A system and method for detecting duplicate checks during processing. The duplicate detection may be performed by a financial institution, such as a bank. The method may be implemented on a computer based system. The duplicate detection method may be automated. The method may be applied to incoming check files prior to processing of the check data to prevent processing of duplicate checks. The system and method may use a function, such as a hash function, to perform the duplicate detection. Other functions, such as a Bloom filter which may use multiple hash functions, may be used to perform the duplicate detection.

A system and method for instrumenting program instructions. A processing system includes a compiler and a profiler. The profiler is configured to instrument an application by inserting one or more instrumentation instructions in the application. During execution of the application, execution is monitored and a particular condition is detected. Responsive to the condition, a portion of the code which corresponds to the detected condition is identified. A request is conveyed for recompilation of code which corresponds to code. Prior to recompilation of the code, the profiler instruments the portion of code. Execution and monitoring of the execution continue, and instrumentation / recompilation may be repeated. Initially, relatively little of the application code may be instrumented. As execution and monitoring continues, more and more of the application code may be dynamically instrumented during execution.

By automatically adjusting the object detection mechanism of a bar code scanner from a long range mode of operation to a short range mode of operation, the scanner will remain capable of detecting and decoding bar codes even if the object detection mechanism repeatedly detects the presence of a background object. The techniques of the present invention commence when the bar code scanner is placed in a position such that the scanner's object detection mechanism repeatedly detects a background object such as a counter top or conveyer belt. The object detection mechanism is set to the long range mode of operation if it is not already so set. In the case of a stand-mounted scanner, a test is performed to ascertain whether or not the scanner is in its stand, and the method will only proceed once the scanner is resting in the stand. Next, the scanner is programmed to wait for a predetermined amount of time, after which the operational mode of the object detection mechanism is changed from the long range mode to the short range mode. At this time, the object detection mechanism no longer detects the presence of the background object. The scanner will now detect any new objects that enter the field of view of the object detection mechanism, and attempt to read any bar codes which may be present

As part of the normal crawling process, a crawler parses a page and computes a de-tagged hash, called a fingerprint, of the page content. A lookup structure consisting of the host hash (hash of the host portion of the URL) and the fingerprint of the page is maintained. Before the crawler writes a page to a store, this lookup structure is consulted. If the lookup structure already contains the tuple (i.e., host hash and fingerprint), then the page is not written to the store. Thus, a lot of duplicates are eliminated at the crawler itself, saving CPU and disk cycles which would otherwise be needed during current duplicate elimination processes.

A system and method for MICR-based duplicate detection and management identifies duplicate presented items on day one across a plurality of payment channels, prior to posting, preventing them from impacting financial institution customers by rerouting to an adjustments team. Inquiry files containing MICR data for a plurality of presented items are evaluated by a duplicate detection module. Each item presented is evaluated against all previous items based on its MICR line. Unique items are processed in the usual manner. Duplicate suspects undergo further processing. Suspects having identical MICR data, but that are not duplicates, such as NSF (non-sufficient funds) checks being re-deposited, are identified and posted. The remaining suspects go in the suspect queue of a universal workstation. After being researched, suspects found not to be duplicates are posted. The remaining suspects are flagged as duplicates and routed to an adjustor for further action.

A method and system for monitoring the behavior of at least one observable object, e.g. a network element, of a network, wherein at least one parameter of the observable object is repeatedly detected. An actually detected parameter is input to a learning process and to an analyzing process, wherein the learning process forms a reference, based on at least two detected parameter values, for describing the behavior of the observable object. The analyzing process compares the input parameter and the reference for detecting an anomal behavior. The parameter preferably is a vector which includes several values describing properties or functioning of the observable object, and is formed based on events and / or reports from the object.

Preventing duplicate ICL files and / or ICL file elements, including duplicate ICLs, items, and item bundles, from being processed for payment and / or presentment. A duplicate detection module can assign a predictable and repeatable unique identifier to each ICL file and / or ICL file element. The duplicate detection module can determine whether each ICL file and / or element is a duplicate by comparing the identifier associated with the ICL file and / or element with information stored in a record of already processed files / elements. In response to determining that an ICL file and / or element is a duplicate, the duplicate detection module can determine not to process the file / element for payment and / or presentment. In response to determining that the ICL file and / or element is not a duplicate, the duplicate detection module can store information regarding the file / element in the record. For example, the stored information can include the unique identifier associated with the file / element.

An image processor (10) has a window selector for choosing a detection window within the image, and a self similarity computation part (40) for determining self-similarity information for a group of the pixels in any part of the detection window, to represent an amount of self-similarity of that group to other groups in any other part of the detector window, and for repeating the determination for groups in all parts of the detection window, to generate a global self similarity descriptor for the detection window. A classifier (50) is used for classifying whether an object is present based on the global self-similarity descriptor. By using global self-similarity rather than local similarities more information is captured which can lead to better classification. In particular, it helps enable recognition of more distant self-similarities inherent in the object, and self-similarities present at any scale.
