A method of detecting fraudulent or erroneous data from a transaction data set is provided. A first transaction record having a plurality of key values is selected from a transaction record database. One of the key values is selected from the selected transaction record. The transaction record database is then queried for transaction records having the selected key value. A second database is compiled of transaction records that contain the selected key value. At least one other key value is then selected from the originally selected transaction record, and the transaction record database is again queried for transaction records also having the second key value. The results of the fist, second and any subsequent queries are added to a second or a suspect transaction database. Then, using the uncovered records, the transaction database is queried for the use of key values common to the uncovered set of transactions to see if additional records are suspect. A list of queried key values is maintained to prevent the unnecessary or redundant use of the same query of the transactions. Risk coefficients of levels of fraud or mistake are assigned to the transaction records which have one or more common key values to the records uncovered as a consequence of the database queries.

A screen retention mechanism for use with vibratory separators is disclosed. The screen retention mechanism includes a structural frame mounted to a vibratory separator into which a plurality of lightweight and flexible screen elements are inserted into multiple tows of perforated screen supports. The perforated screen supports are bonded to the structural frame and are aligned parallel to the direction in which solids are conveyed by a vibratory motion. The invention further features an improved retention mechanism whereby screen elements are conveniently and selectively restrained.

A high volume testing / formatting process is provided for Universal Serial Bus-based (USB-based) electronic data flash cards (USB devices) that meets the increasing demand for USB electronic data flash cards (USB devices). A test host is simultaneously coupled to the multiple USB devices (e.g., using a multi-port card reader or a probe fixture), a controller endpoint value is read from each of the USB devices and verified with a known good value, and then testing / formatting is performed on each of the USB devices by writing predetermined data into each USB device in a pipelined manner, then reading out and testing the predetermined data. In one embodiment, the test host implements a special USB driver that blocks standard USB registration procedures upon detecting the plurality of USB devices. Control and / or boot code data are written onto the flash memory device (i.e., instead of being provided on a controller ROM).
