Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for scanning and mapping entity portals to distribution processing systems. The present invention may be configured to scan an entity portal of a distribution processing system to generate responses of the entity portal to test distributions, where the entity portal is associated with an entity, and where the distribution processing system processes distributions for the entity. The present invention may be configured to receive, from the entity portal, responses of the entity portal to the test distributions, where the responses include data associated with distributions processed by the distribution processing system for the entity. The present invention may be configured to determine, based on the data, resources offered by the entity to users, an accounting hierarchy of the entity, and settlement procedures for processing distributions for the entity and generate a mapping of the entity portal to another distribution processing system.

Abstract: The present invention provides, inter alia, biocompatible porous structural materials made exclusively or almost exclusively from nanocellulose fibers (CNF), CNC, or bacterial cellulose, as well as processes for making and using provided compositions. Provided compositions may possess specifically tailored mechanical strength properties and have a design-controlled porosity that is homogeneous or graded, depending on the application. Provided compositions may be manufactured by the controlled dewatering of suspensions of CNF. In some embodiments, provided compositions may include a solids concentration of about 10% to about 95% by weight. Controlled water removal and pore homo- or heterogeneity may be accomplished by controlling capillary, hydrostatic and evaporative processes in the environment of a porous mold around the CNF slurry.

Abstract: The present invention includes methods of making a nanocellulosic composition comprising one or more nanocellulosic components, wherein the one or more nanocellulosic components comprise a micron-scale cellulose or cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), the method comprising the steps of: creating a nanocellulosic slurry by combining the one or more of nanocellulosic components with a liquid component; and exposing the nanocellulosic slurry to a drying condition, wherein the drying condition comprises microwave radiation, thereby creating a nanocellulosic composition. The present invention also includes compositions comprising cellulose (nanocellulosic compositions), wherein the nanocellulosic compositions have an internal void space of about 5% to about 95% by volume.

Abstract: Methods and devices for completing a series of tasks using augmented reality (AR) features are described. In the disclosed methods, live video of a tangible target (for example, a human, manikin, animal, plant, or inanimate object), is captured and displayed, one or more graphic indicators specific to a first task are generated (using a processing device) and displayed on the live video. A position of a tangible object (e.g., an instrument controlled by user) relative to a first location on the target is detected and the processing device determines whether the action of the tangible object completes the first task. Once the first task has been determined to be complete, subsequent tasks and associated graphic indicators are generated and displayed to prompt the user to perform additional actions with respect to the target.

Abstract: A gutter cover distributing water across the face of the cover and controlling the rate of water ingress through the cover into the gutter thereby assisting in the separation of water and shedding of debris from the passing runoff water and debris, and preventing debris from building up on the gutter cover.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of operating a keying and balancing workstation of an image-based check processing system is provided. The computer-implemented method comprises obtaining a free check item from a list of free check items, extracting payee information from the free check item, establishing a payee name from the extracted payee information, obtaining an account number from a deposit slip, obtaining a list of depositor names based upon the account number obtained from the deposit slip, comparing the payee name with depositor names contained in the list of depositor names to determine if the payee name matches a depositor name, and associating the free check item with the depositor slip when the payee name matches a depositor name from the list of depositor names.

Abstract: A concrete stamping apparatus includes a roller with a stamp forming its surface, and a receiving portion for rotatably holding the roller. There is also a system for delivering fluid to the release the roller from the surface on which it operates by spraying fluid onto the ground surface in advance of the roller. The receiving portion can be adjustably weighted, such that the roller will stamp the concrete uniformly as the concrete tightens.

Abstract: Deposit transaction data associated with a check deposited at an automated teller machine (ATM) is processed to determine if the deposited check is acceptable. Deposit transaction data relating to the deposited check is received from an ATM switch. A determination is made as to whether the deposited check is acceptable based upon the transaction data. A flag is set and a risk score is assigned when the deposited check is determined to be unacceptable. A second source file is created using set flags and assigned risk scores, and then sent to a data server. The second source tile is merged with associated deposit data retrieved from memory at the data server. The merged file is sent to a deposit review processor and a deposit review workstation. The deposit review processor determines if any deposited item needs to be reviewed by a human operator or outsorted based upon data contained in the merged file.

Abstract: A method is provided for processing debit transactions at the lowest cost available. The method is comprised of the following steps: providing a merchant identification number and an account number BIN file to a debit processing center; matching the merchant identification number against at least one merchant database at the debit processing center; providing a merchant network list from the at least one merchant database based upon the match of the merchant identification number; providing a customer network list from the at least one merchant database based upon the match of customer identification number; creating a merchant-customer network list by matching at least one common element from the merchant network list and the customer network list. Next the system determines the validity for each common element of the merchant-customer network list and eliminates each invalid common element from the merchant-customer network list.
