  • WEATHER EVENT OCCURENCE
    Publication number: 20260147138
    Abstract: A method and a Self-Service Terminal are disclosed. The method comprises responsive to a first output of a first weather event detection component of a Self-Service Terminal, SST, detecting, by the SST, a possible weather event in an environment local to the SST; responsive to at least one second output of at least one second weather event detection component of the SST, verifying, by the SST, the possible weather event; and responsive to the verifying, determining, by the SST, that the possible weather event is occurring in the environment local to the SST.

  • CASH TRAP DETECTION
    Publication number: 20260127950
    Abstract: A cash trapping monitor apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a monitor printed circuit board (PCB) interposed between a shutter assembly PCB and a dispenser/recycler PCB. The monitor PCB is connected/interfaced to a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor and an ultrasonic sensor both of which are situated behind a shutter blade in a media chute of a media handling device. Blade states reported by the shutter are changed by the monitor PCB before reporting to the dispenser/recycler PCB when distance measurements provided by the sensors indicate a cash trapping device is present in the chute, indicate that the shutter blade is missing, and/or indicate an original shutter blade was replaced with a different shutter blade.
