Abstract: There is disclosed a drop safe comprising a vault, a computing means located inside said vault, at least one bill validator, a code reader, and a currency compartment. The computing means is operatively connected to the bill validator which reads paper currency, and a code reader which reads codes. The currency compartment receives and stores paper currency received from the bill validator. The computing means, which is initially in an idle mode, is configured to switch to a deposit taking mode when the code reader detects a deposit initiation code. While in the deposit taking mode, the computing means monitors the bill validator and the code reader for (a) detection of a deposit of a valid paper currency in the bill validator, (b) detection of a deposit termination code by the code reader, and (c) a time-out condition (i.e. a predetermined amount of time has elapsed after the last paper currency was deposited into the bill validator and no termination code is detected). The deposit taking mode terminates when the personnel presents a deposit termination code or a time--out condition is detected, in which case the computing means switches back to the idle mode. The code reader may be a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag reader for reading RFID codes, a smart card reader for reading smart card codes, a magnetic strip reader for reading magnetic codes, an optical reader for reading optical codes, or a biometric code reader for reading biometric codes. Methods of depositing cash into the drop safe, and removing cash from the drop safe are also disclosed.

Inventor: KOPPERSCHMIDT PASCAL
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 2009-03-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring a vascular access during an extracorporeal blood treatment. The method and the device according to the invention are based on the monitoring of the difference between the venous pressure measured by means of a venous pressure sensor (19) and the arterial pressure measured by means of an arterial pressure sensor (18) in the extracorporeal blood circuit, said pressure being referred to as venous and arterial differential pressure. The in-vention is based on the finding that the values measured for the venous and arterial pressure are superimposed by interfering si-gnals which in general make it difficult to reliably evaluate the measured pressure signals for identifying a defective vascular ac-cess on the basis of the differential pressure only. According to the method and the device according to the invention, a test functi-on describing disturbances in the extracorporeal blood circuit is determined. Said test function is used to determine a noise-free differential pressure from the measured venous and arterial pressure, said differential pressure being evaluated in an arithmetic and evaluation unit (22) to identify a defective vascular access.

IPC: G01F1/64
Filed: 2009-04-16
Abstract: The invention provides a system for mea-suring milk flow at a milking installation. A first elec-trode and a second electrode are positioned inside a milk conduit across which a fixed voltage is applied. Milk flowing in the conduit forms a resistive element between the electrodes. Electric current in the milk between the two electrodes is detected by an ammeter, amplified by an amplifier, and then stored in a memory. A processor is configured to determine the current flow rate of milk in the conduit between the electrodes. The processor is fur-ther configured to determine the time averaged value of the amplified current over a recent time window. If the determined average is not within a predetermined range, the processor determines a gain of the amplifier that would have brought this time average into the predeter-mined range. The processor then resets the gain of the amplifier to the determined gain in order to bring the time average of the amplified current over subsequent time windows into the predetermined range.

Inventor: MOLLEMA SCOTT A
IPC: H02M7/04
Filed: 2009-04-23
Abstract: A voltage clamp protection circuit to protect against overvoltage conditions where there is insufficient current to blow a fuse. The voltage clamp protection circuit includes a voltage clamp and a thermal cutoff. The voltage clamp clamps any overvoltage to a clamping voltage. If an overvoltage condition persists for too long the voltage clamp dissipates a sufficient amount of heat to activate the thermal cutoff creating an open circuit that protects the rest of the circuit. The voltage clamp protection circuit may be used in combination with a variety of other protection circuits to provide increased protection.

Abstract: Broad experimental tools that include biochemical, molecular, developmental, global genomics and loss and gain of function transgenic approaches have been applied to address target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling pathway in plants, especially using Arabidopsis model system and Brassica napus crop. Towards this objective, putative TOR  interacting proteins (TIPs) have been identified and functions of these implicated in diverse developmental and biochemical processes have been investigated. Functional studies including over-expression and silencing of TOR and TIPs have shown a range of phenotypes that include embryo defective, nutrition-use-efficiency, water-use-efficiency and stress resistance in transgenic Arabidopsis and Brassica lines. Some of these phenotypes are relevant to important developmental pathways implicated in canola crop yield and performance.
