  • Patent number: 12182775
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a request to display a first digital image on a user device associated with a user. The first digital image is representative of a first side of a physical check, and the physical check has sensitive information in a field. Sensitive information is deleted from the first digital image so that the sensitive information is unrecoverable and unretrievable from the first digital image. After deleting the sensitive information from the first digital image, the first digital image is displayed on the user device. In response to determining that the user has failed to pass interdiction, an interdiction factor is received. In response to the interdiction factor matching a stored interdiction factor, the user is passed from interdiction. After passing the user from interdiction, a second digital image is displayed on the user device and the field is then unmasked.

  • Patent number: 11055674
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a request to display a check image on a user device associated with a user. The check image is representative of a physical check. The at least one check image is displayed on the user device such that a set of fields included in the check image are masked. An unmask request is received. It is determined if the user has passed interdiction. In response to determining that the user has not passed interdiction, the user device receives an interdiction factor. In response to the interdiction factor matching a stored interdiction factor, the user passes interdiction and at least the portion of the set of fields included in the check image are unmasked.

  • Patent number: 9186720
    Abstract: A method of simultaneously manufacturing a plurality of crankshafts includes positioning a core system having a plurality of individual cores within a cavity of a mold having first and second halves forming an exterior shape of the crankshafts. The crankshafts' exterior shape includes a plurality of pin bearing journals and a plurality of main bearing journals. Each of the cores passes through each of the crankshafts. At least one core passes through at least one of the pin bearing journals and at least one other core passes through at least one of the main bearing journals. The method also includes introducing into the cavity molten metal to form the crankshafts. As the metal flows into the cavity and around the plurality of cores, a hollow section extending through at least one of the pin bearing journals and at least one of the main bearing journals of each crankshaft is formed.

  • Publication number: 20140367064
    Abstract: A method of simultaneously manufacturing a plurality of crankshafts includes positioning a single core within a cavity of a mold having a first half and a second half together forming an exterior shape of the plurality of crankshafts. The exterior shape of each of the plurality of crankshafts produced thereby includes a plurality of pin bearing journals and a plurality of main bearing journals. The method also includes introducing via a mechanism into the cavity a molten metal to form the plurality of crankshafts. As the molten metal flows into the cavity and around the single core, a hollow section extending through at least one of the plurality of pin bearing journals and at least one of the plurality of main bearing journals of each of the plurality of crankshafts is formed. A system for simultaneously manufacturing a plurality of reduced mass crankshafts using the above method is also disclosed.
