Abstract: A POS device (12-1, 12-2, 12-3)
functioning as a store complex checkout
apparatus reads an information storage medium
(16-11, 16-12, etc) storing at least a product
provision store code and a product code
attached to products (14-11, 14-12, etc) of
its own (e.g. 10-1) and other stores (10-2,
10-3) using a medium reading unit, refers to
product master file information (22-1, 22-2,
22-3) and performs checkout when a product
checkout processing unit identifies the code
as its own store (e.g. 10-1) from information
read from the information storage medium, and
refers to corresponding master file
information of another store (10-2, 10-3) and
performs checkout if the product checkout
processing unit identifies the code as the code
of the other store, causing a transaction
management unit (46) to generate and store
transaction information including a store
code and the product provision store code.
Further, a store-to-store information
send/receive processing unit (48) performs
checkout processing for the transaction
amount with a store checkout apparatus of other
stores based on the transaction information.

Title: Spring-elastic measuring element comprising a flat connecting element that can be welded
Inventor: RADAU OTTO
IPC: B23K26/32
Filed: 2004-03-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a spring-elastic measuring element ( 1 ) for thermometers, pressure switches or manometers consisting of an arc-shaped measuring tube ( 3 ), a base body ( 2 ) and a connecting element ( 10 ) for the measuring mechanism. The aim of the invention is to achieve the fully automated welding of the thermally influenced zone and to improve the latter. To achieve this, the connections between the measuring tube ( 3 ) and the base body ( 2 ) and the measuring tube and the connecting element ( 10 ) are obtained using connecting elements ( 11, 12 ) that can be welded. This allows the risk of contamination of the measuring system to be eliminated to a great extent and reduces the formation of corrosion and vibration cracks by the use of a small thermally influenced zone. A connecting element ( 11, 12 ) can also be produced as one-piece with the measuring tube ( 3 ) by expanding or creating a bead on the latter. The welded joint can be achieved by laser welding or electron-beam welding and the invention permits the welding of chrome-nickel steel to bronze.
