Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) includes a user interface (12) including an opening (20) for users to deliver and receive individual sheets and stacks of sheets to and from the machine. The machine includes a sheet handling mechanism therein including a first transport path (46) and a second transport path (42). Various devices for dispensing and receiving sheets (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40) are positioned adjacent to the second transport path and dispense and/or receive sheets therefrom. The second transport path meets the first transport path at an intersection (60). The machine further includes a third transport path (74). The third transport path has sheet dispensing and receiving devices (62, 64, 66, 68) in operative connection therewith. The third transport path intersects the first transport path at a second intersection (76). The machine includes control circuitry (44) which controls the dispensing and movement of sheets along the sheet paths in response to inputs by customers. Sheets are moved along the sheet paths so that sheets are selectively stacked or unstacked as they move through the intersection.

Abstract: A dry powder inhaler (20) with a slider (24) for incrementally advancing a blister disk (34), for providing doses of dry powder medicament, with the blister disk (34) rotatably supported by a spindle (48) on a deck plate (42) of the inhaler (20). The deck plate (42) has a powder port (94), an advance slot (44), and a lifter slot (46) extending through the deck plate (42). The slider (24) attached to the deck plate (42) is movable between an open, and closed position. When the slider (24) opens, the lifter (50) moves up the ramp (72) of the slider (24) shearing open a blister (39), the blister (39) contents mix with air, and are then inhaled by a patient. As the slider (24) moves back to the closed position, the lifter (50) withdraws, and an advancing finger (84) turns the blister disk (34) to the next blister (39), positioning the blister (39) for opening, to provide the next dose to the patient. A turbine (230) spins up to a high speed driven by the flow of the patient's inhalation. The turbine (230) is connected to a shaft (246) to turn a propeller (226) located within a mixing chamber (224).

Abstract: A remote emissions sensing system is provided with NO<SUB>x </SUB>detection capability. First, a reading of the ambient NO<SUB>x </SUB>concentration is taken just prior to each vehicle passing through the system. This measurement accounts for any ambient NO<SUB>x </SUB>concentration that may be lingering from the exhaust of a previous vehicle. Next, the system takes a blocked reading when the vehicle is located in the path of the beam. This reading accounts for any ambient or system noise that may exist. Finally, the system takes a reading of the exhaust plume as the beam passes through the plume. A processor determines the portion of the reading due to the exhaust plume by subtracting the ambient and blocked readings from the exhaust plume reading. As a result, a more accurate exhaust concentration reading is provided. Additionally, the system may process exhaust plume readings only in a predetermined wavelength band associated with the known absorption spectrum of NO<SUB>x </SUB>so that data points for which there is no significant absorption of NO<SUB>x </SUB>may be eliminated. Thus, any noise or other interference in the non-absorptive wavelengths are minimized. Also, changes in the intensity of the radiation are compensated by subtracting a baseline intensity from each signal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de préhension (27) pour un support de données discoïde (9) comportant une ouverture centrale de préhension (29). Le dispositif de préhension comprend un élément de préhension (35) pouvant être déplacé d'une première position, dans laquelle le support de données est saisi par l'élément de préhension, à une seconde position, dans laquelle le support de données est libéré par l'élément de préhension. Le dispositif de préhension comprend également un élément élévateur (37) coopérant avec l'élément de préhension et pouvant être déplacé d'une première position où il est enfoncé par rapport à un élément de support (31) du dispositif de préhension, et une seconde position dans laquelle l'élément d'élévation est relevé par rapport à l'élément de support. Le dispositif de préhension de l'invention est pourvu d'un premier élément de blocage (77) qui bloque l'élément de préhension dans sa seconde position lorsque l'élément d'élévation ne se trouve sensiblement pas dans sa première position, et d'un second élément de blocage (79) qui bloque l'élément d'élévation dans sa première position lorsque l'élément de préhension ne se trouve sensiblement pas dans sa seconde position. On évite de cette manière que l'élément de préhension n'exerce une force sur la paroi interne (89) de l'ouverture de préhension du support de données lorsque celui-ci est placé dans le dispositif de préhension, où lorsqu'il en est extrait. Ladite paroi interne n'est ainsi pas endommagée par de telles forces. Si le support de données est un DVD, cela empêche que les deux substrats discoïdes du DVD, qui sont collés l'un à l'autre, ne soient soumis à une telle force, qui tendrait à les séparer. Selon l'invention, le dispositif de préhension peut être utilisé dans un dispositif de lecture optique, tel qu'un lecteur de disques optiques, pour saisir le support de données sur un plateau tournant (1) du dispositif de lecture optique.

Abstract: A musical instrument and a method of operating it. An instrument and method which retunes and adjusts volumes in response to the chord being sustained and the way that chord is voiced. The instrument is capable of producing tones, the intervals between which are equal tempered intervals of a twelve note octave, and tones, the intervals between at least some of which are determined by identifying at least selected ones of the notes the instrument is being commanded to produce. The method includes identifying the at least selected ones of the notes the instrument is being commanded to produce, providing a map for mapping the identified notes to a chord type, identifying a note in that chord type, and substituting a frequency closer to a harmonic of the identified note for the frequency of at least one harmonic of at least one other note the instrument is being commanded to produce.
