Abstract: Equipment (10), or integrated cash register, designed to be used at the point of
sale to effect both standard cash transactions and the associated payment
transactions electronically, i.e. without cash changing hands. It comprises an
electronic transaction unit (13) having a card input unit (13a) suitable for
receiving a payment card (15) to enable payment; a single keyboard (12) for use
in inputting the cash transaction data (DAT1), for activating the transaction, and
also, where required, for inputting the PIN number associated with the payment
card (15); and a GSM transmission/reception unit (18), or modem, for
transmitting the data (DAT3) processed by the transaction unit (13), and which
defines the payment to be made, via radio waves (24) to a remote reception unit
(22), such as a bank. The integrated cash register (10) of this invention has an
extremely compact structure characterized by a limited number of parts and, as it
has been designed to be powered preferably by batteries (25) and does not,
therefore, have any connection cables, is an extremely portable and manageable
device. This integrated cash register may also be used to effect telephone calls.
When not in use, it may also be connected to a fixed docking station (150), which
may be used to charge the batteries, for example, or to connect the cash register

Abstract: A masonry wall system
is disclosed incorporating
a plurality of courses of
masonry blocks, each block
consisting of interlocking
dovetails (12) along with
vertical and horizontal
mating surfaces (11, 15,
16, 17). The main block
has two stabilizing holes
(14) running at a vertical
axis through the center.
Steel reinforcement rods
or square tubes are loosely
inserted into these stabilizing
holes (14) at predetermined
intervals. Corner blocks
(26) are employed to connect
the walls at right angles
and are used in conjunction
with short blocks (28) to
stagger the vertical joints
from course to course. The
predetermined tolerances
between the masonry
components and the loosely
placed rods or tubes permit
the wall to have a fluid
property. Forces such as
settling, hydrostatic pressure and seismic disturbances are then automatically absorbed and systematically distributed across the entire wall.
When all of the masonry components reach the end of their tolerance, the wall locks up as a solid interconnected mass. The force is then
passed on to the stabilizing rods or tubes which now act to stabilize the wall against further movement.

Abstract: A coordinate input apparatus detects the accurate
position of the diffuse light emitted by the light emitting
unit of a pointer. The diffuse light emitted from the
pointer is collected by a condenser lens, the amount of the
diffuse light is detected by a control-signal detecting
sensor with a high sensitivity, its output is detected by a
frequency detecting unit, and a control-signal detecting
unit detects a control signal. The diffuse light emitted
from the pointer also passes through a visible-light-cut
filter to remove disturbance light, and is received by
linear sensors for detecting the direction in which the
light comes. The linear sensors are controlled by a sensor
control unit. The output signals of the linear sensors are
converted by an A-D conversion unit provided for the sensor
control unit, sent to a coordinate calculation unit, and the
output coordinates on the sensors are calculated.

Title: A valve
Inventor: OGLESBY ALFRED PETER
IPC: F16K31/06
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: A solenoid actuated magnetically latched valve comprises a main housing (2) formed
by an inner sleeve (5) and an outer sleeve (38) extending between respective end
caps (7, 8). The inner sleeve (5) defines a valving chamber (10) into which fluid is
delivered through a fluid inlet (17) in the end cap (7). A fluid outlet (18) in the end
cap (8) delivers fluid from the valving chamber (10). An armature (11) terminates in
a valving member (21) which is co-operable with a valve seat (22) in the end cap (8),
and is axially slideable within the valving chamber (10) between an open position
with the valving member (21) disengaged from the valve seat (22), and a closed
position with the valving member (21) engaging the valve seat (22). A pair of
permanent magnets (45) generate magnetic flux which flows through the outer
sleeve (38), the end caps (7, 8) and the armature (11) for alternately magnetically
latching the armature (11) in the open position and the closed position. A pair of
solenoid coils (50, 51) are located between the inner sleeve (5) and the outer sleeve
(38) for shuttling the armature (11) between the respective open and closed position.
A fluid accommodating bore (28) extends into the armature (11) and communicates
with the fluid inlet (17) for accommodating fluid through the armature (11) to
communicating ports (29) in the armature (11). The fluid is delivered through the
communicating ports (29) into the valving chamber (10), and in turn through the fluid
outlet (18) when the armature (11) is in the open position.

radio communication capacity is allocated from the
arrangement of repeatedly occurring frames to a non-dedicated
fast signalling channel between the mobile
stations and the base station. This piece of radio
communication capacity allocated to a non-dedicated fast
signalling channel is used for conveying fast signalling
messages between at least one mobile station and the base
station.
