DESCRIPTION: The internal capacitance value of capacitor unit 15 is calculated by measuring the rate of change of voltage per unit time in charging.At that time even if capacitor unit 15 is charged with a constant current the rate of change of voltage is not always constant due to the nonlinearity of the capacitor.That is to say voltage does not change always linearly.Therefore in order to calculate more precise rate of change of voltage the rate of change of voltage voltage and electric current are measured multiple times repeatedly at predetermined intervals for example every one second.From an average value of these measured values the internal capacitance value and the internal resistance value are calculated Step b in FIG.3. CLAIM: The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the series module at a particular moment has a respective current passing therethrough the respective current at various times defining positive negative and zero values the means for arriving at an estimate of the respective relative capacity of each capacitor by measuring voltages at each of the capacitors comprises means for carrying out a multiplicity of relative capacity measurements and averaging the relative capacity measurements each relative capacity measurement comprises at a first time when the current passing through the series module is at a value smaller than a first predetermined threshold measuring the respective voltage at each of the capacitors thereby defining a sum of the voltages representing a voltage across the series module at a second time after the current passing through the series module has exceeded the first predetermined threshold and has later dropped to a value smaller than the first predetermined threshold again measuring the respective voltage at each of the capacitors thereby again defining a sum of the voltages representing a voltage across the series module for each capacitor a difference between the respective voltage at the first time and the respective voltage at the second time defining a respective voltage changefor the series module a difference between voltage across the series module at the first time and the voltage across the series module at the second time defining a respective voltage change for the series module for each capacitor a ratio of its respective voltage change to the voltage change in the series module defining the each relative capacity measurement.

The incoin passage coin sensing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said at least one insulation film of said sensing device is a plastic film.

Any technician of that field certainly understand the importance that have the choice of the oscillation frequency of the alternating current for the linearity mentioned above.In particular it belongs to a frequency range dependent on the inductance value of the inductor 5.In other words the range frequency is related exclusively to construction parameters of the inductor 5 and it is thereforeadvantageously determined during the assembling and calibration steps of the device 1 and it will not change during its use.This allows to ensure accuracy in detecting the number of coins in each tank 2.

The user terminal of any preceding claim wherein the processor is configured to provide feedback indicating occurrence of the specified user input if at least a part of the specified user input occurs.

Thus when the controller 180 determines the user has requested the application execution icon be executed Yes in S75 the controller 180 executes an application corresponding to the selected application execution icon S80.However if the controller 180 determines the user has not requested the application execution icon be executed e.g.the application execution order input has not been detected for a predetermined time No in S75 the controller 180 undoes the highlight of the selected icon or area around the icon and touchlocks the entire area of the touch screen S85.
