Abstract: An upper limb prosthetic device may comprise a hybrid-drive prosthetic device that includes one or more actuators fixed to a first arm portion and one or more cables extending from the one or more actuators along one or more cable paths defined through the first arm portion and a second arm portion to a terminal device/device assembly, where the one or more cables are configured to be actuated by the one or more actuators and are further configured to be actuated by pivoting the second arm portion toward the first arm portion, Alternatively, or additionally, the upper limb prosthetic device may comprise a modular prosthetic device that includes a modular terminal device assembly with removably coupled first, second, and third modular links configured to control the respective yaw, pitch, and roll of an end effector (e.g a prosthetic hand, a tool, an instrument or any other attachment).

Abstract: A modular pump platform includes a pump head module, a pump motor module, an electronics module and a separable tray. The pump motor module includes a pump motor having a rotary output removably coupled to a crank shaft of the pump head, the pump motor being one of multiple types of pump motors, and the pump motor module being detachably connected to the pump head module. The electronics module includes an electronic control circuit configured to control operation of the pump motor, the electronic control circuit being one of multiple types of electronic control circuits corresponding to the types of pump motors. Each of the pump head module, the pump motor module and the electronics module is detachably connected to the separable tray. At least the pump motor module is interchangeable with another pump motor module comprising a pump motor of another type.

Abstract: Parts of a pump head of a scroll pump facilitate an assembly process in which the stationary and orbiting scroll blades of the pump are angularly aligned or synchronized with one another. A metallic bellows of the pump head provides a primary means of synchronizing the stationary and orbiting scroll blades. The assembly process may be carried out using a fixture configured to be mountable to an assemblage including the bellows and the orbiting plate scroll. The fixture has a reference feature, and the orbiting plate scroll or the frame has another reference feature that can be aligned with the reference feature of the fixture, in the circumferential direction of the bellows, during the course of the assembly process.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for client-side deposit packaging compliance are provided. Apparatus and methods may include deploying a uniform reporting format for clients, banks, armored couriers and vaults. The uniform reporting format may be a XML data feed. The XML data feed may provide for reporting of condition codes associated with a deposit. The condition codes may correspond to one or more attributes of a deposit packaged by a client. The condition codes may be submitted by the client. The condition codes may be verified when a deposit is processed by a vault. Illustrative condition codes may correspond to: armored courier ID, envelope status, counterfeit status. The XML data feed may utilize dynamic online, rule-based forms for clients, banks, armored couriers and vaults.

Abstract: A printer head cleaner can include a housing and a plunger coupled to the housing. The plunger can include a bit retainer and a pusher. The bit retainer is configured to retain a bit. The pusher can advance the bit with respect to the housing and/or rotate the bit when pressure is applied to the plunger. In some implementations, the housing defines one or more registration features that can register a printer head with respect to the housing so that the bit is guided while advancing into the nozzle of a printer head.

Abstract: Tools for forecasting financial instrument transfers are provided. The tools may include a funds processing system. The funds processing system may be established at a client location. The funds processing system may receive a plurality of items. The items may include one or more financial instruments. The items may include one or more attachments. The items may be processed using the funds processing system. Data corresponding to the items may be transmitted to a financial institution. The data may be used to compute a forecast. The forecast may be based at least on part on data received via the funds processing system. Data analytical models may forecast future requirements. The requirements may be pickup requirements. The pickup requirements may be financial instrument pickup requirements. The forecast may be a time forecast. The time may be an estimated arrival time. The estimated arrival time may be at the financial institution.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for client deposit tracking are provided. The deposit may be tracked from a time the deposit is retrieved from a client location until a value of the deposit is credited to a client. A deposit may be tracked by affixing a bar-code to a cartridge storing containing the deposit. The bar-code may be printed on the cartridge. The bar-code may be electronically transmitted to the cartridge. The bar-code may include deposit information. The deposit information may include deposit weights. The bar-code may be captured an armored courier. Information captured from the bar-code may be transmitted to a financial institution. The financial institution may derive performance metrics based on the information captured from the bar-code. Deposit status determination may be provided based on the information capture from the bar-code. Deposits status information may be transmitted to a client of the financial institution.
