Publication number: 20120023018Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) operates responsive to data read from data bearing records to cause financial transfers. The machine includes a user interface (12) including an opening (20). Users of the machine deliver individual sheets and stacks of sheets to and from the machine through the opening. Stacks of sheets may include sheets such as notes, checks, or other documents. Stacks input to the machine may include mixtures of various types of sheets. The machine operates to receive notes, process checks, and perform other operations. Notes received in the machine may be recycled and dispensed to other users. Checks processed by the machine may be imaged by an imaging device, cancelled, and stored in the machine or alternatively returned to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Keith Carpenter, Craig Hockman, Willis Miller, Laura Drozda, Paul Burns, Thomas B.

Publication number: 20110210288Abstract: The present invention provides for the preparation of an “optimized” VPO4 phase or V—P—O/C precursor. The VPO4 precursor is an amorphous or nanocrystalline powder. The V—P—O/C precursor is amorphous in nature and contains finely divided and dispersed carbon. Throughout the specification it is understood that the VPO4 precursor and the V—P—O/C precursor materials can be used interchangeably to produce the final vanadium phosphates, with the V—P—O/C precursor material being the preferred precursor. The precursors can subsequently be used to make vanadium based electroactive materials and use of such precursor materials offers significant advantages over other processes known for preparing vanadium phosphate compounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2011Publication date: September 1, 2011Inventors: Jeremy Barker, Richard Gover, Paul Burns, Aiden Bryan

Patent number: 7993349Abstract: The disclosed cranial flap clamp includes first and second clamping members and an extension member. A portion of the first member is positionable against inferior surfaces of a bone flap and skull and a portion of the second member is positionable against superior surfaces of the flap and skull. The extension member extends from the first member through the second member and fits between the flap and skull. Movement of either of the clamping members urges the inner surface of the first member against the inferior surfaces of the flap and skull and urges the inner surface of the second member against the superior surfaces of the flap and skull. The securing instrument includes features useful in cutting or crimping the extension member. The tension limiting assembly provides variable designs and combinations for limiting the tension placed on, and exerted by, the securing instrument during use.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2004Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Synthes USA, LLCInventors: James P Hearn, John H Manthorp, Sean H Kerr, Bryan Monro Armitage, Paul Burns, Urs Wigger

Publication number: 20090313997Abstract: A unitary, hybrid engine which includes an internal combustion engine which is used both for locomotive and heat generation externally of the cylinders of the combustion engine, wherein the generated heat is employed in conjunction with an evaporator to generate steam, which is then stored in an energy accumulator which retains the stored energy by way of a pressured water containment unit. The pressurized water containment unit accretes the energy and, upon attainment of a predetermined pressure and liquid level, the steam is transmitted to one or more of the cylinders of the unitary engine to provide the motive power to the unitary engine. The engine includes control systems to permit the sole use of steam during such times as may be required for environmental or pollution control requirements. The control systems may also selectively permit the use of steam in one or more of the cylinders of the engine simultaneously with the use of fossil fuel in others.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2008Publication date: December 24, 2009Inventors: Frederick John Bayley, Michael Burns, Martin Smaller, Marco Cucinotta, Paul Burns
