Publication number: 20230416031Abstract: A sensing apparatus can be configured to detect an edge of a paper that is received by an automated transaction machine (ATM). The paper can move along a path located inside the ATM, the path having opposite first and second sides. The sensing apparatus can include a light emitter and a light detector on the first side of the path, with the light emitter positioned so that it can emit light across the path to the second side. The light detector can be configured to detect light from the light emitter and can emit a signal corresponding to an amount of detected light. The sensing apparatus can also include a control circuit that can control a flow of power to the light emitter, and the control circuit can also receive the signal emitted by the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: DAVID Z FEW, BOLEY CLINTON, MARKO SAVCIC, MICHAEL J HARTY, KEN TUROCY, THOMAS A VANKIRK, AARON CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM, DAVID NIKKEL, JASEN JAMES SMOLK, WILLIAM DANIEL BESKITT

Patent number: 11797964Abstract: An automated transaction machine (ATM) can include a housing, a display, a cash recycler, and a check receiver. The display can be mounted to the housing and directed toward an exterior of the housing. The cash recycler can be configured to receive a first note of currency from a first user of the ATM and dispense the first note of currency to a subsequent, second user of the ATM. The check receiver can be positioned in the housing, an intake portion with an inlet communicating with the exterior of the housing, and a check reader portion configured to receive a check from the intake portion, scan data displayed on the check, and store the check. The intake portion can be positioned below the display and the check reader portion is positioned behind the display.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Diebold Nixdorf, IncorporatedInventors: Thomas A.

Patent number: 11370229Abstract: An automatic transaction machine (ATM) prints on both sides of a document having a first side and a second side. A printer rotates about a printer axis allowing the printer to move between a first positon and a second position. A transport moves a document adjacent the printer in the first position. While in the first position the printer is configured to print on a first side of the document as the document passes the printer on the transport. A document spool with a spool axis receives the document from the transport and at least partially rotates the document so the first side of the document is facing toward the spool axis. The printer rotates about the printer axis to the second position to print on the second side of the document that is facing outward away from the spool axis.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Diebold Nixdorf, IncorporatedInventors: Michael J.
