Abstract: The coin identification device comprises a gravity fed chute structure having an opening for receiving a coin to be identified, walls to guide the coin as it moves through the chute and an opening for the coin to exit. A wake-up circuit with sensing coils mounted near the chute opening provides an output signal when the presence of a coin is detected. Two coin sensing circuits, each having an oscillator with a particular coil arrangement are used to sense the characteristics of the coin passing through them. The first coin sensing circuit includes a coil arrangement having a coil mounted on the chute with its axis in the direction of the coin path such that the coin will pass through it and forming part of a first oscillator to create lines of flux parallel to the coin path. The second coin sensing circuit includes a coil arrangement having a coil mounted on a U-shaped core with two substantially parallel legs connected at one end by an arm that is mounted about the chute to have the coin pass in the gap between the core legs. The second coil arrangement forms part of a second oscillator to create lines of flux perpendicular to the plane of the coin passing through the chute. The first and second oscillators are adapted to oscillate at one or more base frequencies. The frequency shift of the first oscillator is measured as the coin passes through the first magnetic field and the frequency shift of the second oscillator is measured as the coin passes through the second magnetic field to generate signatures of the coin characteristics. A microprocessor compares the generated signatures to known coin signatures to identity of the coin.

Abstract: When a backrest (12) of a seat (10) is pivoted, the centre of gravity of the person sitting or reclining in the seat (10) is changed. This results in the risk of the seat (10) together with its supporting frame tipping over when the inclination of the backrest (12) is changed. According to the invention, it is envisaged that when the backrest (12) of the seat (10) is pivoted, the seat surface (11) and preferably also the backrest (12) can be displaced on a horizontal path with respect to the supporting frame. This enables the change in the centre of gravity which occurs in a horizontal direction when a person is transferred from a sitting position into a reclining position or vice versa to be compensated for. As a result, the centre of gravity of the person does not change, at least in a horizontal direction, if the backrest (12) is adjusted. The risk of tipping over when the backrest (12) of the seat (10) is pivoted up or down is thereby avoided. It is furthermore envisaged, according to the invention, to couple the seat (10) releasably to the supporting frame. The supporting frame can be a wheeled carriage, chair frame or the like for children or disabled people, in particular for young disabled people.

Abstract: A common channel signaling system interconnects two home location registers. A data administrator responds to a network operator request by sending commands to a first (originating) home location register to have subscriber data extracted and formatted for communication over the common channel signaling system. Prior to communication, the first home location register verifies a common channel signaling system functionality level of a second (destination) home location register. If verified, the communication is sent, unformatted, and the included subscriber data stored. A data network and service management access layer further interconnects the two home locations registers. The data administrator responds to a generic network operator migration request by generating home location register specific commands instructing the first home location register to extract subscriber data for transfer over the data network and through the service management access layer to the second home location register for storage. Transfer considerations are also evaluated to select either the common channel signaling system or data network for the migration.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of addressing and translating addresses in a network, such as a telecommunications, cellular or transportation network. A first subscriber has a voice line (502) and a telefax line (504). A second subscriber has a voice line (602) and a telefax line (604). All of the particular subscriber's lines need not appear at a single central office switch, but may appear at many different central offices throughout the public switched telephone network. Software required for the embodiment of the invention are shown as resident in two central offices (500, 600) and a service control point (800). The system and method in a telephone network assign a directory number to each user, and functional property code(s) to each device a user employs. The same directory number is then used to reach the user, where the system will automatically use the functional property code of each device to reach the user's voice line (502, 602), cellular line, fax line (504, 604), data line or other telephone network device.

Abstract: An optical component (11) comprises two transparent flat bodies (12, 13) each having grooves (16) or other surface features on one of its faces (15) which interpenetrate when the two bodies (12, 13) are placed face-to-face. The shapes of the grooves (16) or other surfaces features are such that they touch in some places (20, 22, 23) and are spaced from one another in others (18, 19) to form voids (24) within the composite body (11) so formed. These cavities (24) assist in determining total internal reflection of incident light at certain angles. Composites bodies formed from two face-to-face optical components may be used as daylighting screens both to direct light towards an object such as the interior of a building (through an opening) or to screen light from it by diverting it away therefrom.

The seat assembly includes a seat track mechanism having a lower track member (18) and an upper track member (20) supported by the lower track member (18) for movement between forward and rearward positions. An incremental locking mechanism is mounted between the upper and lower track members (18) for locking the track members in a desired position and for unlocking the track members to allow the upper track member (20) to move between the forward and rearward positions. A slide actuator is disposed adjacent the locking mechanism and is moveable to an engaged position for disengaging the locking mechanism and moving the upper track member (20) to a forward dump position. The seat assembly (10) also includes a positioning device which comprises a locator mounted to the upper track member (20) and moveable with the upper track member (20) as the upper track member (20) is moved to the forward dump position. The locator is interconnected to the slide actuator wherein the locator moves between a release position allowing the upper track member (20) to freely move relative to the lower track member (18) and a blocking position to align with a fixed stop which limits the movement of the upper track member (20) to a predetermined stop position upon rearward movement of the upper track member (20) from the forward dump position.
