Abstract: Embodiments provide an alert management and real-time verification system. The system obtains an electronic file that includes a cashier's check data structure comprising cashier's check information for one or more cashier's checks presented at a first institution. The system automatically parses the cashier's check information into one or more cashier's check events according to routing numbers in the cashier's check information. The system sends an electronic verification request message to each second institution identified by one of the routing numbers. The electronic verification request message includes an account number and an amount of the corresponding cashier's check. On receiving a response to the message, the system determines, based on the electronic verification response message, whether the cashier's check has been verified, and sends an electronic response message to the first institution that indicates whether the cashier's check has been verified.

Abstract: Suction cup devices and apparatus for performing a picking operation. The suction cup apparatus includes a first suction device including a housing portion, wherein the housing portion is shaped to define an opening through which a suction force can be applied to enable the first suction device to grasp an item, and a rounded interior pocket adjacent to the opening of the housing portion, wherein the rounded interior pocket is shaped to contact at least a portion of the item during the picking operation.

Abstract: Finger assembly and method for performing a grasping operation. The finger assembly includes a base portion; a fingertip portion opposite the base portion; a front link portion operably connected to the base portion at a first location and operably connected to the fingertip portion at a second location, wherein the front link portion is compliant such that a distance between the first location and second location is variable during a grasping operation; and a rear link portion opposite the front link portion and operably connected to the base portion at a third location and operably connected to the fingertip portion at a fourth location.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides binding proteins, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments, which specifically bind to human IL-36 cytokines, IL-36?, IL-36?, and/or IL-36?, and block the IL-36 stimulated signaling pathways. Compositions comprising such binding proteins and methods of making and using such binding proteins are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a fraud alert management system with real-time remediation and integration with the originating system. The system obtains an electronic file that includes an exception information data structure comprising exception information representing one or more events and automatically parses the exception information into events for the customers associated with the events. For each customer, the system sends an event notification message with a link to an authentication interface of the payor financial institution. After the customer is authenticated, the system provides a user interface that displays information for each event and a display element for reporting fraud. Responsive to the customer selecting the display element for reporting fraud, the system sends a fraud reporting messages to the payor financial institution and the payee financial institution.
