Patent EP-0862151-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHELBERG CHARLES C JR
IPC: G07F15/12
Filed: 1998-02-06
Abstract: A vending machine for dispensing power and telecommunications access is
disclosed. The vending machine has a switchable power circuit that receives
power from a power source and delivers the power to the customer's equipment
via a power connector under the control of a central control unit. A customer
interested in purchasing power or using the telecommunications access makes
a payment into the payment processing unit which forwards the payment
information to the central control unit. From time to time the central control unit
reports the transaction information to a central computer system via its modem
which is connected to a telecommunication channel. Access to the same
telecommunication channel or another channel can be made available to the
customer via a switchable telecommunications access circuit which is also under
the control of the central control unit. The customer connects to the telecommunications
channel via the telecommunications access connector. The central
control unit provides information on the progress of the vending transaction to
the customer via the user interface. The central control unit determines when
the transaction is completed by sensing the cessation of power usage via the
power usage detection circuit or via customer action at the user interface. The
vending machine may be incorporated within a storage locker, or may be incorporated
with telephones in telephone booths, kiosks, and similar structures. The
vending machine may also be used to dispense electricity, telecommunications
channel access and other utilities to buildings and vehicles, including cars, boats
and airplanes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a postage metering system that includes a plurality of
closed and open meter printer modules (20, 24) operatively connected as part of a
metering network (10). A single postal security device (40) (PSD) is coupled to the
network, either directly, through a personal computer or through one of the printer
modules. The PSD (40) includes unique identification and the ability to store postal value
and generate digital signatures. The printer modules (20, 24) function as a postage

Abstract: A pyrotechnic gas generant composition including a high oxygen balance compound or fuel which is the resulting reaction product of aminoguanidine nitrate and nitric acid. Specifically, the resulting reaction product is a yellow precipitate that can be used alone, with or without oxidizers or other additives, for very rapid self-deflagration or in combination with oxidizers and additives. In each instance, the gas generant composition provides both high gas output and low production of solid combustion products. Further, the precipitant is relatively non-hygroscopic and has a high burn rate. Specifically, the gas generating composition is useful as a gas generator for an air bag of an occupant restraint system for an automobile, gun propellants, inflation and expulsion devices, flotation devices, pyrotechnics, fire suppression devices and smokeless, reduced smoke and smokey rocket propellants.

Abstract: A connector (2) is provided with a safety element (70)
that is pivoted over a release grip portion (76) of a
latching arm (74). The safety element (70) prevents
inadvertent uncoupling of the connectors. The connector is

coupling of the connectors when the safety element blocks
the release portion of the latch. The connector is thus
easy to couple without requiring subsequent actuation of a
safety element, yet prevents inadvertent release.
