Patent number: 7677442Abstract: An automated banking machine system and method includes ATMs which accept checks and dispense cash to users. The ATMs are operated to acquire image and magnetic data from deposited checks to determine the genuineness of checks and the authority of a user to receive cash for such checks. Cash may be dispensed to the user from the ATM in exchange for the deposited check. The ATMs dispense cash responsive to communications with a transaction host.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Thomas A.

Patent number: 7661583Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a cash dispenser. Servicing the machine is facilitated through use of a portable diagnostic article which enables the controller to access diagnostic data stored in memory and which provides data indicative of the significance of the diagnostic data. A portable article of computer readable and writable media is also operative to cause the computer to gather data concerning the banking machine and record it on the media through a drive. The data gathered is then analyzed by a separate analysis computer.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2005Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold IncorporatedInventors: Mark Schlabach, James Meek, Damon J. Blackford, Robert W. Barnett, Joseph P. Newman, Paul Mercina, Steven Shepley, Glenda Griswold, Christyan Moauro, Nick Billett

Publication number: 20100001061Abstract: An automated banking machine operates responsive to data read from data bearing records to cause financial transfers. The machine includes a card reader that reads data from user cards corresponding to financial accounts. The machine can communicate with a host computer to cash financial checks. The machine can read check indicia, send check data to the host, receive authorization from the host to cash the check, and dispense cash corresponding to the check. The machine can also produce image data representative of the check indicia and determine whether the data can be accurately identified within a predetermined level of assurance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2009Publication date: January 7, 2010Inventors: James Meek, H. Thomas Graef, Edward L. Laskowski, Martin J. Brown, Todd Galloway, Robert W. Barnett, Mike Ryan, James R. Kay, Mark A. Ward, David A. Peters, Dale Blackson

Patent number: 7631802Abstract: A banking system controlled responsive to data bearing records includes a card reader that reads identifying data from a user card. The banking system authorizes operation of an automated banking machine responsive to computer verification of the identifying data. The banking machine can dispense cash to an authorized machine user in a cash dispensing transaction, and have the user's bank account charged for the cash amount dispensed. The banking machine is also operative to accept checks and acquire image and magnetic data from deposited checks to determine the genuineness of checks and the authority of a user to receive cash for such checks. Cash may be dispensed to the user from the machine in exchange for the deposited checks.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2008Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Tim Crews, Keith Carpenter, Mike Ryan, Laura Drozda, Wayne Warren, Victor Bell, William McCarthy, Matthew Pahl, Martin J. Brown, Dale H. Blackson, Todd Galloway, Robert W. Barnett, James R. Kay, Mark A. Ward, David A. Peters, Edward L. Laskowski, H. Thomas Graef

Patent number: 7604164Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a cash dispenser. A lockable first fascia portion when unlocked enables access to a chest lock input device, inputs to which enable opening a chest door of the machine. Opening the first fascia portion also enables access to an actuator which enables moving a second fascia portion for conducting service activities. At least one computer in the machine selectively illuminates light emitting devices for purposes of facilitating user operation of the machine. Servicing the machine is facilitated through use of a portable diagnostic article which enables the controller to access diagnostic data stored in memory and which provides data indicative of the significance of the diagnostic data. A portable article of computer readable and writable media is also operative to cause the computer to gather data concerning the banking machine and record it on the media through a drive. The data gathered is then analyzed by a separate analysis computer.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Mark Schlabach, James Meek, Damon J.

Publication number: 20080195172Abstract: An improved method, system and arrangement for treatment of urinary incontinence is disclosed, in which a portion of innervated smooth muscle (2) is transplanted and disposed around the urethra to provide a urethral sphincter (2). Electrical stimulation, by an implanted stimulator (1), maintains continuous tone in the sphincter. A remote controller (7) permits the sphincter (2) to be allowed to relax, and hence permit urine to flow out of the bladder.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2008Publication date: August 14, 2008Applicant: The University of MelbourneInventors: John B.
