Abstract: Methods and systems for remote check deposit are disclosed. A check for deposit is processed without the need for a server to receive any image of the check initially. Instead, optical character recognition (OCR) data is received at the server from a mobile device. Verification processing for the check is then performed using the OCR data. If the verification process is successful, a confirmation notification is sent to the mobile device. Subsequently, after sending the confirmation notification, a check image is received, from which the OCR data was determined. The check is, in turn, processed for deposit using the received check image.

Abstract: Typically, the refueling process for a mobile hydrogen-powered machine involves driving or otherwise moving the machine to the location of a fixed, stationary hydrogen refueling station, and replenishing the hydrogen storage of the machine at the refueling station. Disclosed embodiments eliminate or reduce the need to transport hydrogen-powered machines to refueling stations. In particular, disclosed embodiments comprise mobile refueling stations that can be transported to remote work locations within an industrial environment. These mobile refueling stations may comprise their own power sources, and may also comprise a grounding rod for safety.

Abstract: A three-dimensional metal printing process includes forming a melt mix of a thermoplastic curable polymer resin with particles of metal, ceramic, or both. The melt mix is fed into an extruder forming a composite filament mixture. The composite filament mixture is fed into a fused filament fabrication printer configured to deposit layers onto a printing surface for building a desired shape. The layers of the composite filament form a green part and are cured by a UV source as the layers are deposited. A thermal de-binding of the green part occurs to remove the thermoplastic cured polymer resin and allows the mixture of metal or ceramic particles to set and hold shape as a metal skeleton structure. The metal skeleton is then sintered forming a metal part.
