Title: Coin discrimination apparatus and method
Inventor: MARTIN DOUGLAS ALAN
IPC: G07D5/08
Filed: 1998-06-26
Granted: 2013-06-18
Abstract: A coin discrimination apparatus and method is provided. Coins, preferably after cleaning, e.g. using a trommel, are singulated by a coin pickup assembly configured to reduce jamming. A coin rail assists in providing separation between coins as they travel past a sensor. The sensor provides an oscillating electromagnetic field generated on a single sensing core. The oscillating electromagnetic field is composed of one or more frequency components. The electromagnetic field interacts with a coin, and these interactions are monitored and used to classify the coin according to its physical properties. All frequency components of the magnetic field are phase-locked to a common reference frequency. The phase relationships between the various frequencies are fixed, and the interaction of each frequency component with the coin can be accurately determined without the need for complicated electrical filters.

Title: Measurement of binding rate of a binding substance and an analyte
Inventor: KAHMA KAUKO
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2006-05-05
Granted: 2014-09-09
Abstract: A method of measuring the rate of binding of a binding substance and an analyte, for example in an assay such as an immunoassay, uses an initial step of performing ultrasonication sufficient to disrupt binding between the binding substance and the analyte. After cessation of the ultrasonication, measurements are taken to determine the rate of binding at cessation of said ultrasonication or at a predetermined time thereafter. The ultrasonication results in knowledge of the precise time of the start of the binding reaction which provides a better rate measurement.
