Patent AU-4204893-A (AU)
Title: A fuel dispensing system
Inventor: GROSE JOHN STEPHEN
IPC: G01M3/28
Filed: 1993-07-20
Abstract: A fuel dispensing system includes a fuel reservoir (22) and a pump (24) to pump fuel from the reservoir (22) into a first leg of piping (26). A master dispenser (30) downstream of the first leg of piping has an outlet hose (38), a user-controllable switch activatable to turn on the pump to pump fuel from the reservoir to the master dispenser and a satellite dispenser (70), via a meter (28) arranged to detect the flow of fuel being dispensed through the dispensers. Electronic leak detection means periodically activates the pump when it is in a non dispensing state and monitors the meter's output for detection of flow of motor fuel indicating a leak and outputs a leak detection signal when such flow is detected. In an alternative embodiment the master dispenser can be replaced with a remote metering station for the satellite dispenser. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for image acquisition with speed compensation
Inventor: EISENBARTH CHRISTOPH
IPC: H04N1/04
Filed: 1993-07-27
Abstract: An image acquisition system includes a transport mechanism for transporting sheets of objects past a sensor. The sensor scans the objects and generates data streams which are scaled by a multiplier to compensate for the speed variation of the transport mechanism. At speeds much lower than a nominal speed, the scanning rate of the sensor is increased to generate several data streams for each scanned line, which are then combined in a single speed corrected signal stream for further processing. <IMAGE>

Title: Conversion of bias strip in a frequency-dividing-transponder tag into a tripole bar magnet to deactivate the tag
Inventor: CANIPE LARRY KEITH
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 1990-06-05
Abstract: A method of deactivating a frequency-dividing-transponder (10) that includes an active strip (12, 14) of magnetic material that, when magnetically biased to be within a predetermined magnetic field intensity range, responds to excitation by electromagnetic radiation of a first predetermined frequency by radiating electromagnetic radiation of a second predetermined frequency that is a frequency-divided quotient of the first predetermined frequency; and a magnetized bias strip (16) of magnetic material having first and second ends and disposed in relation to the active strip of magnetic material for magnetically biasing the active strip of magnetic material to be within the predetermined magnetic field intensity range only when the bias strip of magnetic material is magnetized. The method includes the step of converting the bias strip of magnetic material into a tripole bar magnet, having a pole of one magnetic polarity in a predetermined region of the strip (16) located between the ends of the strip (16), and having a pole of a different magnetic polarity than the one magnetic polarity at each end of the bias strip (16) to thereby provide opposing magnetic bias fields in opposite longitudinal halves of the active strip (12, 14) for causing any electromagnetic radiation of the second predetermined frequency that is generated in one half of the active strip to be of equal and opposite polarity and thus cancelled by any electromagnetic radiation of the second predetermined frequency that is generated in the other half of the active strip. This is accomplished by laterally passing a magnet (32) across and in close proximity to the bias strip (16) of magnetic material, with the magnet having sufficient flux density to overcome the magnetic bias of the bias strip, and with the magnet being passed across the predetermined region of the bias strip.
