Abstract: A coin storage control system and method for vending machines is disclosed. The system includes a coin discriminating device (2), a coin storing device (3) and a coin storage control unit (100). The coin storage control unit (100) sets an initial retention number for each type of coin to be initially stored. The coin storage control unit (100) further sets a maximum retention number determined by adding a predetermined number to the initial retention number. In response to the number of coins stored in the coin storing device (3) reaching the maximum retention number, the coin storage control unit (100) sends a signal to the coin discriminating device (2) to send deposited coins to a cash box (4). The number of coins stored in the coin storing device (3) is controlled to be not greater than the maximum retention number. The operation of coin collection from the coin storing device (3) can be performed in a relatively short period of time by setting the maximum retention number to an appropriate value.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a center electrode for a spark plug, a composite column is provided by enclosing a heat-conductor core into a nickel-alloyed clad by means of plastic working. A front end of the nickel-alloyed clad is severed to define a severing end surface with which an axial bore is provided to reach to a front end of the heat-conductor core. A straight neck portion around the axial bore is provided by diametrically reducing the front end of the nickel-alloyed clad. A firing tip made of precious metal is placed in the axial bore. In this instance, a front end of the firing tip extends beyond the front end of the straight neck portion, while a rear end of the firing tip comes in thermally transferable contact with the front end of the heat-conductor core. An outer surface of the firing tip is bonded to an inner surface of the axial bore by means of laser beam welding or electronic beam welding.

Abstract: A dambar-less leadframe (102) is sandwiched between two printed circuit boards (PCBs) (104, 106). The PCBs form a major portion of the package body, and isolate the leadframe leads (108) from plastic molding compound. In one embodiment, an upper PCB (substrate) (104) is formed as a square ring, having an opening (130) containing a heat sink (150). A lower PCB (106) is also formed as a square ring, and has a smaller opening (140) for receiving a die (120). The back face (120a) of the die (120) is mounted to the heat sink (150). The exposed front face (120b) of the die (120) is wire bonded to inner ends (138a) of conductive traces (138) on the exposed face of the lower PCB (106). The outer ends (138b) of the traces (138) are electrically connected to the leadframe leads (108) by plated-through vias (132, 142) extending through the two PCBs (104, 106). The plated-through vias additionally secure the sandwich structure together. Plastic molding compound (170) is injection/transfer molded over the front face (120b) of the die (120) and the bond wires (160), forming a partially-molded package. In another embodiment, the upper PCB is a solid planar element, and is not provided with an opening for a heat sink. The back face of the die is mounted to the inside surface of the upper PCB.

Abstract: In order to permit the timely reduction of remaining waste, priority is given to the associated composting of valuable substances of an organic nature from kitchen and garden waste. Central composting by means of large scale installations is generally expensive and the large amount of transportation it entails causes the environment to be polluted. In addition, such works frequently find it difficult to sell their product owing to a lack of trust on the part of potential customers in it (because the raw material is sometimes polluted). In many countries (for example Switzerland and the Federal Republic of Germany) governments have therefore issued guidelines/regulations which favour composting which is carried out on as decentralised a basis as possible. In addition to the existing small compost installations, this entails a considerable demand for medium-sized installations which are to be operated in a semi-decentralised or decentralised fashion and save space while at the same time being available to users everywhere, which is an advantage in view of the fact that the amount of living space is decreasing. With its large annual capacities, the small amount of space it requires, its large capacity for integration and combination (not requiring permission or permission being granted through a simple channel), universal handling, integrated system for returning percolating water, housing, high oxygen supply levels, natural rotting facilities, all-year-round operation and a high-grade compost product which is produced in a transparent fashion, the pavilion compost installation series is geared towards balancing accounts both ecologically and economically and is designed for the wide range of private, commercial and local authority users.

Abstract: A description is given of a polycarbonate copolymer (Fig. 3) of a spirobisindan (6,6'-dihydroxy-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spirobisindan) and bisphenol-A in which the mole fraction of the spirobisindan α ranges between 0.844 and 0.887. Such a copolymer has a stress-optical coefficient C m  in the melt which is equal to zero or substantially equal to zero, so that the sensitivity of the polymer to orientation birefringence is very small. Such a copolymer can be rendered optically isotropic and is very suitable for use in optical components in which birefringence is undesirable. Examples of such optical components are lenses and substrates for optical information media.

Abstract: Multilateral wells and improved multilateral well structures are made by setting a diverter (332) at a prescribed position and a prescribed orientation in a main well flow conductor (120) located within a main wellbore (110), boring through a sidewall of the main well flow conductor (120) and into a material (112) surrounding the main well flow conductor (120), the boring creating a window (324) having a particular shape in the sidewall, the orientation of the diverter (332) determining a lateral position of the window in the main well flow conductor (120), a lateral wellbore (150) thereby being formed in the material and extending from the main wellbore (110), and lining the lateral wellbore (150) with a liner (340), the liner having an interface end (342), the interface end being adapted to contact a periphery of the window (342) in the sidewall, and cementing the liner (340) in place within the lateral wellbore (150). The step of cementing creates a pressure-bearing seal between the periphery of the window and the interface end (342) of the liner (340). The method allows multiple lateral wellbores to be joined to the main wellbore and provides for connectivity among main and lateral wellbores, pressure-bearing sealing of joints to allow selective isolation of one or more wellbores or portions thereof and subsequent wellbore access for rework or other purposes.
