Title: Method and apparatus for voucher sorting and reconciliation in soft count process
Inventor: ROWE RICHARD
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2001-07-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for sorting and reconciling vouchers accepted by a gaming machine or other device is disclosed. The gaming machine is configured to generate information relating to each accepted voucher, or provide such information to a remote location. At least one apparatus is adapted to sort bill monies from vouchers retrieved from the cash box of a gaming machine. The same or another apparatus is adapted to read each voucher to determine its identity and value. At least one device, such as a computer including appropriate hardware and software, is configured to determine if the value and identity of the processed vouchers reconcile with the value and identity of the vouchers having been identified as paid by the gaming machine. In this manner, a "soft count" process is performed on a group of intermingled bill monies and vouchers retrieved from a gaming machine.

Abstract: A novel and improved method and apparatus for searching is described. Channel data is despread utilizing a matched filter structure. The in-phase and quadrature amplitudes of the despreading (410) delivered to coherent accumulators (430, 432) to sum for a programmable duration of time. The amplitude accumulations are squared and summed (440) to produce an energy measurement. The energy measurement is accumulated for a second programmable time to perform non-coherent accumulation (450). The resulting value is used to determine the likelihood of a pilot signal at that offset. Each matched filter structure comprises an N-value shift register for receiving data, a programmable bank of taps to perform despreading and optional Walsh decovering, and an adder structure to sum the resulting filter tap calculations.

Title: Arc-fault detecting circuit breaker system
Inventor: MCMAHON ROY P
IPC: H02H1/00
Filed: 2001-05-25
Abstract: An arc-fault detecting circuit-breaker system includes a normally closed line circuit breaker in series with a protected electrical circuit element whose current flow is to be interrupted upon the occurrence of an arc fault. A detector senses the rate of change with time of the current flow in the protected electrical circuit element. A silicon-controlled rectifier has a gate of the silicon-controlled rectifier in electrical communication with a detector output signal of the detector. The silicon-controlled rectifier shorts the current flow in the protected electrical circuit element in the event that the detector output signals that the rate of change of current with time in the protected electrical circuit element is in excess of a permitted maximum rate-of-change value, thereby activating the line circuit breaker.
