Abstract: The invention relates to a coin deposit lock, especially for shopping carts, provided with a coin chamber and a key chamber and comprising one or two control and functional element(s). The coin (15) or key (16) is alternately prevented from being removed when the control and functional element(s) are rotational displaced between the coin chamber and the key chamber, and can only be released by inserting the other respective element. To this end, a control and functional element (11, 12; 211, 212) comprises control contours which swivel alternately into the movement path of the coin in the coin chamber or of the key in the key chamber or which are actuated by the coin or key. The fundamental principle of the invention lies in the definition of the shaping and positioning of the these control contours solely on the control and functional element and of the guide recesses in the housing (20, 200) that interact with the same. This embodiment enables, in particular, the coin deposit lock to be completely manufactured out of plastic while using only one shaped part.

Abstract: Described is an interconnection architecture between an MS-SP ring network and an SNCP ring network in a "Dual Node and Bridge and Switch" architecture through a primary interconnection node (M) and a secondary interconnection node (N) connected by an optical fibre span, said primary interconnection node (M) comprising means for carrying out a Drop and Continue (D and C) operation and a service selector (SSM) for each circuit. The architecture provides for closing said SNCP ring network (RING 2) through the service selector (SSM) of the primary node (M) of the MS-SP ring network. In this way the management of the selectors is simplified, less I/O interfaces as well as less optical fibre are used and the available band is better exploited. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A selection unit (PSU) is connected to a matrix (PSA) by P groups of common lines corresponding to P columns of the matrix. The unit controls the bit by bit selection process in each sell (PSCi,j) of the matrix. Each cell being connected to the group of common lines of the corresponding column (j). The selection unit provides on at least one common line by column for each of the P bits, the selected binary polarity resulting from the selection that is controlled by column (j). Unit for selecting a digital value for at least an element amongst a sub-assembly of C different candidates for selection forming a part of M possible elements. A digital value being attributed to each of the M possible elements, amongst N possible digital selection values. The unit uses a two dimensional priority selection matrix (PSA) comprising M x P selection cells organized in M lines and P columns, P being the number of binary elements, or bits necessary for the coding of N distinct values. The cell (i,j) corresponding to the intersection of a line element (i) and with a column of the bit (j). Each of the M possible elements corresponds to one of the M lines, to which is associated the digital selection value allocated to this element. Each of the lines receives at its element input a candidate signal element (ECi), indicating if the corresponding element is or is not a candidate for selection, and delivers at its element output a selected element signal (ESi) indicating if the corresponding element is or is not a selected element. The selection is done by an analysis column by column of the binary elements coding the digital selection values in the priority selection matrix. P = log2N, the digital selection values being coded by natural binary codes.

The system comprises a plurality of differential amplifiers, a switching network, an analog to digital converter and a controller. The system may further include a remote PC. Each differential amplifier has a high common-mode rejection ratio. The differential amplifiers are connected to terminals in the fuel cell stack at which the voltage is to be measured. An output of a single differential amplifier is chosen by the switching network, under the direction of the controller, and converted to digital values by the analog to digital converter. The digital values are used by the controller to calculate the cell voltage of the fuel cell. The controller also controls the analog to digital converter. The invention further comprises a calibration method and apparatus which are used to calibrate the measurement system before performing voltage measurements on the fuel cell stack. This invention allows the cell voltage of a fuel cell with almost any common-mode voltage to be measured using readily available differential amplifiers.
