Abstract: Polymer polyol compositions are provided which are useful for the production of flexible polyurethane foams. The polymer polyol compositions are composed of (1) a high functionality polyol, (2) a subsidiary polyalkylene oxide high in polyoxyethylene content and (3) a stably dispersed polymer. The latter component is formed by  in situ  polymerization of low molecular weight compounds within components (1) and/or (2) used in making the polymer polyol composition. The polymer polyol compositions provide stable and non-shrinking, free-­rise foam at high water levels and over a wider crosslinker and index range permitting increased density and load latitude relative to commercial high resilience polymer polyols. A process for their use and foams and articles prepared therefrom are also provided.

Abstract: A plurality of equally spaced terminals are disposed on a substantially uniformly resistive thin film at one side edge of the film. A reference potential (e.g. ground) is applied to the second side edge of the film. An energizing voltage is applied to the film at the juncture between the first side edge and a particular one of the top and bottom edges of the film. In this way, voltages are produced at the successive terminals with a logarithmic relationship with respect to the terminal positions. When a linear relationship is desired between the voltages at certain successive terminals in the low range and such terminal positions, no reference potential is applied to the second side edge of the thin film at the vertical positions corresponding to such terminals. Instead, the reference voltage may be applied to the other one of the top and bottom edges. Alternatively, no such reference voltage may be applied and terminals may be disposed at such other edge to produce the linear relationship. Each of a plurality of comparators receives an input voltage and the voltage at an individual one of the successive terminals. The comparators provide an output indicative of the input voltage. The voltages on the successive terminals in the first portion of the thin film may be calibrated by a circuit including a capacitance to indicate possible voltage deviations from the logarithmic relationship. The successive terminal voltages in the second portion of the film may be calibrated by the capacitance circuit and a constant current source to indicate possible voltage deviations from the linear relationship.

Abstract: A self-lcoking bill accumulator (10) having tamper-proof features is provided for use with a dollar bill processing machine. During use, the bill accumulator (10) is mounted to a bill processing machine. The accumulator has a double locking feature whereby rotation of an outer lock (48) by means of a key (52) is required in order to detach and remove the bill accumulator (10) from the dollar bill processing machine. This rotation of the outer lock (48) occurs prior to removal of the bill accumulator and causes a corresponding rotation of an inner lock (24, 44), which in turn positively locks the bill accumulator (10) to protect the bills (32) in the accumulator from pilferage after removal. Upon removal of the bill accumulator (10), the outer lock (48) becomes disengaged from the inner lock (24, 44) such that a separate key is required in order to "unlock" the bill accumulator (10) and remove the bills (32).
