Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a currency note dispenser having a currency cassette, a note picker, a note transporter, and a note presenter. A  cassette tambour door automatically opens during insertion of the cassette into the dispenser. The picker can pick notes through the opening. A spring loaded housing wall tab retains the picker shaft in mating connection with a drive pin. The transporter can move notes vertically and horizontally. The transporter includes belts between an idle shaft and a drive shaft. The idle shaft is vertically movable relative to a drive shaft to maintain belt tension. The transporter also includes convexly tapered rollers that automatically recenter a loose belt. A presenter gate is at a note dispensing outlet of the machine. The gate is opened by actuating a lever linked with an arm connected to the gate. The gate opens by moving a pin upward in an angled slot.

Abstract: A fibre distributor is used for air-laying fibres on an endless, air pervious forming wire in a plant for producing non-woven webs. The fibre distributor comprises a forming head with a perforated bottom and rows of rotatable wings situated at a distance above the bottom for sweeping supplied fibres along the rows of wings in an air stream before they successively leave the forming head through the openings of the perforated bottom for being deposited in a layer on the upper part of the forming wire. The fibres are inclined to form nits. The wings are therefore adapted to rotate with an optimal speed of rotation in an interval where the fibres' inclination to form nits changes from being lesser to being larger when the rotation speed of the wings grows.

Abstract: A cyclone gasifying combustion burner and its operation is described. The burner has an inner cylindrical wall with a contour chamber feeding combustion air into the solid fuel support end where a combustible material forms a fuel bed. The inner cylindrical wall has at least two series of inclined air jet holes of substantially predetermined diameter and disposed at substantially predetermined locations therein to create a unidirectinal cyclone within a combustion zone defined within the inner cylindrical wall. The air jet holes are disposed at a tangential and vertical angle whereb the combustion air is drawn into the inner cylindrical wall and creates a cyclone flow to mix with the combustion gases released from the flaming pyrolysis fuel bed and causes the combustion gases to flow in a cyclone path within a reaction zone to increase at least one of the residency time, mixing and turbulence time of the combustion gases and simultaneously precipitate suspended particles against an inner surface of the inner cylindrical wall whereby the particles are caused to gravitate to the fuel bed where they are removed in a controlled manner during the operation of the burner. The cyclone combustion burner therefore substantially reduces the emission of pollutants to the atmosphere.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to attenuated swine influenza viruses having an impaired ability to antagonize the cellular interferon (IFN) response, and the use of such attenuated viruses in vaccine and pharmaceutical formulations. In particular, the invention relates to attenuated swine influenza viruses having modifications to a swine NS1 gene that diminish or eliminate the ability of the NS1 gene product to antagonize the cellular IFN response. These viruses replicate in vivo, but demonstrate decreased replication, virulence and increased attenuation, and therefore are well suited for use in live virus vaccines, and pharmaceutical formulations.
