US Patent:

57875316, Aug 4, 1998

Filed:

Jul 23, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/685265

Inventors:

Michael Francis Pepe - Sierra Madre CA

International Classification:

A47C 2710

US Classification:

5710

Abstract:

An inflatable pad or mattress wherein the air cells spanning a central region of the pad or mattress are extended in at least one dimension relative to the air cells of the foot and/or head region of the mattress. The heavier portions of a person's body, including the upper torso and hips, contact the higher air cells, while the lighter portions of the person's body are in contact with the shorter air cells. The pad preferably includes a single air passage interconnecting the various air cells. The air passage includes a flow-throttling device communicating with individual cells, whereby air flow from one cell to another cell is restricted to delay pressure equalization action among the cells.

Abstract:

Systems for item validation and image evaluation are provided. In some examples, a system may receive an instrument and associated data. The instrument may be received and at least one of a bill pay profile and a user profile may be retrieved. The bill pay profile and user profile may each include a plurality of previously processed instruments that have been determined to be valid and/or authentic. The instrument may be compared to the plurality of previously processed instruments to determine whether one or more elements of the instrument being evaluated match one or more corresponding elements of the plurality of previously processed instruments. Matching or non-matching elements may be identified. In some examples, one or more user interfaces may be generated displaying the instruments and including any highlighting or enhancements identifying matching or non-matching elements.

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems that perform item recognition and profile generation for dynamic event processing. A computing platform may receive a first check image containing first check data, and may generate a profile correlating the first check data to a user account. The computing platform may receive a second check image containing second check data. The computing platform may receive profile information corresponding to one or more recognized fields of the second check image, where the profile information includes the information associated with the profile. The computing platform may determine whether a confidence score indicating a correlation between the second check data and the profile exceeds a predetermined correlation threshold. Based on determining that the confidence score does exceed the predetermined correlation threshold, the computing platform may send commands directing an event processing platform to process the second check image based on the profile.
