Abstract: A coin lifting mechanism employs a pair of rollers to lift coins reliably to an elevated position. The pair of rollers have spaced rotating surfaces that are resiliently urged toward one another and against opposing faces of the coin to hold the coin therebetween. The rotating surfaces rotate in opposite directions to produce a driving force in a direction to drive the coins one-by-one past the rollers. A coin lifting rail extends from a coin receiving end disposed adjacent the pair of rollers upward to a coin discharging end. The coin lifting rail has a coin passage which receives the coins from the rollers and guides the movement of the coins. The coins in the coin passage are stacked edge-to-edge and slidably move along the passage under the driving force generated by the rollers toward the coin discharging end. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système de suivi de l'utilisation d'un réseau par les abonnés, en particulier du réseau de fourniture de supports interactifs fournissant de la programmation à des coffrets de raccordement couplés à des appareils d'affichage. Ce système fait le suivi d'événements, y compris les changements d'état du coffret découlant d'un changement de programmation ou de canal, ou découlant d'une mise en service par l'abonné et de l'interaction avec une application particulière de services interactifs. Chaque application crée un article événement comprenant l'identificateur d'application, l'événement et le groupe date-heure. Le procédé consiste alors à prendre les articles événement, à les ranger en mémoire tampon, à les comprimer, à les rassembler en paquets, et à les transmettre à un processeur de fusion qui combine les articles événement aux données de contenu décrivant le contenu de programmation distribué par le réseau. Les articles événement et les données de contenu sont fusionnés de façon à former pour chaque coffret de raccordement d'abonné des calendriers d'événements qui montrent l'activité abonné ou la programmation restituée au profit d'un utilisateur pendant une période de temps déterminée.

Abstract: Plastic Profiled Semi-Rigid Barriers No. 1 and No. 2 and their application technique are designed for rehabilitation and preservation of old civil engineering structures and monuments after step-by-step horizontal cutting of wet walls damaged by capillary moisture. The barrier joints are connected in the cut via their male (MC) and female (FC) end couplings and, interlocked, driven into the cuts filled with viscous cement mortar. Plastic Profiled Semi-Rigid Barriers No. 1 and No. 2 of infinite length fulfill three functional targets: the horizontal plate (a) acts as a watertight barrier or damp-proof course that prevents moisture movement by capillary forces into the parts above the cut, the male (MC) and female (FC) couplings tightly interlock the individual barrier joints and, once the barrier joints are interconnected and fitted into the wall cuts, they provide an unbreakable and impervious tie that is integral to the barrier system, while the vertical fins (F), perpendicular to the plate (a) support the total vertical load of the upper section of the treated civil engineering structures removing all hazard from fracturing or microfissuring.
