  • Publication number: 20190370284
    Abstract: An electronically stored financial document is either maintained in a first storage system when a parameter associated with the document is greater than a pre-selected parameter or in a second storage system when the parameter associated with the document is less than or equal to the pre-selected parameter. A request for a stored financial document is received and the requested financial document parameter is compared by the at least one electronic processor to the pre-selected financial document parameter to determine if the electronically stored financial document's parameter is more than, less than, or equal to the pre-selected parameter after the request is received. By using an interlinked interface, at least one electronic processor compares and electronically accesses one of the storage systems in response to the comparison of the pre-selected parameter to the electronically stored financial document's parameters.

  • Publication number: 20120179715
    Abstract: A method to obtain an electronically-stored financial document is disclosed. The document includes a specific document parameter, such as a record date. The financial document is maintained in an off-site storage system when the record date is later than a pre-selected date and in an on-site storage system when the record date is earlier than or equal to the pre-selected date. The off-site storage system is different from the on-site storage system. A request is inputted and compared to determine if the record date is later than, earlier than, or equal to the pre-selected date. In processing the request, a computer terminal, connected to the off-site and on-site storage systems through a processing unit, is utilized to access one of the storage systems in response to the comparison of the record date to the pre-selected date. After accessing the appropriate storage system, the requested financial document is retrieved.

  • Publication number: 20110078217
    Abstract: A method for a bank to obtain an electronically-stored financial document is disclosed. The financial document includes a specific document parameter, such as a record date. The bank maintains the financial document in an off-site storage system when the record date is later than a pre-selected date and in an on-site storage system when the record date is earlier than or equal to the pre-selected date. The off-site storage system is different from the on-site storage system. The bank receives and inputs a request for the financial document from a client and compares the record date to the pre-selected date to determine if the record date is later than, earlier than, or equal to the pre-selected date. In processing the request, the bank utilizes a computer terminal, connected to the off-site and on-site storage systems through a processing unit, to access one of the storage systems in response to the comparison of the record date to the pre-selected date.

The bank maintains the financial document in an off-site storage system when the record date is later than a pre-selected date and in an on-site storage system when the record date is earlier than or equal to the pre-selected date. The off-site storage system is remotely-located from the on-site storage system. The bank receives a request for the financial document from a client and compares the record date to the pre-selected date to determine if the record date is later than, earlier than, or equal to the pre-selected date. In processing the request, the bank utilizes a computer terminal connected to the off-site and on-site storage systems to access one of the storage systems in response to the comparison of the record date to the pre-selected date.

  • Patent number: 5419510
    Abstract: A film holder having an integral core and core for film holders, wherein the core is composed generally of a collar having an inside wall of a predetermined shape and a hub concentric with respect to the collar. The hub has an outside surface which is in part symmetrically shaped with respect to the inside surface of the collar so as to provide a film channel, and in part separated from the inside surface of the collar to provide open areas for facilitating film loading and film posting. The channel provides very easy loading of the film and yet further provides an extensive length along which the film is caused to be curvaceously bent in an over-all arcuate shape which results in sufficient friction so as to retain the film on the core even when longitudinal forces are applied to it, and yet further not subject the film to an untoward strain at any location.
