Abstract: Centralized check image storage system. The present invention provides for sharing check images stored in a substantially centralized storage system between and/or among banks in support of the check collection process. In some embodiments, check images are received from the capture bank via a landing zone at the centralized storage facility. These images and information supporting the check collection process can be in the form of load file. A cross-reference file including information supporting the check clearing process such as unique handles identifying the check images is received from a paying bank, possibly also via a landing zone. Check images can be identified based on these unique handles, so that the check images can be made accessible to both the capture bank and the paying bank from the substantially centralized storage system.

Abstract: The heating blanket comprises a conducting metal band (3) serving as a resistance heater, supplied with current at its ends (C,D). This is embedded between two flexible insulating sheets of material (1). The supporting band may be cut to a required length, since the metal band has a periodically repeating pattern.  The flexible heating blanket includes a fine, conducting metal band (3) which is intended to be supplied with electric current at its ends (C,D), embedded between two flexible insulating sheets of material (1). The conducting band is made up from at least two elements (3a, 3b) running in a serpentine fashion, parallel to each other but spaced apart, from one end of the sheet (A) to the other. The conducting band is fastened to at least one of the supporting sheets by adhesive, and has a periodically repeating pattern extending longitudinally down the sheet. This allows the sheet to be cut at one of a sequence of positions, in order to provide a pair of conductors with accessible connections (C, D; E, F). The supporting sheets may also have apertures (30) cut at repeating intervals along their respective edges.

Abstract: A fiber optic system (10, 210) including a plurality of optical sensors, each with an identification system (20, 120, 220, 320). The fiber optic system (10) includes a fiber (12, 112) extending a distance, a demodulator (14), and at least one coupler (16, 116), optical sensor (18, 118) and corresponding identification system (20, 120). The identification system (20, 120) is powered by light shunted from the fiber (12, 112) by the coupler (16, 116) to a modulating device (24, 124). The modulating device (24, 124) modulates the light and transmits it to a power converting device (16, 116), which transforms the light energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy powers a high temperature integrated circuit (28, 128) upon which is stored a digital identification of a respective optical sensor (18, 118). The integrated circuit (28, 128), upon being powered up, sends a modulated response (30, 130) back up to the surface through the modulating device (24, 124). Alternatively, a passive identification system (210) is described, where reflective devices (220, 320) are placed at pre-determined locations along the length of the fiber (212, 312). As the optical beam passes through the reflective devices (220, 320), identification information for a sensor (218, 318) is encoded onto the beam. An optical frequency domain reflectometer (214) generates the optical beam and detects the encoded information.

Abstract: A shutoff valve assembly for a vent pipe of a tank comprising a valve and a housing is provided. The housing is adapted to retain one end of the valve while the other end is free to oscillate. The valve has a bore positioned along its longitudinal axis and is disposed in the vent pipe or the whistling vent of a tank. When the tank is in an upright position, the bore of the valve is aligned with the vent pipe opening to provide a continuous channel connecting the interior of the tank and the exterior thereof. In the event the tank is displaced from its upright position, the valve moves in response to gravity causing a misalignment of the bore of the valve and the vent pipe opening thereby cutting off the channel and thus preventing leakage of fuel.
