Patent CA-2215864-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONES WILLIAM J
IPC: G07D7/12
Filed: 1995-03-08
Abstract: An improved method of generating modified scanned or master patterns for use in a discrimination system capable of identifying one or more currency bills. Each of the scanned and master patterns comprises a sequence of data values representing analog variations of characteristic information along a segment of a bill and each pattern has a leading end and a trailing end. Each of the data values has an associated sequence position. The modified scanned or master patterns are generated by designating either the scanned pattern or the master pattern for modification and inserting a predetermined number, R, of data values at either the trailing end of the sequence of data values of the designated pattern when the modification is performed in the forward direction or the leading end of the sequence of data values of the designated pattern when the modification is performed in the backward direction. This modification effectively removes R data values from the leading or trailing end of the designated pattern. Either the last R data values of the designated pattern are set equal to the last R data values of the non-designated pattern when the modification is performed in the forward direction or the first R data values of the designated pattern are set equal to the first R data values of the non-designated pattern when the modification is performed in the backward direction. Alternatively, the modified master patterns are generated by inserting R data samples at the leading or trailing ends of the master patterns and by setting the first R or last R data samples of the modified master pattern equal to zero.

Title: Mandrin contracentrifuge et systemes de montage
Inventor: HAN ERIK G
IPC: B23B31/00
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: Le mandrin comprend un corps ayant un évidement axial et un orifice transversal qui intersecte l'évidement. Des première et seconde cames sont disposées au moins partiellement dans l'orifice transversal et ont des premier et second passages, respectivement, qui font pression sur un manchon interne cylindrique et fendu, lequel tient la queue de l'outil pendant la rotation du mandrin. Le manchon interne est sollicité par un ressort pour avoir un mouvement axial par rapport au corps du mandrin et possède une extrémité supérieure conique qui est comprimée lorsqu'elle est introduite dans un manchon conique de retenue afin de retenir la queue de l'outil pendant que le mandrin n'est pas en rotation. Un manchon externe comprenant des coquilles interne et externe moulées en commun est configuré et disposé pour se déplacer axialement autour du corps. Un élément distant d'actionnement met en mouvement axial le manchon externe et les manchons internes afin de permettre l'introduction ou le retrait de la queue de l'outil dans et hors du mandrin. Un mécanisme d'engagement relie le mandrin à une broche d'entraînement et possède également un mécanisme de montage facilitant le montage automatique du mandrin sur une broche d'entraînement.

Title: Apparatus for processing sheet-like products
Inventor: MEIER JACQUES
IPC: B65H39/075
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: An apparatus has a main conveyor and feed conveyors. The main conveyor is provided with elongate receiving elements that are arranged transversely with respect to their movement path. At feed locations, the circulatory paths of the feed conveyors run over the main conveyor. The feed conveyors have clamps that are spaced apart one behind the other and are driven in circulation in a feed direction. The clamps are adapted to feed the products to the receiving elements and to discharge them to these receiving elements at the feed locations. The clamps are arranged obliquely with respect to their circulatory path. As a result, a straight line running parallel to a clamp-mouth plane and a receiving-element plane, and perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the clamp mouth, forms an acute angle with the circulatory path.

Abstract: This creation is a kind of "AC/DC rechargeable mobile phone cell". A charger is installed in a case which is composed of a panel and a back case body. The panel has a concave cabinet which can hold an eversible and locatable plug plastic body. It makes the back end of the plug's electric insertion piece pressing on the elastic conducting piece closely.  Consequently, the conducting quality~is improved. A dual-color LED and the rechargeable cells are connected across the charging circuit. When the charging voltage is lower than reference voltage, the red light of the dual LED is lighten. When the cells are fully charged, the green light of the dual LED is lighten and a low potential is output to an optic-coupling switch from a linear IC to stop charging. And then, the energy is saved and the cell's life is prolonged
