Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems coordinate reservation scheduling information of a reservation system with personal management/organizer application. A reservation coordinating module, preferably integrated with personal organizer application, is configured to provide a user with the ability to direct the creation, deletion, modification and viewing of reservations from the user's personal organizer application. The module communicates requests from a system on which the module is installed to the reservation system and receives responses therefrom. The module automates storing or modifying associated appointments in the data structure of the personal management application in conjunction with successful reservations creation/change operations communicated with the reservation system.

Abstract: A self-service machine, such as an automated teller machine (70), that includes a plurality of vacuum pick mechanisms (10) for picking media (12), such as banknotes, each vacuum pick mechanism (10) including a pump (18), a pickline (20) connected the pump, a drive mechanism for moving the pickline (20) between a media pick position and a media release position, and a motor (33) for driving both the pump (18) and the drive mechanism.

Abstract: Apparatus for indicating the thickness of a document being fed along a feed path comprises cooperating upper and lower roll sets (20 and 32) between which a document passes. The lower roll set (20) is driven by the document transport, while the upper roll set (32) is rotatably mounted on a pivotally mounted arm (36), which is urged by a spring (42) to cause the upper roll set (32) to move toward engagement with the lower roll set (20). The upper roll set (32) includes a central cylindrical portion (30) of reduced diameter. A further roll (46) is mounted so that its circumference is normally spaced from the surface of the cylindrical portion by a predetermined distance. A timing disc (52) is mounted for rotation with the further roll (46), and a sensing device (58) is associated with the timing disc (52) to generate pulses as the further roll (46) rotates.
