Abstract: Verification of a card C involves moving it through a slot S of a terminal T to derive test signals representative of pixels of a sensed card-area 12 that includes a likeness 24 (FIG 2) of the cardholder together with part 26 (FIG 2) of his alpha-numeric identifier 10. The test signals, after sampling, are quantized (94 FIG 4) against two controlled thresholds which identify each pixel of the area 12 as being darker than, lighter than, or about the same as the detected average optical density (80 FIG 4) of the sensed area 12. When digitized (96 FIG 4), the quantized signals are compared (86 FIG 4) with digital-­data signals read (78 FIG 4) from a magnetic recording 14 that was made during earlier (FIG 5) sensing of the area 12. Lamps L indicate the existence of acceptable (40; 90 FIG 4), unacceptable (42; 88 FIG 4) or uncertain (44; 92 FIG 4) overall correlation between the compared signals. A two-dimensional liquid-­crystal display D shows the correlation results graphically in binary pixel form (black/white), with pixel-to-pixel correspondence with the sensed area; operation of a button 53 expands the display D to show sub-pixels.

Abstract: In a packet exchange system for performing packet exchange by setting logical channels, individual input packets are assigned with information idicative of input sequence (IS) of the individual input packets counted in each call and the input sequence information is stored. Each time each packet is delivered, the input sequence information assigned to an input packet is stored as an output sequence information (OS) in a call to which the dilivered packet bleongs, and the status of packets of the call which are present in the exchange is decided on the basis of the stored input sequence information and output sequence informa­tion. This system further comprises a rerouting circuit (120) having buffer function and control means (3) for changing the contents of a conversion table (21) when it detects by looking up the conversion table that the number of packets remaining in the exchange which are destined for a specified output line exceeds a predetermined threshold, whereby input packets scheduled to be destined for the specified output line are temporarily stored in the rerouting circuit.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an adapter (22) to be coupled to an objective lens (18) of a microscope comprising a body member having a first coupling means (34) at one end thereof to receive an objective lens (18) of a microscope and having a second coupling means (38) at the other end thereof to receive a microscope component (14). The body member has an axial light path running longitudinally therethrough and has a radial light path which intersects the axial light path. A source of light (24) is disposed in the radial light path. A first filter (28) is disposed in the radial light path downstream of the source of light for passing light at wavelengths which excite fluorescence in a specimen to be examined in a microscope and to remove light at wavelengths where visible fluorescence emission occurs in the specimen. A mirror (30) is disposed in the intersection of the axial light path and radial light path. The mirror (30) passes light through the axial light path and reflects light at excitation wavelengths, but does not reflect light at emission wavelengths. A second filter (32) is disposed in the axial light path and is disposed above the mirror (30) and adjacent the second coupling means (38). The second filter blocks excitation wavelengths which pass through the mirror. The adapter (22) can easily be attached and detached to a conventional microscope. The adapter can provide fluorescence microscopy capability to a conventional microscope which was not designed for fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract: A photocpying machine includes a user-operating speed selector (114) to change copy mode between "standard" (low copy speed and high copy quality) and "draft" (high copy speed and low copy quality) modes of operation. The speed selector (114) selec­tively provides to a CPU (110) instructions regarding the speed at which the photocopying machine is operated. Depending upon the speed specified by the speed selector (114), appropriate control signals (130-140) will be send from the CPU (110) to the drivers (118-128) for the major components (12, 22, 32, 26, 56, 34) of the photo­copying machine (10). The drivers for these types of components are generating the appropriate signals (142-152) to directly drive their associated components. In this way, the member of photocopies may be produced per unit time and easily and greatly increased without substantially changing the copying conditions and reducing copy quality.
