Abstract: A customer interface system for use with a check processing system. The customer interface system has a check reader and a card issuing machine. The check reader receives a check code indicative of a check having value and transmits the check code to the check processing system for at least one of authorizing and guaranteeing payment of at least a portion of the value of the check. The card issuing machine is operatively associated with the check reader. The card issuing machine receives an authorization code representing at least one of the authorization and the guarantee from the check processing system and provides an outputted card having a value thereon.

Abstract: A crystalline molecular sieve is synthesized as encapsulating chelating agents which are macrocyclic organic molecules containing from about 8 to about 18 members in cyclic configuration with at least one bicyclic bridge having from about 3 to about 10 members, the molecule members being carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and/or arsenic. The molecules contain at least two nitrogen members and at least one member is oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus, and/or arsenic, and the members include sufficient bonds to contiguous members or to hydrogen to form stable molecules. The macrocycles may be complexed with metal ions and the molecular sieve may be used in catalysis and medical imaging.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel synthetic crystalline molecular sieve composition, MCM-37, which may contain framework +3 valence element, e.g. aluminum, and +5 valence element, e.g. phosphorus or with an addition +4 valence element, e.g. silicon, and to use thereof as a support and in catalytic conversion of organic compounds. The crystalline composition of this invention can easily be converted to catalytically active material.

Abstract: There is provided a process for using poly-nuclear oxometalates in the synthesis of crystalline oxide materials. In addition to a poly-nuclear oxometalate, the reaction mixture includes an additional source of an oxide and two distinct liquid phases, one phase being an aqueous phase and the other phase being an organic phase including a water immiscible organic solvent for either the poly-nuclear oxometalate or the additional oxide source.
