Title: Improvements relating to cash registers and other cash holding devices
Filed: 2011-12-06
Abstract: A cash holding device, such as a cash register, EPOS terminal or cash safe has a weighing device that allows the change in the total mass of cash contained in the device between two time points to be determined. The time points may relate to the start and end of a transaction such as when the cash device is opened and closed. The total mass differential between the two measurements is used to determine possible cash item combinations for the transaction. Expected behaviours or expected cash combinations based upon the transaction details may be used to reduce the number of cash combinations. The value represented by the added or removed total mass can be determined from the determined cash combination. The cash device has a weighing device allowing a cash container and the cash within it to have their total mass determined. A sensor detecting the opening and closing of a drawer, lid or door may also be used to trigger weight measurements. A warning can be given if a detected change in mass does not correlate with the transaction details. The invention allows monitoring of transactions to help prevent losses due to employee theft and other fraudulent acts.

Title: Mounting means for a mobile welding tool of a portable apparatus with a twist connection for loading the tool
Inventor: ZIMMER ERNST
IPC: B23K11/10
Filed: 1982-01-23
Granted: 1985-10-03
Abstract: A tool holder for a manipulator comprises a tool shaft extending along and rotatable about a main axis and having a tool-shaft end provided with a pivot defining a transverse axis. A tool is carried on the pivot and is displaceable relative to the tool shaft about the transverse axis. A stack of guide rings coaxially surrounds the tool shaft adjacent the pivot and is formed with at least two throughgoing guide-ring passages each having a radially outwardly opening passage end. Two of the guide rings define a pair of axially spaced annular confronting guide-ring surfaces. A connector ring is rotatable on the stack between the guide-ring surfaces and has a pair of axially oppositely directed connector-ring surfaces one of which axially directly confronts one of the guide-ring surfaces. A connector element secures the connector ring to the tool-shaft end for joint rotation of same about the main axis. A flat contact element is secured to one of the one surfaces and is axially flatly engageable with the other of the one surfaces. Thus current can be transmitted between the connector ring and the guide ring of the one guide-ring surface by the contact element. A piston-and-cylinder assembly and a spring are engaged between the connector ring and the other of the guide-ring surfaces for pressing the one surface and contact element together axially. An electrical feed line is connected to the conductor fixed to the support and an electrical line is connected between the other conductor and the tool for feeding electricity through to the tool.

IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 1982-04-06
Granted: 1986-02-27
Abstract: A high pressure transducer, especially for ballistic pressure measurements, with a body member and a sensor part, the body member can be screwed into a threaded mounting bore provided in a structural component, whereby the body member comes into sealing contact with its sealing surface against a seating surface of the mounting aperture. The body member is provided with a recess, into which projects an extension on the sensor part to be secured along its end-face on the body member. An annular gap is provided between the extension of the sensor part and the recess in the body member, which causes the force flux lines produced by the sealing forces not to pass through the sensor part so that the latter remains unaffected by changing conditions of the force flux lines, i.e. by the prevailing tightening torques.

Title: Quaternary ammonium compounds containing surfactant anions, polymers thereof, polymerisable compositions containing them, methods of making the monomers and polymers and articles containing polymer
Inventor: HUTTON THOMAS WATKINS
IPC: C08F20/36
Filed: 1982-07-30
Granted: 1988-05-05
Abstract: The quaternary ammonium monomers of this invention have the formula   <CHEM>  wherein  R is an ethylenically unsaturated organic group R<1> is a linear C1 to C4 alkyl group, optionally hydroxy substituted  X is chlorine, bromine or iodine, and  Y<(-)> is a surfactant anion. The epoxides derivable from the halohydrin of Formula (I) are other monomers of this invention. The monomers are soluble in common organic solvents and comonomers. The invention is also directed to addition polymers of these monomers and to methods or producing both the monomers and the colymers. The halohydrin monomers and the polymers are stable at acid pH values although capable of reacting with materials reactive with the hydroxyl and/or halide groups. Upon heating, they are self-reactive and can become cross-linked. At alkaline pH values they become self-reactive; the polymers crosslink slowly even at room temperature, with a crosslinking rate increasing rapidly with temperature. The monomers are particularly efficiently incorporated into copolymers. Polymers containing the novel monomers are useful as coating, binding or impregnating compositions.

Inventor: BONNOME JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: C12G3/08
Filed: 1983-03-18
Granted: 1986-08-21
Abstract: An alcoholic liquid obtained by fermenting a must or a wort is initially subjected to ultrafiltration or to reverse osmosis to obtain a permeate which contains a higher proportion of water and alcohol than the starting liquid and a concentrate which contains a higher proportion of the substances that flavor the starting liquid. The permeate is then subjected to reverse osmosis using a membrane which is substantially impermeable to alcohol, while still being permeable to water. The concentrate from the second step is added to the concentrate from the first step to produce a liquid which has a higher concentration of alcohol than the starting liquid. The resulting liquid may be useable at said higher concentration as a beverage, or it may be used for transport and/or for storage, with water being added to thereto to restore the beverage substantially to its starting condition before being drunk.
