Abstract: A container closure 24 having a brittle resin thereon adapted to fracture when the closure 24 is tampered with, to provide evidence of such tampering, has an upwardly open groove or recess 50, 52, 54 therein to retain a portion of the brittle resin. In some embodiments, (Figures 1 to 6) the closure is resilient and is a snap-fit on the container (22). 
     In another embodiment, (Figures 7 to 10), the closure comprises a pivotable portion (104) and a fixed portion (102). The pivotable and fixed portions have grooves which are filled with a brittle resin. When the rotatable portion is pivoted away from the fixed portion to open the container, a portion of the resin fractures, thus indicating tampering with the container. 
     In another embodiment, (Figures 11 to 19), the tamper evident closure comprises a closure body (202) having an end wall (224) and a skirt (220) depending from the end wall and a closure lid movably secured to the closure body. The end wall and the closure lid define an upwardly open recess. A cured brittle layer (260) is disposed in the upwardly open recess such that a portion of the layer contacts the end wall and another portion of the layer contacts the closure lid, whereby relative movement of the closure lid away from the end wall will cause a readily visible irreversible fracture of the layer and separation of at least one piece of the layer from the closure lid and the end wall. An associated method is also provided.

Abstract: For recharging the funding register (20) of a franking machine, a return code is released from the read-only memory (21) of the latter, which must be notified, along with the amount to be recharged, to an authorising control centre in order to obtain from this control centre an input code enabling the funding register to be recharged with this amount. Numerous information pairs consisting of an input code and a return code are stored in tabular form in the control centre and in the read-only memory (21) of the franking machine. These codes consist of real random numbers. Once the input code has been entered in the franking machine, a search is performed in the read-only memory (21) of the franking machine, on the basis of a program of a central electronic control unit of the franking machine, to identify the position in the table in which an identical real random number occurs. Once this identity has been established, the funding register (20) is recharged by a prespecified amount according to the table and the new return code is issued which is required for future recharging and is allocated to the last input code according to the table.

Abstract: Modern methods for testing the electrical characteristics of circuit boards and ceramic connecting modules use electron probes in order to selectively charge up line networks and to scan the charge distribution forming in accordance with the network geometry and the existing short circuits and interruptions. To be able to determine the state of charge of a contact point within a short time with the aid of an electron probe (PE) positioned on it, it is proposed to supply the released secondary electrons (SE) to a convertor (KP), to measure the secondary particle current generated in the convertor (KP) in a detector (MP, V) and to compare a signal (I) representing the secondary particle current with a threshold value (SW). Suitable presetting of the contact point potential and of the threshold value (SW) can have the result that only the secondary electrons (SE) emitted by charged contact points (2) trigger in the convertor (KP) a secondary particle current which is sufficiently high for generating a measurement signal (UA). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A neural network processing method and apparatus interconnects a plurality of artificial neurons (11) and sets a weight between the artificial neurons according to the instruction image pattern. If the number of artificial neurons generating the maximum output value is expected to be smaller than the number of the artificial neurons generating the minimum output value, the function f, which is defined as (f(x)>-f(-x)) for a positive value x, is set for each artificial neuron. If the number of the artificial neurons generating the maximum output value is expected to be larger than the number of the artificial neurons for generating the minimum output value, another function f, which is defined as (f(x)<-f(-x)) for a positive value x, is set for each artificial neuron. Then, the external input signals are supplied to the artificial neurons according to the unknown image pattern. The artificial neurons are activated to enter the input signal as a weighted sum of the other artificial neuron's output signal and corresponding weight between artificial neurons, and to generate the output signal. Therefore, when the neural network is in a stable state, the output signals of the artificial neurons correspond to the associated image pattern as for the unknown image pattern.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for the efficient generation of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes employing CRC generator polynomials of the form (1 + x)·f(x). The efficiency is achieved by independently and concurrently generating in parallel a preliminary CRC code word R'(x) corresponding to f(x) and a term R"(x) corresponding to (1 + x) over a message M(x). The term corresponding to (1 + x) is generated in a manner to have either a zero (0) state or a one (1) state. Then, the term corresponding to (1 + x) is used to modify the preliminary CRC code word to obtain an overall CRC code word R(x) being generated over message M(x). If the term corresponding to (1 + x) is a 0 state, then the overall CRC code word is obtained by shifting the bits of the preliminary CRC code word once to the left. If the term corresponding to (1 + x) is a 1 state, then the overall CRC code word is obtained by shifting the bits of the preliminary CRC code word once to the left and adding f(x) to the shifted preliminary CRC code word.

Abstract: A data base retrieval system includes a memory (16) for storing vicinity feature values of data records as search (or retrieval) objects of the data records. The vicinity feature values indicate a correspondence between data characters of the data records which are in the same vicinity. A searching device (42) obtains matching degrees between a vicinity feature value of a search (or retrieval) key and the vicinity feature values of the search objects of the data records. Data record numbers are output arranged in a descending order of the matching degrees. Since phase information of data (position information indicating the position of a search key in a record) as a factor for prolonging the search time upon execution of full-record direct searching is abstracted by a vicinity feature value calculation, a high-speed and fuzzy searching operation can be performed so that the search time depends only on the length of the search key information, and does not depend on the volume of data.

Abstract: A method and means for carrying out the method of allowing the higher layers of two nodes on a connection that uses an asynchronous link protocol to synchronize the exchange of messages so that, without knowledge of the lower data link protocols, the protocols at higher layers can complete when the data link protocols are also complete. First and second nodes are connected by a link. The upper layer of a node sends messages for transmittal to another node to the lower layer of its node and receives messages from another node via the lower layer of its node. A first message, including an initialization flag is sent from the upper layer of the first node to the lower layer of the first node. In response, the lower layer transmits a second message including the initiation flag from the first message to the lower layer of the second node. The second message is transmitted as a command or a response in accordance with the send process state of the lower layer of the first node. If the upper layer of the first node subsequently detects a fourth message from the lower layer of the first node (which corresponds to a third message from the second node) and if the initiating flag is ON in the fourth message, the primary or secondary status of the first node is determined. If the first node is primary, the first message is resent to the lower layer of the first node until a message is received having the initialization flag set to OFF. The initialization flag is set to ON in all subsequent messages to the lower layer of the first node related to the first message. If the first node is secondary, the fourth message is discarded and the initialization flag in all subsequent messages to the lower layer of the first node related to the first message are set to OFF.
