Title: Coin Queuing and Sorting Arrangement
Inventor: GEIB JOSEPH J
IPC: G07D9/00
Filed: 1995-01-03
Abstract: A coin queuing and sorting arrangement comprises a coin queuing device and a coin sorting device. The queuing device receives coins of the same or mixed denomination and delivers the coins to an outlet of the queuing device in single file, in a single layer, and with a radially inner edge of each coin positioned at a common reference location. The queuing device includes a rotatable disc having a resilient top surface and a stationary queuing head having a lower surface positioned parallel to the top surface of the disc and spaced slightly therefrom. The lower surface of the queuing head forms a queuing region for aligning the radially outer edges of coins of all denominations at a common radius, and an exit channel for receiving the queued coins. The exit channel includes a radially inner wall spinning outwardly relative to the center of rotation of the disc to engage the radially inner edges of the queued coins. The inner wall extends to the outer periphery of the disc for discharging from the disc the queued coins which are advanced along the inner wall. The upper surface of at least an exit end of the exit channel is positioned sufficiently close to the resilient top surface of the disc to press the queued coins down into the resilient top surface as the coins are being discharged from the disc The coin sorting device disposed adjacent the queuing device, receives and sorts coins discharged from the disc.

Inventor: RUEBELMANN KLAUS
IPC: C12C12/00
Filed: 1996-07-16
Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing beers having yeast turbidity, in particular wheat beer, in which it is possible to metabolize virtually completely the oxygen which has unavoidably passed  into the container during packaging, and nevertheless to perform continuous pasteurization integrated into the filling device.  For this purpose, prior to packaging, yeast and beer wort are again added to beer and the yeast in the beer present in a package is destroyed within 24 hours of packaging.  By this means, sterile beer having very high flavor stability can be produced, which is also suitable for sale of canned beer and for export even to distant countries.

IPC: B60S3/04
Filed: 1996-09-03
Abstract: A washing apparatus designed particularly for road transport vehicles comprises a washing station with a pair of longitudinal rails carrying a carriage for movement along the vehicle. The carriage carries a pair of depending side arms with spray nozzles on the inside surface for spraying the sides of the vehicle. A horizontal beam is supported on a pair of lift carriages to move vertically and can rotate about a transverse axis to point forwardly, downwardly or rearwardly. The horizontal beam carries spray nozzles. The system uses sensors carried on the carriage to detect the position of the vehicle and to generate a stored matrix defining the shape. A control unit in response to the matrix moves the carriage and vertically movable element to the required position to spray the front, top and rear of the vehicle. Each spray nozzle comprises a central hub rotatable on a shaft with a pair of wand arms extending radially of the hub with spray nozzles projecting parallel to an axis of the hub so that the wands rotate about the axis.

Patent CA-2192904-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAOR PETER
IPC: B23K10/00
Filed: 1996-12-13
Abstract: An  plasma  cutter,  including  a  power  supply,  a cutting torch (with a nozzle), a source of air and a valve, is disclosed.  The cutting torch is connected to the two power source outputs (cathode and anode)   Air is supplied to the nozzle through the valve from the air supply.  In one position the valve allows air to flow from the air source to the nozzle.   In a second position the valve prevents air from flowing from the air supply to the nozzle and also vents the nozzle and torch.  The torch has a movable electrode and the nozzle is in a fixed position.  The nozzle and electrode are each electrically connected to a different one of the power outputs.  The electrode is biased (preferably by a spring) to be in contact with the nozzle.  However, air flowing into the torch and electrode overcomes the bias and moves the electrode away from the nozzle.   If the arc is absent and the user desires current, then the valve is moved to prevent air from flowing into the torch and to vent the torch.  Also, the valve is moved to provide air flow (thus purging the torch) when the power supply is powered up.

Title: Capacitor structure for an integrated circuit and method of fabrication thereof
Inventor: NG ANTHONY C C
IPC: H01L29/92
Filed: 1996-02-14
Abstract: A capacitor structure for an integrated circuit and a method of fabrication are described. The capacitor structure is defined by layers forming interconnect metallization and interlayer dielectrics. The latter are relatively thick, and provide high breakdown voltages. Multilevel metallization schemes allow for a stack of a plurality of electrodes to be provided. The electrodes may take the form of stacks of flat plates interconnected in parallel so that the capacitance is the sum of capacitances of alternate layers in the stack. Advantageously each electrode comprises a main portion (56, 60, 64, 68) and a surrounding portion (57, 61, 65, 69) having the form of a protecting ring (e.g. 57), coplanar with the main portion of the electrode. The ring prevents thinning of the dielectric near edges of electrode during fabrication, to improve control of breakdown voltages for high voltage applications. Alternative electrode structures employing a plurality of interconnected fingers, and particularly a configuration having interdigitated fingers, are provided to increase the capacitance per unit surface area. Parallel electrode fingers are stacked in vertical alignment, or offset, and interconnected to provide vertical, horizontal or inclined stacks having different patterns of polarities, thereby forming capacitors of various configurations. The capacitor structures have particular application for high voltage (>100V), low leakage and high frequency (MHz/GHz) applications.
