Title: Bank note discriminator
Inventor: SCHWARTZ VLADIMIR A
IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 1996-03-06
Granted: 2001-05-15
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a bank note discriminator having certain design features to make unauthorized withdrawal of an accepted bank note difficult. The passageway along which a bank note is processed includes a series of fixed blocking members with a camming surface one side and an undercut on the opposite side. Some of the blocking members are aligned with latches and others are located between latches.  A bank note passing over the latches is deformed in a series of 'S' shapes across the bank note to clear the blocking members.  It is difficult to impart this shape to a bank note once it has cleared the blocking members, thereby making unauthorized withdrawal difficult.

Granted: 2004-11-30
Abstract: A video game which incorporates a video game player's cardio-waveform into the video display and integrates the wave-form with the activities of the video game being played. A cardio-waveform sensor is attached to a video game player. The sensor produces a signal which is transmitted to an input interface of a micro-processor.      A joystick or other control system which enables a player to control the play of the video game is also attached to the input interface of the micro-processor. The micro-processor produces a display signal dependant on the signal's generated from the joystick and cardio-waveform sensor. The player's cardio-waveform is also displayed on the video display and is incorporated into the activities of the game being played. In one embodiment the cardio-waveform represents a boundary which confines the activities of a roaming icon.

Granted: 2001-08-07
Abstract: A method and system for direct routing of telephone calls made by a caller originating from within specific calling areas to one of a plurality of locations of a second party according to certain criteria established by the second party. This routing is accomplished based on the assignment of latitude and longitude coordinates to a potential caller's location. Once these coordinates are assigned to each of the potential callers, the second party's criteria is applied to assign the potential caller to a second party. Such criteria could be existence within a previously-defined geographic area, a custom defined geographic area, or through calculations such as the shortest distance between coordinate points. Once all such assignments have been made, a database is assembled to be used by a long distance carrier for direct routing of telephone calls from callers to an assigned second party.

Abstract: A medication container has a tubular container body with an open upper end, and a cap detachably securable to the upper edge of the container body by clockwise rotation relative thereto, the cap and the container body having mutually engageable stops preventing anti-clockwise opening rotation of the cap relative to the container body when the cap is in an upper position relative to the container body. A cap liner of resilient material within the cap has a peripheral portion engageable with the upper end of the container body to close the upper end, the cap liner also having a central button portion in a central aperture in the cap for manual engagement by a person wishing to open the container. The cap is normally engaged by the cap liner, when the cap is detachably secured to the container body, to maintain the cap in the upper position relative to the container body, whereby downward manual pressure on the central button portion of the cap liner causes resilient deformation of the cap liner away from the cap to permit the cap to be depressed from its upper position and thereby permit counter-clockwise opening rotation of the cap relative to the container body.

Title: Twin feed screw
Inventor: BECHER ULRICH
IPC: F04C2/16
Filed: 1996-07-08
Granted: 2007-12-04
Abstract: In known embodiments, media are fed in a contact-free manner in propeller pumps by single-thread twin feed screws which are guided via pilot gears, the twin feed screws having the same transverse profile with a core circle, tip circle, an involute flank and a hollow flank, enabling the pump chamber to be divided into axially staggered cells and thus obtain high pressure differences in one stage. In addition to dynamics, efficiency and production, the control of the medium is also determined by the contour of the end profile, the variation of which improves all the dependent variables. According to the invention, the involute is replaced by a curve which does not rise constantly and has a central saddle region and a smooth connection to the core circle. The variations in the end face achieved thereby improve the dynamics and volumetric efficiency and extend the possibilities for controlling medium at the end face. The detailed adaptation to the new curve together with the smooth connection at the base point enable the core and flanks to be produced jointly by a single tool. Feed screws with profiles of this type are suitable for flow rates of between 100 and 100 m3/h and ultimate pressure of < 0.05 mbar at speeds of rotation of approximately 3000 min-1 and approximately 50 % efficiency.
