein the fascia is a least partially separated from the housing opening, a pair of latches operable to releasably secure the fascia to the housing and movable between a fascia-securing position and a fascia-releasing position, and an access panel mounted to the fascia and including a lock, and movable between a closed panel position, wherein the access panel blocks access to the latches, and an open panel position, wherein the latches are accessible to be released.
