Abstract: A computing platform is configured to (i) use a deposit limit model to determine a deposit limit for an account holder of one or more deposit accounts, wherein the deposit limit comprises a monetary limit on a cumulative amount of deposits that the account holder is permitted to make into one or more deposit accounts during a time window, (ii) receive, from a client device associated with the account holder, an indication of a request from the account holder to make a new deposit into a deposit account, (iii) determine whether the deposit limit for the account holder is violated by the new deposit, and (iv) either (a) accept the new deposit if the deposit limit for the account holder is not violated by the new deposit or (b) reject the new deposit if the deposit limit for the account holder is violated by the new deposit.

Abstract: An apparatus for bundling bars comprises an accumulator rotatable about a horizontal axis. The accumulator has a plurality of notches spaced angularly around its axis. A drive rotates the accumulator about its axis to sequentially locate the notches at a first station at which long bars are received in the notches and accumulated into batches; a second station at which the batches are tied into bundles; and a third station at which the bundles are delivered from the notches to a bundle collector.

Abstract: Apparatus for bundling bars comprising an accumulator rotatable about a horizontal axis. The accumulator has a plurality of notches spaced angularly around its axis. A drive rotates the accumulator about its axis to sequentially locate the notches at: a) a first station at which long products are received in the notches and accumulated into batches; b) a second station at which the batches are tied into bundles; and c) a third station at which the bundles are delivered from the notches to a bundle collector.
