摘要:
A method of enabling remote deposit of checks includes receiving at a second site a plurality of check images and a plurality of entered dollar amounts, wherein the check images were generated at the depositor site by scanning the checks and the entered dollar amounts were manually entered at the depositor site. Each of the entered dollar amounts correspond to a respective one of the check images. The check dollar amounts are read from the check images at the second site using character recognition, and certain of the entered dollar amounts are used as hints to improve the accuracy of the character recognition. The enhanced character recognition results are provided to the depository bank along with the check images to enable the checks to be deposited in the depositor's account.

A method of processing checks includes obtaining first information relating to the checks that is compiled by an operator using a calculator, such as by scanning a calculator tape, wherein the first information includes a first number of first dollar amounts, each of which corresponds to a respective one of the checks. The method further includes scanning the checks to create a plurality of check images, obtaining from the check images a second number of second dollar amounts, each corresponding to a respective one of the check images, determining whether the first number is equal to the second number, and providing an error indication if the first number does not equal the second number (which is an indication that a misfeed has occurred).
摘要:
A number of methods of processing checks are provided that enable the various parties involved in processing/clearing the checks to be able to audit the movement of the check, and specifically an image of the check, through the check processing/clearing system. In particular, cryptographic techniques are employed allow the various parties involved in processing/clearing the checks to be able to identify what person and/or process performed an operation on the check, such as scanning the check to create the check image or performing optical character recognition on the check image to obtain data therefrom such as the amount of the

An ink jet ink composition includes an organic solvent, a binder, and a colorant. The colorant is selected from at least a first pigment and a second pigment. If the ink composition comprises carbon black, the carbon black is present in an amount less than 30% by weight of the total pigment content.

A method of processing a check prior to electronically depositing the check includes steps of (a) attempting to print a cancellation mark on the check using an energy emitting ink, such as a luminescent ink, (b) radiating first energy, such as UV energy, toward the check, (c) determining whether second energy is emitted from the check as a result of the radiated first energy impinging upon the energy emitting ink present on the check, and (d) allowing the check to proceed to electronic deposit only if it is determined that the second energy is emitted from the check. Also, an apparatus for electronically depositing a check that implements the method.
摘要:
The game apparatus has: a rotating bin containing at least one game piece; a moveable claw for grabbing the at least one game piece; a catapult for launching the at least one game piece; and a target area for receiving the at least one game piece; wherein the moveable claw places the at least one game piece on the catapult, and wherein the catapult launches the at least one game piece at the target area. The method of playing the game having a plurality of game pieces and having a target area, has the steps of: selecting at least one of the game pieces at a first location; moving the selected game piece to a second location; and catapulting the at least one of the game pieces from the second location toward a target area. The step of selecting may have the steps of rotating a plurality of game pieces, selectively stopping rotation of the plurality of game pieces, and picking up at least one of the game pieces. The step of catapulting may have the steps of aiming the catapult toward a target area and launching the at least one of the game pieces toward the target area.

The present invention provides a way to access a secure environment by virtue of a right to access another secure environment. The present invention is directed to, in a general aspect, a method of authenticating membership for providing access to a secure environment. The environment for which access is requested can be a network environment, such as, for example, an Internet, containing a first secure domain and a second secure domain. Network connections can be made using TCP/IP protocols. Claimants inside and outside of the first secure environment are afforded access to the second secure environment. The first secure environment uses its own authentication information, such as a database of user names and passwords, for authenticating claimants. In order for an outside claimant to gain access to the second secure environment, the outside claimant must have previously been an inside claimant. When the inside claimant accesses the second secure environment, the server of the second secure environment stores location information on the claimant's computer. The method allows for authentication of claimants for providing access to several secure environments based on access to a first secure environment.
摘要:
A method of generating electronic and/or paper versions of electronic and paper documents that represent the documents contained in a document set, by placing an identification on at least one document in a set of documents that uniquely identifies the set of documents; and placing an identification on each paper document that comprises the set of documents to uniquely identify each document in the set of documents so that one may determine whether or not the document or documents are complete, i.e., they contain all the verbiage and graphics that have been prepared, and no section of a document or document is missing.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for fabricating extremely robust opto-electronic devices on a monolithic support structure is provided. Incorporated into the support structure are registration structures that are used to quickly and accurately align the various components associated with the device, typically eliminating the need for manual component alignment. The registration structures are fabricated using conventional lithographic techniques, offering alignment accuracy of a micrometer or less. Utilizing the registration structures, a gain module is fabricated that is comprised of at least a pump laser, an optical element, and a solid state gain medium. The pump laser is preferably a semiconductor diode laser that pumps the edge of the gain medium, thus eliminating many of the difficulties that arise from end pumping the medium. The optical element, interposed between the pump laser and the gain medium, collimates and/or focuses the emissions from the pump laser onto the laser medium in such a manner as to optimize the efficiency of the module. The gain module may include several pump lasers, thus increasing the achieved output power. The gain module preferably projects through a cutout in a miniature optical bench. The optical bench is comprised of a material with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, thus providing thermal stability. The surface of the optical bench is metallized, preferably in a pattern of gold pads. Optical components to be attached to the optical bench are metallized as well, thus allowing the components to be soldered into place. The optical bench is used to form various laser systems utilizing the integral gain module.

In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a method for embedding key information into a printed document is disclosed. The method comprises creating a first section comprising a first ink having a first color under white light; and creating a second section comprising a second different ink. The second ink comprises a fluorescent ink and has a second color under white light which is substantially the same as the first color, and the fluorescent ink has a fluorescence when subjected to fluorescent-exciting radiation. The first section and the second section are visually indiscernible from each other on the printed document in white light. Also, the second section comprises key information, which is selected or highlighted by a user during creation of the document, and the first section comprises non-selected information.
