Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for generating a score for a check cashing transaction. A method includes receiving from a cashing station, having cashing station data, a transaction request including check data and identity data associated with a user, and determining whether the transaction request represents a first transaction request from the user at that cashing station. If so, an enrollment validation process and identification authentication process are performed; if not, a repeat validation process and check casher identification process are performed. The method includes determining whether there is a match between at least one of check data or identity data and data in a negative file or a knowledge file.

Abstract: Protective headgear includes an outer shell rotatable relative to an inner shell via a thin layer of elastically and/or plastically yielding material disposed between and secured to the inner and outer shells. The yielding material deforms continuously but non-linearly at least in the tangential or shear direction to mitigate angular acceleration of the head during an impact. The yielding material prevents the inner and outer shells from separating or stopping suddenly to avoid imparting a large angular acceleration to the head. In one embodiment, a protective helmet includes an outer shell secured to an inner shell by a yielding material that elastically deforms continuously but non-linearly when subjected to an angular acceleration below a first threshold and plastically deforms when subjected to an angular acceleration above the first threshold.
