Abstract: An automated banking machine is operated at least in part to data read from data bearing records. The machine is operative to carry out a financial transfer responsive at least in part to a determination that data read through a card reader of the machine corresponds to a financial account that is authorized to conduct a transaction through operation of the machine. The machine also includes a check acceptor operative to receive checks from machine users. The check acceptor is operative image checks and data resolved from check images is used in operation of the machine to cause financial transfers.

Abstract: A banking system operates responsive to data read from data bearing records. The system includes an automated banking machine comprising a card reader. The card reader includes a movable read head that can read card data along a magnetic stripe of a card that was inserted long-edge first. The card reader includes a card entry gate. The gate is opened for a card that is determined to be properly oriented for data reading. The card reader can encrypt card data, including account data. The card data is usable by the machine to authorize a user to carry out a financial transfer involving the account.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an automated banking machine operable to perform cash withdrawals. If a withdrawal is below a threshold, authorization is obtained from a first transaction authorization computer. If a withdrawal is greater than or equal to the threshold, a first portion of the cash is dispensed responsive to authorization from a first transaction authorization computer and a second portion of the cash amount is dispensed responsive to authorization from a second transaction authorization computer.

Abstract: The implantable scaffold matrix composition for osteogenic regeneration has a biodegradable polymer material selected from the group consisting of one or more of polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, or polycaprolactone, or any combination thereof to provide a time release delivery of an osteogenic effect and further has a pharmaceutical composition selected from the group consisting of one or more of ibuprofen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), acetaminophen, or naproxen sodium or any combination thereof and wherein the implantable composition has a primary and a secondary time release. The primary time release being one of the polymer compositions; each time release extending occurring between 0 days and 19 days, both not being at 0 days.

Abstract: A banking system is controlled responsive, at least in part, to data read from data bearing records. The banking system includes an automated banking machine. The machine is operable to carry out a financial transaction responsive to a determination that data read from a data bearing record, such as a card that is read by a card reader in the machine, corresponds to stored information for an authorized user or financial account. The machine is operable to receive and dispense documents. The machine includes a check acceptor that is operative to receive checks and a cash dispenser that is operative to dispense cash. Document holding cassettes in the machine include circuitry that is wirelessly powered through inductive coupling. The machine can wirelessly read data from a cassette through use of induction.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a document holding cassettes that can be used in an automated banking machine that includes circuitry that is wirelessly powered through inductive coupling. The cassette can wirelessly communicate with the automated banking machine through induction.

Abstract: Provided is a method for selecting a lubricant and a refrigerant for use in a vapor-compression refrigeration device such that the combination of the lubricant and refrigerant produces a fluid system having a lubricant-rich phase and a refrigerant-rich phase, yet exhibits miscible-type properties.

Abstract: A system for transforming customer data includes a network interface and a processor. The network interface communicates a request for customer data associated with a particular geographical area. It also receives a customer profile code associated with the customer data, wherein the customer profile code comprises a first code segment and a second code segment. It further receives first and second rules associated with the customer profile code. The processor transforms the first and second code segments into customer data using the rules. It further analyzes the particular geographical area using the customer data.

Abstract: A system for transforming customer data includes a network interface and a processor. The network interface communicates a request for customer data associated with a determined set of customers. It also receives a customer profile code associated with the customer data, wherein the customer profile code comprises a first code segment and a second code segment. It further receives first and second rules associated with the customer profile code. The processor determines the set of customers, transforms the first and second code segments into customer data using the rules, and analyzes the customer data to determine an operations history for the set of customers.
