Abstract: A device for reading credit cards (3) has a channel (1) for receiving the credit card (3). At a transition point (10), the channel (1) extends through a foreign body collecting chamber (9). A support (8) that acts as a stop for the credit card (3) prevents, together with other supports (6; 7), the credit card (3) from entering the collecting chamber (9). A deflecting surface (11) is designed in the area of the support (8) in such a way that foreign bodies introduced into the channel (1) do not block the channel but are deflected by the deflecting surface (11) on the support (8) into the collecting chamber (9).

Abstract: In a system for the transmission of data between at least one write/read station and a plurality of data Carriers, inductive coupling is used to transmit energy and clock pulses from the write/read station to the data carrier. Data is transmitted either in the opposite direction only or bidirectionally. The data carrier in accordance with the invention is provided with a random number generator (6) which can store a random number in a memory (3), preferably under the control of the write/read station. If this random number forms part of the code to be transmitted by the data carrier, a so-called rolling code access control system can be simply implemented, that is to say an access control system in which the codes are changed at regular intervals.

Abstract: A circuit which responds to an external standby command (a transition in a chip enable signal from an external device) by generating a delayed internal standby signal. The internal standby signal functions by switching selected components of the circuit (such as address buffers) from an active mode to a standby mode. In preferred embodiments, the circuit is a memory circuit implemented as an integrated circuit. The amount of the delay in generating the delayed internal standby signal is selected to achieve a desired decreased average response time to a sequence of commands (such as memory access commands) without excessive power consumption. In embodiments in which the circuit is a memory chip (such as a flash memory chip) having address access time in the range from 60 ns to 80 ns, the delay typically is from about 100 ns to about 200 ns. In some embodiments, the circuit generates two internal standby signals, one delayed relative to the other, in response to an external standby command (a first type of transition in a chip enable signal from an external device). In these embodiments, a first component receives the delayed internal standby signal (and enters a standby mode in response) and a second component receives the non-delayed internal standby signal (and enters a standby mode in response). In response to an external enable command (a second type of transition in the chip enable signal from the external device), the circuit generates two internal enable signals which enable the first and second components substantially simultaneously.

Abstract: A device and method for use in tactile communications adaptable for use by anyone able to recognize messages written in a language known to them. The devise uses a series of sequentially firing vibromechanical stimulators vibrating against the skin or other suitably tactile sensitive area of the wearer. The vibromechanical stimulators are arrange in a substantially two dimensional array over the skin and are then triggered individually and in sequence, following a set of patterns representative of the symbols in the language recognizable to the wearer to tactually convey the message. The wearer cognitively perceives the tactual stimulation as a line or lines drawn on the skin or suitably tactile sensitive area that resemble the symbols used to communicate between the message sender and the wearer.

Abstract: Novel metallohalopolymers comprising an oxyhalopolymer and a transition metal covalently bonded to an oxygen site on the oxyhalopolymer possess desirable properties of inertness, stability, hydrophobicity and high electronegativity like fluoropolymers such as PTFE. The metallohalopolymers also possess unusual superacidic properties making oxygen-containing sites on the polymeric backbone highly nucleophilic and reactive with transition metals for synthesis of stable metallized polymers without requiring exposure to destructive calcining temperatures or intermediate chelating organosilane linking agents. The transition metals can be covalently bonded directly to the polymeric support to form metallohalopolymers for use as catalysts in the synthesis of chemicals, biocides and useful articles of manufacture, such as filtration devices containing the biocidally active metallohalopolymers.
