  • Publication number: 20070200928
    Abstract: A surveillance system for an ATM utilizing multiple cameras aimed at the user, the card slot, and surrounding areas is disclosed. The cameras are powered and begin to record images after a sensor is activated. The system maintains a buffer of recorded imagery such that when the sensors are activated, the video processing equipment can store a pre-defined amount of time before the sensor is activated. The buffer allows for the video capture of events just prior to the activation of the sensor. A time stamp and any other relevant data from the cameras may also be included with the stored recorded video.

  • Patent number: 4219203
    Abstract: Apparatus for providing thermal and pressure sealing in an elongated space of varying width between adjacent surfaces of first and second members mounted for at least limited lateral movement therebetween. The apparatus may comprise: a first elongated support member attached to one of the adjacent surfaces; a second elongated support member attached to the other of the adjacent surfaces; and an elongated seal member sandwiched between the first and second support members. In its non-deformed state, the elongated seal member may be substantially cylindrical but capable of deformation to accommodate limited lateral movement between the adjacent surfaces and varying widths of the space therebetween.
