Title: Anti-skimming card reader surface configuration
Inventor: RAKOFF STEVEN BARNETT
IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 2005-05-03
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: A card reader housing (20) has an exterior surface configuration (22) that includes a plurality of distinct surface portions (24-38) aligned at oblique angles relative to each other. The exterior surface configuration (22) prevents the placement of a skimming reader over the top of the card reader housing (20). In a disclosed example, a finger-receiving notch (50) is directly aligned with a reader (60) and has a depth and a dimension sized for receiving at least a portion of a finger holding a card inserted into a slot (46) in the housing (20). Any alteration of the notch (50) dimensions prevents proper operation of the card reader.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif à injection (110) pourvu d'une enveloppe à orifice témoin (113) conçue pour recevoir une seringue (114) présentant une buse de décharge (118). L'invention comporte une gâchette (111) et un entraînement postéro-antérieur (132) agencé pour agir sur la seringue par déclenchement de la gâchette de façon à faire passer la seringue de la configuration rentrée à une configuration déployée, déchargeant alors le contenu de la seringue par la buse. Un élément support (122) se présente en contact avec l'enveloppe, un entraînement de rappel (126) étant monté sur l'élément support et agencé de façon à agir sur la seringue après décharge de son contenu de façon que la seringue puisse revenir en position rentrée depuis la position déployée. En outre, l'élément support est agencé dans l'enveloppe de façon que le deuxième entraînement ne masque par l'examen du contenu de la seringue via l'orifice témoin. Il en résulte qu'ii est possible de constater sans ambiguïté que le contenu de la seringue en a été expulsé.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for identifying the position of a magnetic shaft are provided. N field sensors are adjacently positioned at fixed locations relative to the shaft's periodic field, corresponding to 180/N relative phase shifts. A table provides N>2 predetermined signal models and a pre-identified position associated with each. An interpolator compares a representation of the N measured sensor signals to at least two predetermined models to generate a correction signal that provides another pre-identified position. The correction signal depends on N sensors for every position of the shaft. The correction signal is used to incrementally choose said another pre-identified position from the table as an approximate position of the shaft in an iterative process to find the minimum correction signal and identify the position.
