Patent number: 11869297Abstract: An automated transaction machine includes a plurality of cassettes of at least two different configurations. A first cassette may include multiple cavities with an internal transport, while a second cassette includes a single cavity. A first cassette may include lid access from both a top and bottom, while a second cassette only includes lid access from a top.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Diebold Nixdorf, IncorporatedInventors: William Daniel Beskitt, Jasen James Smolk, Sean Haney, Michael J. Harty

Publication number: 20230416031Abstract: A sensing apparatus can be configured to detect an edge of a paper that is received by an automated transaction machine (ATM). The paper can move along a path located inside the ATM, the path having opposite first and second sides. The sensing apparatus can include a light emitter and a light detector on the first side of the path, with the light emitter positioned so that it can emit light across the path to the second side. The light detector can be configured to detect light from the light emitter and can emit a signal corresponding to an amount of detected light. The sensing apparatus can also include a control circuit that can control a flow of power to the light emitter, and the control circuit can also receive the signal emitted by the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: DAVID Z FEW, BOLEY CLINTON, MARKO SAVCIC, MICHAEL J HARTY, KEN TUROCY, THOMAS A VANKIRK, AARON CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM, DAVID NIKKEL, JASEN JAMES SMOLK, WILLIAM DANIEL BESKITT

Patent number: 11542111Abstract: A center-alignment apparatus for use in an ATM has a transport mechanism to transport a document into the ATM. One or more plates operable in tandem to move the document toward a centerline of a path the document is to travel. Edge-detection sensor(s) on the plate sense an edge of the document when the plate(s) is moved toward the centerline. A translate/rotate mechanism translates and rotates the document while the translate/rotate mechanism transversely moves the document toward the center until another edge-detection sensor detects an edge of the document to create a parallel-aligned document. The control logic controls the plate(s) to centers the parallel-aligned document about the centerline to create a centered document.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Diebold Nixdorf IncorporatedInventors: William Daniel Beskitt, Jasen James Smolk
