Abstract:

A method of processing barcoded tickets in a document processing device including receiving a stack of barcoded tickets in an input receptacle of a document processing device. Each barcoded ticket includes a document-identifier or ticket number that identifies the barcoded ticket. At least one specific document-identifier is inputted by the operator to search for a specific document in a stack of documents. Each of the documents are transported, one at a time, past a detector, which detects the document-identifier of each ticket. A determination is made whether a detected document-identifier matches the specific document-identifier requested by the operator, and if so, the ticket in question is directed to a pre-programmed or user-specified output receptacle.

US Classification:

194206, 194344, 194350, 271185

Abstract:

An angled arrangement of a currency document handling device and a second unit and an angle arrangement of two currency document handling devices, components of the same, and methods of coupling and using the same. For example, a currency document processing system for processing currency documents including currency bills comprises a currency handling device, a first currency document receiving unit, and a first angular transport unit. The first currency document receiving unit is adapted to receive at least some bills processed by the currency handling device. The first angular transport unit is adapted to receive bills from the currency handling device and transport bills to the first currency document receiving unit. The angular transport unit is adapted to be coupled between the currency handling device and the first currency document receiving unit such that the currency handling device and the first currency document receiving units are angled relative to each other such as by ninety degrees (90).

Inventors:

- Barrington IL, US
Robert E. Fitzgerald - North Barrington IL, US

International Classification:

G11B 7/003

Abstract:

Systems and methods convert computer generated data and video into patterns of 0s and 1s for storage as a still image on camera film (e.g., 35 mm film). A system can include a user interface identifying computer generated data for conversion into a still image pattern of 0s and 1s for storage as a still image on a frame of film, a microprocessor programmed to convert the computer generated data into a still image pattern of 0s and 1s, and film imaging hardware for processing the frame of film with the still image pattern as a still image on the frame of film. The data can include at least one of: video data, pictures, text, and diagrams. The frame can be stored in a cartridge, which can contain more than one frame. The cartridge can be stored and retrieved from a multiple cartridge housing including automated storage and reading hardware.
