  • Patent number: 9830586
    Abstract: A template version of check information is obtained and an image of a check produced from the template for a transaction of a payor. The image is transmitted to a payee and the payee uses the image to electronically deposit the image for payment with the payee's financial institution as if the image came from a physical check obtained from the payor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9443012
    Abstract: A method of determining http process information while executing a secure web application which redirects to a separate an unsecure web application to determine the information and redirect the information back to the secure web application. An example method includes redirecting the web browser software to an unsecure web application for obtaining the information by the computer during execution of the secure application, executing the unsecure web application using the web browser software by the computer to obtain the information about the http process, and redirecting the web browser software to provide the information from the unsecure web application to the secure web application by the computer.

  • Publication number: 20100215835
    Abstract: A spray application system for applying material to a surface of a rotating body such as a beverage can includes a detector that detects the actual speed of rotation of the surface during a spraying operation. This allows a controller to adjust trigger signals for the application device to be adjusted based on speed of rotation to minimize overcoat. A laser sensor may be used as an example. The use of the speed detector also allows for partial wraps as well as full wraps of applying material to the rotating surface.

  • Patent number: 6265017
    Abstract: A first embodiment includes a control system which operates a spray gun to apply an even coating of flux to a circuit board or a plurality of different length circuit boards irrespective of the speed that the circuit board(s) move through a coating chamber. In a second embodiment, the control system pulses the spray gun on and off with a pulsing pattern that coats a plurality of zones of a circuit board with spray patterns of different length and thickness.
