Abstract: With turbine segments controlled electrically in a shaftless design, the turbine of the present invention creates high propulsion efficiencies over a broader range of operating conditions through the integration of gas turbine, electric and magnetic power systems, advanced materials and alternative petroleum-based combustion cycles.

Abstract: A method of creating an image replacement document (IRD) during two passes of a sheet material through a printing apparatus comprises building a first print file portion based upon IRD data, building a second print file portion based upon IRD data, printing with non-magnetic ink onto the sheet material at least some information based upon the first print file portion to create a front portion of the IRD during a first pass of the sheet material through the printing apparatus, printing with non-magnetic ink onto the sheet material a machine-readable code which is associated with a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) codeline to be encoded onto the IRD, printing with non-magnetic ink onto the sheet material at least some information based upon the second print file portion to create a back portion of the IRD during the first pass of the sheet material through the printing apparatus, and printing with magnetic ink onto the sheet material the MICR codeline based upon the machine-readable code which has been

Abstract: A substitute check is created for an original check which has an encode line printed thereon. Check image data which is representative of an image of the original check is received and analyzed to establish positioning of MICR characters within the encode line of the original check. An encode line of the substitute check is formatted based upon the positioning of MICR characters within the encode line of the original check such that the formatted encode line of the substitute check matches the encode line of the original check. The formatted encode line of the substitute check is printed to create at least a portion of the substitute check.
