Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting radiation are generally described. The radiation detector comprises at least one semiconductor material, such as a thallium halide, that provides an electrical signal and optical signal upon exposure to a source of radiation. The electrical signal and optical signal may both be measured to detect the radiation.

Abstract: An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) terminal receives a transaction request from a user. The ATM terminal triggers a camera to capture a first image of the authentication media item presented by the user, where the first image of the authentication media item is embedded with a first unique code. The ATM terminal compares the first image of the authentication media item with a second image of the authentication media item that is associated with the user, where the second image of the authentication media item is embedded with a second unique code for verifying the user. The ATM terminal determines whether the first unique code corresponds to the second unique code. The ATM terminal conducts the transaction request if it is determined that the first unique code corresponds to the second unique code.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide devices that generate a job description by generating at least one job description according to a plurality of job areas and a linguistic model trained on a plurality of cataloged job descriptions, each job area including one or more assigned job skills, and displaying the generated at least one job description on a display device.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide devices that process cancelling an automatic payroll payment for an employee pay by, in response to a termination request terminating employment of an employee from an entity, determining a recommendation to cancel the automatic payroll pay according to a trained classification model and a feature vector for the employee termination. The devices train the trained classification model on prior decisions for cancelling automatic payroll payments for terminated employees and corresponding feature vectors, and display the recommendation to cancel the automatic payroll pay on a display device.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide devices that generate a job description by generating at least one job description according to a plurality of job areas and a linguistic model trained on a plurality of cataloged job descriptions, each job area including one or more assigned job skills, and displaying the generated at least one job description on a display device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for merchant processing in financial transactions may, according to some embodiments, include one or more keys within a transaction file. The one or more keys may, for example, be associated with one or more parameters defining how a transaction containing a key should be settled. In some embodiments, the transaction may be split in accordance with the one or more parameters. The split transaction may then, for example, be settled with various entities.
