Abstract: An electronic method and device are provided to facilitate the capture of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) data information present on negotiable instruments. As an input device, a MICR reader capable of reading magnetic ink character recognition data is provided. As an output channel, an audio jack adapted to be plugged into an audio port of a mobile phone is provided. The device is attached to an audio port of a mobile phone. A negotiable instrument is swiped through the MICR reader. If the amount of the negotiable instrument is not included in the MICR data, the amount of the negotiable instrument is entered into the mobile phone. The MICR data and amount of the negotiable instrument are transmitted to create an electronic instrument.

Abstract: A method of creating an electronic invoice is provided. A mobile application is downloaded to an operating system of a wireless electronic communication device. The mobile application is capable of processing a point of sale type operation. The operating system captures information required for invoice/receipt and payment. The invoice/receipt information is created and outputted for import into an accounting system. The payment information is created and outputted for import into a payment processing system. The invoice/receipt information is created and outputted for the customer. Upon receipt of a payment, the payment is processed.

Abstract: An opposed piston disc brake caliper has a caliper housing arranged for mounting brake shoes on each of opposite sides of a rotor. The rotor in use is disposed between the brake shoes with each brake shoe having a backing plate and a friction lining applied to the backing plate. The caliper housing has side walls extending generally in a plane parallel to a plane of the rotor and on opposite sides of the plane of the rotor which accommodate a piston. The caliper housing has mounting members for engagement with each of the side edges of each backing plate between the radially inner edge and the radially outer edge of the friction lining. The engagement is such as to substantially limit movement of each brake shoe other than in a direction toward or away from the rotor with at least one of the mounting members being removable from the caliper housing to facilitate removal of the brake shoe from the caliper housing.

Abstract: An opposed piston disc brake caliper (10), including a caliper housing (11) arranged for mounting brake shoes on each of opposite sides of a rotor which in use is disposed between the brake shoes (17), each brake shoe (17) having radially inner (26) and outer (27) edges when mounted in the housing (11) and side edges (28, 29) extending therebetween. A piston is associated with each brake shoe (17) and is operable in use to shift the respective brake shoe (17) toward the rotor for engagement therewith to effect braking. First mounting means (20) for mounting the brake shoes (17) within the housing (11), and second mounting means (41) for mounting the caliper (10) to a wheel assembly. The second mounting means (41) extending from the housing (11) on one side of the rotor.
