Title: Combine harvester
IPC: A01F7/06
Filed: 1980-09-05
Abstract: An axial flow combine harvester comprises a threshing and separating drum 4 working within a basket 6, 8 to thresh crop material fed up to an infeed portion 10 of the drum by an auger conveyor. The first part 8 of the basket where threshing occurs completely surrounds the drum with a small gap. In order to reduce the power required to drive the drum 4, the axially downstream part of the basket 6 provides a larger gap so that the axial feed effect on the crop would be poor. However, a belt conveyor 16 provided in the gap at the top of the basket 6 effects good axial feed. The belt conveyor 16 can be transversely convex to conform to the periphery of the drum and can be driven with a variable speed depending upon the crop throughout as sensed by a mechanism 22 in the gap between the drum and basket. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2092345-A (GB)
Title: Card/token validity checking
IPC: G07F7/08
Filed: 1981-01-30
Abstract: The combination of a receiver of T.V. radiation with a card reader to enable centrally disseminated lists of lost or stolen cards to be instantly compared with every card checked into the card reader. The idea is to utilize one of the frame lines which are normally outside the picture area for encoding identity numbers of cards reported lost, to shorten decisively the interval between the loss of a card and the movement when instructions reach the large number of sales points. Equally improved would be the speed in eliminating card numbers from the stop list once they are recovered by their owners. <IMAGE>

Title: Multilevel security apparatus and method
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 1981-02-04
Abstract: A card-encoding system and method preserves the security of the encoding process against duplicaton and counterfeiting of cards by securing the interactions under the control of the individual and then of the issuing institution. Multilevels of offset codes are generated in successive interactions so that attempted alteration, duplication, or counterfeiting of a coded card will be readily detectable using "off-line" card checking apparatus. An "active" card is initially issued or authorized with an established credit balance, and its authenticity, balance and proper use are continuously checked, debited and updated in each authorized transaction completed by the proper individual. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for inverting articles such as kegs or drums
Inventor: AVEY KENNETH FREDERICK CHARLES
IPC: B65G47/252
Filed: 1982-08-12
Abstract: Apparatus for inverting kegs or similar cylindrical articles comprises a horizontal conveyor (10) on which kegs (100) are supplied to and discharged from the apparatus and a cradle assembly (20) rotatable about a horizontal axis transverse to the conveyor (10). The cradle assembly (20) preferably comprises two cradles (22 and 122) positioned back-to-back. Each cradle has a pair of jaw members (24 or 124) fixed relative to the axis of rotation of the cradle assembly and a pair of movable jaw members (26 or 126) movable towards and away from the fixed jaw members, for example by means of air cylinders. When cradle 22 is in the receiving position, the movable jaw members 26 are below the level of the conveyor 10 to enable a keg 100 to be moved into position in the cradle. The jaw members are raised to clamp the keg between the jaw members 24 and 26, and the cradle assembly is rotated through 180 DEG  to invert the keg. As the keg is lowered onto the conveyor 10, the movable jaws 26 are retracted to allow the keg to be discharged, as the next keg is moved into the other cradle 122, which is now in the receiving position. The apparatus can operate with a high through-put and without damage to the kegs which are positively clamped during inversion. <IMAGE>
