Patent EP-0167181-B1 (EP)
IPC: G07F5/24
Filed: 1982-09-29
Granted: 1989-09-20
Abstract: A microprocessor-controlled coin handling apparatus, for example for a vending machine, has a plurality of change tubes (22, 24, 26) each of which is provided with a single level sensor (150, 152) for determining whether or not the number of coins in the respective tube (22, 24, 26) is greater than a predetermined number. The microprocessor (50) keeps a count of the coins in the tube (22, 24, 26). When the power is turned on, the count is set to zero if the sensor (150, 152) indicates that the number of coins is less than the predetermined number, and is set to a predetermined "full" number (FULNUM) otherwise. The microprocessor (50) increments and decrements the counts as coins are delivered to and dispensed from the change tubes (22, 24, 26). Whenever the level of coins rises or falls such that the sensor output changes, the coin count is automatically corrected. Also disclosed is a non-volatile memory (60) for storing parameters determining how the coins are handled. Keys (102, 104, 106) are provided for accessing and altering the contents of the memory (60). Some contents are accessible in a first mode, whereas other contents are inaccessible in this mode, and require a second or third access mode to be entered. At least one location can be altered in a first manner during one of the access modes, and in a second manner only during a different access mode.

Abstract: A method of ventilating a floor in a building, comprising the step of positively causing air to flow in a ventilation space (6) between a sleeper floor (1) and an upper floor (8). The air sucked into the ventilation space is taken at a temperature which exceeds the temperature prevailing in the ventilation space (6) or at floor level, preferably by being sucked in at ceiling level. The relative humidity is measured in the air departing from the ventilation space, this being extracted by a fan (31). When the measured relative humidity falls below a certain threshold level, the output of the fan (31) is maintained at a certain constant, and low, level. If the measured relative humidity exceeds the threshold level, the output of the fan (31) is maintained at a higher level, as long as the measured relative humidity lies above the threshold level. Heat exchange is effected between departing air and new intake air into the building.

Date Mar. 12, 1987.The test device (7) serves in particular for testing bottle-shaped containers (4), and is in the form of a piston/cylinder assembly. It has two pistons (41, 53) in order to test simultaneously or consecutively two properties of the container (4), while the position of the container (4) and cylinders (30, 31) remains the same. The two pistons (41, 53) can be operationally connected by a piston rod (42). The piston strokes are different. Containers which are to be filled with a liquid material and are preferably made of plastic can be tested in this way before they are filled with the material thus making it possible to locate quickly and unambiguously any containers which are to be rejected owing to their dimensions, resistance to crushing, sealing property and so on, before the filling process takes place.

Date Aug. 4, 1986.A surgical apparatus for partially modifying the curvature of the cornea of an eye while the eye is within the patient is disclosed. The device is able to ablate a zone of corneal material in the form of a lenticular lamina. The thickness of the lamina at any particular point on the cornea surface varies as a function of the radial distance between that point and the central optical axis of the eye. The surgical apparatus comprises: a source of light (31) capable of emitting a beam of light (4) having a wavelength which is about 200 nanometers; an optical system (32) for directing and focusing the beam of light onto the desired zone of the cornea in order to ablate a lamina of material of the desired dimensions; and, a series of diaphragms and screens for obscuring varying portions of the zone of the cornea undergoing ablation in order to effect differential irradiation of the corneal surface. The longer the light beam (4) is allowed to impinge a particular portion of the cornea, the more corneal material removed from that spot and the greater the thickness of the lamina ( 2 and 16), and vice versa.

Abstract: Le traitement de solutions de chrome III dans l'acide sulfurique contenant de l'acide nitrique, comme elles se produisent lors de la purification oxydante des gaz de combustion, présente de grosses difficultés ou est très coûteux. Le but de l'invention est de créer un procédé dans lequel les frais de courant pour l'électrolyse sont faibles. Le procédé selon l'invention pour l'oxydation électrochimique de solutions de chrome III dans l'acide sulfurique en solutions de chrome VI réside, pour l'essentiel, en ce que l'acide nitrique, l'acide sulfurique et le chrome sont contenus dans l'électrolyte, l'acide nitrique étant utilisé comme transporteur rédox pour l'électrode d'oxygène servant de cathode et l'acide nitrique étant régénéré par l'oxygène. Le carbone ou le graphite sont utilisés comme matière de la cathode. Pour l'anode, on utilise des électrodes présentant une surtension d'oxygène élevée comme, par exemple, le dioxyde de plomb. Les tensions de la cellule que l'on peut obtenir dans ces conditions sont comprises entre 0,9 et 2 volts. Cela signifie que les dépenses de courant pour l'électrolyse sont abaissées d'environ 1/3.

The photoconductor is in a vacuum chamber and it is highly charged with a negative potential. The vacuum chamber includes a surface sensitive to electron flow (P) for making an image (I). This surface is a phosphor screen or an image intensifier having the capability to be gated for imaging or not imaging incident electrons or a segmented electron collecting anode for electronic imaging.
