Abstract: A coin processing machine with a coin discriminator operated by a method is provided. The coin discriminator measures how a coin having an iron core covered by a layer of copper, brass, or bronze affects a coil when the coin is subjected to magnetic fields generated by the coil, external to the coin. Eddy currents induced in the coin are detected external of the coin. The discriminator induces a magnetic field in the coil by driving the coil with time varying drive signals having high frequencies. The coin discriminator receives the coin at precise positions in the magnetic field and detects the eddy currents induced in the coin by measuring the eddy currents through the coil. Then, the coin discriminator compares the measured eddy currents with predetermined values for different types of coils, and determines the structure, materials and type of the coin.

allowable range is provided. The control system in
accordance with the present invention estimates a steady-state
deviation d in a controlled object as a steady-state
deviation estimation value d' on the basis of a control

desired value y 1  is estimated as the primary estimation
value y 1 ' on the basis of at least the initial desired
value y 1  and the steady-state deviation estimation value d'.
If a primary estimation value y 1 ' is within an allowable
range, then a final desired value y 2  agreeing with an

primary estimation value y 1 ' is out of the allowable range,
then the final desired value y 2  is determined on the basis
of at least a boundary value of the allowable range. A
manipulation variable x is determined on the basis of the
final desired value y 2 .

Abstract: The apparatus and method invented are operating upon a digital image
signal obtained from an image sensor. The sensor is covered with different
colored filters and is only able to record the color transmitted through each
specific filter into the photosite or pixel. This type of sensor is known as a color
filter array or CFA sensor. The different colored filters are arranged in a
predefined pattern across the sensor. To obtain a full color image the missing
color information is estimated by a set of weighed values obtained by an inverted
gradient function. The set of weighted values is found from the neighboring pixels
in the four compass directions, north, east, west and south or is found horizontally
and vertically. The surrounding pixels are corrected by the chrominance channel
to better fit the center pixel in the luminance channel, prior to using the gradient
functions. The chrominance channel is interpolated in a similar manner and is also
corrected to better fit the center pixel before the inverted gradient functions are
applied.
