Abstract: A TTL compatible buffer circuit responsive to an input signal and having a controlled ramp output is disclosed and includes a low and a high output voltage driver, each driver being comprised of a Darlington pair of transistors (Q5,Q8;Q6,Q7), and each driver being separately control­led by its own control circuit. Each control circuit includes at least a capacitor and resistor (C2,R1;C1,R3) which are arranged to control the voltage at the base of the upper transistor of the Darlington pair output voltage driver. In this manner, the voltage at the high voltage driver (Q6,Q7) increases in a substantially linear manner when the input signal goes from low to high, and the voltage at the low voltage driver (Q5,Q8) decreases in a substantially linear manner when the input signal goes from high to low. The turn on time of the drivers is thus relatively long. Each control circuit further includes a transistor (Q3,Q1) which permits the respective output voltage driver to turn off quickly. With a quick turn off and a long turn on, a break before make condition is established and voltage supply line bounce due to a feedthrough circuit is eliminated. Voltage supply line bounce due to current flow between the load capacitance at the buffer circuit output and a low voltage source through the low voltage driver upon the turning on of the low voltage driver is also substantially reduced.

Abstract: A coin wrapper, suited for use in an automated wrapping mechanism, provides information concerning a coin stack wrapped therein while minimizing the amount of material needed to securely wrap the coin stack. To provide information concerning the denomination and value of coins within a wrapped coin stack, a reference line and rows of indicia are arranged along the length of a flexible substrate. A stack of coins is rolled along the width of the coin contacting side of the substrate which has a coating of adhesive thereon. The length of the substrate which is wrapped about the stack of coins is equal to or slightly greater than the length of the stack of coins, and the width is selected to provide about 1.5 revolutions about the largest diameter coins to be wrapped. Each row of indicia is spaced from the reference line by a distance correlative to the circumferential measurement of a respective coin stack, so that when a stack is wrapped, the reference line underscores the row of indicia which provides information concerning the coins within the wrapper.

Abstract: A time switch (14) that is resistant to voltage failure in the supply network (12) is to be equipped in an operationally reliable fashion so as to avoid the typical fault phenomena after a relatively long standby operation of power reserve storage devices and the relatively high costs for the storage device elements. The invention dispenses entirely with any power reserve on the basis of the realisation that during the time interval when a network (12) has failed the load (11) cannot be operated in any case, so that in this interval it is not necessary to operate the time switch (14) correctly with respect to time. Instead of this, the time switch (14) is operated with a storage device (16) for the switching instants that is resistant to network failure, and together with a radio clock (17), which, when the network (12) is once again available, determines the real time, and corrects the control state of the time switch (14) to said time. <IMAGE>
