20120101909 | System and Method for Issuing Negotiable Instruments by Licensed Money Transmitter from Direct Deposits - Embodiments relate to a cash card and associated systems and processes. An account structure is provided that allows a non-bank entity to indirectly provide direct deposit capabilities for funds representing pre-payments for negotiable instruments. When a direct deposit of funds into a first account associated with the individual and maintained by a first entity is detected, the total amount of the funds is transferred into a second account associated with the individual and maintained by a second entity. The first entity is a bank or other financial institution subject to federal banking regulations, while the second entity is not subject to federal banking regulations. The individual may withdraw the funds from the second account by requesting the issuance of negotiable instruments. Negotiable instruments may be issued in any dollar amount not exceeding the balance of the second account. A properly enrolled customer may make subsequent deposits into the second account. | 04-26-2012 |
20130066779 | System and Method for Issuing Negotiable Instruments by Licensed Money Transmitter from Direct Deposits - Anonymous transactions regarding prepaid negotiable instruments may be conducted. An anonymous account may be provided that is identified by an account number. Upon verification of a PIN and the account number, an individual is authorized to make an initial deposit of funds into the anonymous account, representing a pre-payment for negotiable instruments. The individual is thus authorized to request the issuance of negotiable instruments in an amount not exceeding the initial deposit of funds. When the issuance of negotiable instruments has depleted the initial deposit of funds, the anonymous account is closed. However, the anonymous account may be converted into a non-anonymous account, capable of accepting subsequent deposits, if the individual provides personal identifying information. While an anonymous account is not authorized to accept direct deposits of funds, the non-anonymous account may be linked to a traditional bank account, via a communications link, to indirectly offer direct deposit capabilities. | 03-14-2013 |

20080304919 | Adjustable pier/footing cap for creating an adjustable building foundation - I have invented an apparatus for creating an adjustable foundation, for residential and light commercial structures, that are supported on concrete drilled piers or concrete pad footing supports. The apparatus is an adjustable pier/footing cap, added to conventional drilled piers/footings at the time of foundation construction; said drilled piers are commonly used to support a building foundation in expansive soil areas and/or in other areas where upper bearing soils are weak or incompetent. The adjustable pier/footing caps are partially imbedded in the concrete drilled piers/footings when the piers/footings are poured and then into the foundation walls of the building when said foundation walls are poured. Upon settling or upheaval of the foundation, the adjustable pier/footing caps can be adjusted to lower or raise the building without replacing the drilled pier/footing with an expensive remedial piering device, and without substantial excavation around the foundation. | 12-11-2008 |

20100197472 | POWER CONTROL OF A ROBOTIC TOOL CHANGER - A robotic tool changer removably attaches a robotic tool to a robotic arm. The changer includes a tool module connected to the robotic tool, and a master module connected to the robotic arm. To attach and detach the robotic tool, the changer couples and uncouples the tool module and the master module. A master electrical signal module (ESM) affixes to the master module and a tool ESM affixes to the tool module. In accordance with design requirements, the changer applies the same power supply to both the master ESM and the tool ESM. The changer, however, selectively suppresses application of the power supply to the tool ESM, while maintaining application of the power supply to the master ESM, during the coupling or uncoupling of the master module and the tool module. In doing so, the changer enables such coupling and uncoupling, while also preventing the formation of transient electric arcs. | 08-05-2010 |
