Patent EP-1857985-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ALCOCK ROBIN DANIEL
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for determining if an optically variable material (OVM) is present in or on a surface, typically of a security document such as a banknote. In some embodiments the particular type of OVM is identified. In other embodiments a pass or fail signal is generated depending on whether a specific OVM is found on the surface. The surface is subjected to at least two different wavelengths of illuminating light at a particular angle to the surface and the intensity of the light reflected and/or scattered light from the surface is determined using photodiodes. The analogue output from the photodiodes may be digitised and the digital values processed according to one or another of different algorithms described, so as to produce an output signal whose value can be compared with one or more stored reference values in a look-up table, to produce a decision signal. Comparison of the analogue photodiode output signal values against a look-up table can be used to indicate the concentration of the OVM on the surface. Methods and apparatus are described for document authentication and identification, coating quality control and document sorting, by employing the methods and apparatus described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cooling a sealed a Compact Secondary Substation (CSS), which CSS contains at least one transformer, which transformer is connected to a high Voltage input, and which transformer is connected through a low voltage switch towards consumers, where the transformer is cooled by cooling means. It is the object of the invention to perform cooling of a CSS in a way that mostly isolates the inner volume of the CSS from atmospheric air. This object can be fulfilled if cooling is performed by a heat exchanger, in which heat exchanger a first primary medium is circulated, which first medium contains heat generated by the transformer, where the heat exchanger is cooled by heat conducting towards the surrounding environment. Hereby, direct contact to the atmospheric air is totally avoided. The inner of a CSS can by use of the heat exchanger be operating as a hermetic sealed closure. In this situation, the CSS can be more reliable equipment than CSS-units using traditional air cooling. As the heat exchanger as such can be a very small component, a CSS with the heat exchanger can have a much smaller volume than a typical air-cooled CSS.
