Abstract: Automatic filmer capable of centering the cassette with respect to an x-ray window and measuring the width and length thereof. Oppositely disposed channels are used to center the cassette about a first center line and measure the width thereof. A gripper assembly is used to draw the cassette into the housing and determine the length of the cassette. A carriage assembly moves the cassette within the housing so as to expose the cassette to x-rays within the x-ray window.

Abstract: A method and apparatus capable of taking tomographic x-rays which can be easily adjusted to provide the desired cutting plane without moving the patient or x-ray mechanism in a vertical direction. The apparatus is provided an x-ray source and detection plate. The x-ray source and detection plate are each moveable about a predetermined path independently of each other so as to provide any desired cutting plane.

Abstract: An automated banking system, which comprises at least one remote transaction and cash dispensing unit interconnected with a central unit via a communication network is disclosed. Each remote unit is operable following a single customer card insertion, in either a first mode or a second mode, to process one or more transactions, including cash withdrawal, fund transfer and payment and deposit transactions. The central unit determines the mode of operation of each remote unit. In the first mode, the central unit communicates data to a remote unit following a request from the remote unit. The central unit may transmit information for updating the customer's card. The central unit communicates actual account balances which the remote unit reports to the customer. From other communicated data, which includes account descriptions, the remote unit determines which transactions a customer may perform.
