Title: Receipt transport and retrieval system for automated banking machine
Inventor: BRANNAN JEFFREY A
IPC: G07G5/00
Filed: 1997-11-25
Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) includes a receipt transport and retracting apparatus (26). The machine includes a printer (30) which delivers a sheet (108) which is a transaction receipt for a transaction conducted at the machine. The sheet is transported in engaged relation with the lower flights of two transversely disposed belts (50, 52). A gate member (76) is positioned adjacent to the printer and is rotatably mounted. The gate member includes slots (78) which extend transversely between the arcuate outside surface (86) and inside surface (88) of the gate member. In the first position of the gate member the belt flights extend through the slots. Engagement of a sheet moving in an outward direction from the printer toward an outlet (118) moves the gate member to a second rotational position in which the sheet passes the gate member. The sheet moves in the outward direction until it reaches the outlet and extends through an opening (24) where it is accessible to a user. If a user fails to take the sheet, the belts move the sheet in an opposed direction. The sheet moves in the opposed direction and engages the inside surface of the gate member and is directed to a storage location (80) inside the machine.

Abstract: In a method and an arrangement for adapting, from a DC point of view, the signal input (4) of a first circuit (3), lying at a first DC voltage, to the signal output (2) of at least one second circuit (1), lying at a second DC voltage, the signal input terminal (4) is connected to the respective signal output terminal (2) of the respective second circuit (1) via a respective first resistance (R1), whereby first DC currents (IR1) will be allowed to flow through the respective first resistance (R1). The signal input (4) is adapted to be virtually short-circuited to a source for the first DC voltage (U), which is of a predetermined value, separate from zero. The first circuit (3) is adapted to internally generate a DC cancellation current (I) and bring it to flow in the signal input (4). The signal input (4) is to be connected to ground via a selectable, second resistance (R2), whereby a second DC current (IR2) will flow through the second resistance (R2). This second resistance (R2) is to be selected in such a manner that the sum of the DC cancellation current (I), the first DC currents (IR1), and the second DC current (IR2), equals zero.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing intelligent cellular handoff
Inventor: CHAO PI-HUI
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 1998-01-29
Abstract: A cellular network includes a receiver configured to receive inbound information from a mobile station. A correlator is coupled to the receiver and configured to correlate the inbound information against expected information to generate a correlator signal. An interpolator is coupled to the correlator and configured to interpolate the correlator signal to generate an interpolator signal. A memory is coupled to the interpolator and configured to store the interpolator signal. A processor is coupled to the memory and configured to process the interpolator signal to determine a position of the mobile station. Additional embodiments track the position of the mobile station based on cellular handoff and mobile station position over time. The cellular network can transfer the mobile station from the microcellular network to the macrocellular network if the mobile station is moving rapidly.  The cellular network can transfer the mobile station from the macrocellular network to the microcellular network if the mobile station is moving slowly.  Advantages of the invention include the ability to reduce control traffic among the network elements including the BTS, BSC and MSC. As a result, the inventive network can handle more telephone calls and can organize the calls more efficiently than in traditional cellular networks.
