Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a compact currency recycling and accounting device and system for use wherein the device can fit under a counter and is capable of receiving, sorting and dispensing both bills and mixed denomination coins. The present invention offers the currency recycling functionality of larger safes in a more compact safe capable of fitting under the counter of a convenience store. The compact currency recycler of the present invention includes a coin recycling unit, a banknote recycling unit, a touchscreen display, a power supply, a CPU and an integrated printer. To overcome the challenges of limited access to only the front of the device in these under counter applications, the device relies upon a sliding, coin-receiving tray and sliding touchscreen display. Additionally, the banknote recycler and the coin recycler are able to slide into and out from the front of the device for ease of access.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating textile materials so as to facilitate transfer of an image thereto using a dye sublimation transfer system are provided. The compositions are applied to the textile in the form of an aqueous pretreatment composition, which comprises a polymer resin and a crosslinking agent. The resin and crosslinking agent are cured upon the textile material to form an image-receiving area. The sublimation transfer system is then applied to the image-receiving area to form a finished, image-bearing textile product.

Abstract: A patentability search and analysis system can, based on a submission, perform a patentability search that finds prior art relevant to the submission. An example system can operate to indicate the relevancy of prior art documents discovered in the search, and categorize the art. The system can determine a patentability indicator (e.g., a patentability score) representative of the likelihood that a patent will be granted on a patent application representative of the submission. The system can, based on an analysis of filed patent applications, provide rejection and allowance rates for the claims of those applications having a similar patentability indicator value to that of the patentability indicator. The rejection and allowance rates can be for the patent office as a whole, the art unit, or the examiner. Additionally, the system can provide a “confidence level” representative of the strength of the patentability indicator.

Abstract: A method may use location information to transmit alert information to a communications device. Such a method may include receiving location information identifying a physical location of a mobile device; responsive to receiving an indication of communication intended for the mobile device, selecting an alerting tone based on the physical location of the mobile device; and providing instructions to adjust an alerting mechanism of the mobile device based on the selecting of the alerting tone. Other methods and systems are also provided.
