## Abstract

A banking system is controlled responsive to data read from data bearing records. The banking system includes an automated banking machine. The machine is operable to carry out a financial transaction for a person responsive to a determination that the person is an authorized user of the machine based on correspondence between identifying data read by a reader of the machine and data store information. The machine includes a check acceptor that is operative to receive checks from authorized machine users. The check acceptor is operable to continuously move a received check along its transport path while simultaneously rotationally orienting the check into alignment with the transport path. A check determined not to have at least one property of an acceptable check is returned to the machine user. Acceptable checks are processed and stored in the machine.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An apparatus, comprising:
a cassette for holding and distributing sheet media, the cassette comprising:
a coil;
a capacitor coupled in parallel with the coil;
a rectifier coupled with the coil and the capacitor;
a regulated power supply coupled with the rectifier;
a processor coupled with the rectifier;
an envelope detector coupled with the coil and the capacitor; and
a comparator coupled with the envelope detector and the processor;
wherein a wireless signal that is received via the coil is employed to provide power to the processor via the rectifier and regulated power supply; and
wherein the processor is further operable to obtain data for operating the cassette from the wireless signal via the envelope detector and the comparator.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus set forth in claim 1, further comprising a bandpass filter coupled with the envelope detector between the envelope detector and the comparator.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The apparatus set further in claim 2, further comprising a gain stage coupled with the bandpass filter between the bandpass filter and the comparator.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the rectifier is a full bridge rectifier.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The apparatus set forth in claim 1, further comprising a data store.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The apparatus set forth in claim 5, wherein the data store includes data representative of documents stored in the cassette.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The apparatus set forth in claim 5, wherein the data store includes data representative of an identification of the cassette.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The apparatus set forth in claim 1, further comprising a transmit circuit coupled to the processor and the coil; and
wherein the processor is operable to employ the transmit circuit to wirelessly transmit data via the coil.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The apparatus set forth in claim 8, wherein a resonant frequency of the coil and capacitor is varied; and
wherein the variation of the resonant frequency corresponds to the data being transmitted.

### Claim 10

The apparatus set forth in 8,
wherein the received data corresponds to one of a group consisting of a document type, a document quantity, a document property, document ownership, document handling responsibility, a public key of a first public/private key pair, and a device operation instruction, and
wherein the transmitted data corresponds to one of a group consisting of a document type, a document quantity, a document property, a time value, a cassette identifier, a cassette property, cassette age, cassette cycles, cassette ownership, cassette history, a public key of a second public/private key pair, and a property of a one sensor in the cassette.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The apparatus set forth in claim 1, further comprising a battery.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The apparatus set forth in claim 11, wherein the battery is charged from power derived from the wireless signal.
