An automated system for delivery of messages to multiple recipients, and for processing of responses to the messages, includes a message client, message server, and a system database. A message is created using a universal message form. The message content can be translated into multiple formats and sent to one or more different recipients using one or more different types of messaging devices, including pagers, e-mail readers, telephones, cellular telephones, personal computers, fax machines, and voice mail systems. A recipient profile manager allows each recipient to select the messaging devices to be used for message delivery as well as preferred messaging schedules, priorities, and message security. Receipt of the messages by the recipients is verified, response requirements collected and consolidated from multiple sources and presented to the message originator in a structured format.

A system and method which allows an individual customer to select his or her own personal identification number for an ATM card through use of a telephone line. The system generally comprises a voice response unit linked to both existing telephone networks and a card encoding/embossing unit. The voice response unit is interactive to allow the acquisition and storage of data to be encoded. The system voice prompts, stores, and voice confirms the client identification data and transaction order number to the customer representative. The system then voice prompts, stores, and voice confirms to the customer his or her chosen PIN outside the range of perception of the customer representative. The system receives the requested PIN and combines it with the existing client data base. The system generates the initial encoding data and enters the data into the database. The appropriate transaction order number in the voice response unit is located, and the selected PIN is accessed. The PIN is incorporated into the encoding database using the existing client PIN encryption algorithm to calculate the PIN offset. The encoding data base is transmitted to the card embossing the encoding machine for production of the ATM card.

A restrictive insert for a microwave oven cavity is disclosed including a front plate having a substantially rectangular opening thereon and a horizontally disposed platform attached to the front plate and extending into the microwave oven cavity thereby restricting access to the interior of the cavity to objects of a predetermined cross sectional area.

An apparatus for mechanically extracting fish roe utilized in conjunction with a continuous operation to butcher and clean fish, especially salmon. After head removal, each fish traverses along a V-shaped trough, tail first and belly up, through side compressing (but resilient) rollers, vertically disposed, forcing the roe sack out of the fish body through the opening provided by the head removal. The trough has a lower opening strategically located relative to the rollers to allow the fish roe to drop by gravity to a collecting receptacle.

A central twin or single chain conveyor with abutments moves crabs through a centering device, beneath leg hold-downs and into an intersecting chain having projections that strike the carapace's leading edge to pivot it away from the crab body, and into a guide that, with the chain carrying the projections, will transport the carapace to a cross conveyor for removal. A central pipe, closed at its upstream end, is stationarily positioned to enter the body cavity and remove the viscera from the crab body, and travels in the body cavity while cleansing liquid is sprayed through holes in the pipe to clean the body cavity and the crab is guided by the pipe. Rotatably driven brushes biased into the crab body will, along with the water sprayed, remove the gills. The central conveyor has link support surfaces on opposite sides of a central plane of symmetry to space the crab body above the central portion of the chain so that a central rotating saw may saw the crab body into two sections, each with the legs attached. Thereafter, biased pivoting shoes press each crab section against a stationary concave guide surface to rotate the crab section as the legs are being sawed from the body section along an arcuate cut line, aided by the central chain that pushes the body into the saw, permitting the legs to lag slightly behind, until half the legs are severed. The central chain drops and the pair of outer chains pushes the remaining legs through the saw, permitting the body to lag.
