Title: Coin selector for coin-operated machine and error detecting method against deceit in coin insertion
Inventor: KUROSU MAKOTO
IPC: G07D5/08
Filed: 1992-12-15
Granted: 1994-10-13
Abstract: A coin selector has a coin passageway where coins are inserted. A magnetic sensor inspects the coins through the coin passageway, and generates an inspecting signal, which a controller evaluates to generate an acceptant or unacceptant signal responsively. A gate plate responds to the acceptant or unacceptant signal, and provides two chutes selectively with the inspected coins. An accepting chute passes acceptable coins. A returning chute returns unacceptable coins. A photo sensor detects the acceptable coins through the accepting chute, and generates a detecting signal. Counters are adapted to counting, respectively, the acceptant signal in increment and the detecting signal in decrement. The controller adds together two counts of the counters, evaluates a sum of the addition, and generates an error signal in accordance with the sum evaluation. The error signal is utilized for implication of possible deceit or imposture of a player who inserts the coins. <IMAGE>

Title: Alkyl-substituted cellulose-based sustained-release oral drug dosage forms
Inventor: SHELL JOHN W
IPC: A61K47/38
Filed: 1993-03-17
Granted: 1996-05-02
Abstract: Sustained release oral drug dosage forms that comprise a tablet or capsule of a plurality of particles of a solid-state drug dispersed in alkyl cellulose such as hydroxyethylcellulose or hydroxypropylcellulose. Once ingested the tablet or capsule disintegrates to disperse the particles into the stomach where they imbibe water to cause them to swell and also to become slippery, thus enhancing their retention in the stomach. Imbibed water from the gastric fluid dissolves the drug entrapped in the particles and the resulting solution diffuses from the dispersed particles, assuring that no solid drug, which is more irritating, contacts the mucosal tissue. A number of embodiments of the dosage form utilizing different drugs are exemplified and the benefits are explained. Aspirin is one example.
