Abstract: A prepayment commodity supply system for use in the supply of utilities such as electricity, gas and water to a customer comprises a prepayment token, typically a memory card or a smart card, into which credit data representative of an amount of credit or an amount of the commodity is entered by a vending machine in return for payment by the customer. The token is then inserted by the customer into a commodity supply control device, typically a meter, to enable the supply of an amount of the commodity determined by the credit data. The system includes simple (or "dumb") vending machines which are cheap enough to be installed in post offices, corner shops and the like, and each of which communicates by phone with a more sophisticated "special action partner". The special action partner periodically downloads a "grey list" of customers/tokens requiring some kind of special action to its dumb terminals, and each of the latter, on recognising a customer/token on the grey list, automatically contacts the special action partner, which then performs the special action via the dumb terminal. A particular special action is the creation of a duplicate token to replace a lost token, achieved by using an authorising code number which is given to the customer when he reports the loss and which is then entered into the dumb terminal along with a blank token to enable the special action partner to create the duplicate via the dumb terminal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a process for cutting hollow glassware, especially hollow glassware (3) with a rounded cross-section, an upper (36) and a lower (37) stress region on either side of an intended cut are produced thermally in the glass at a temperature slightly below its softening temperature by two laser beams (33, 34) substantially symmetrically to the intended cut. A crack inducing point (13) brought briefly into contact with the glass surface between the stress regions (36, 37) is used to make an initial crack on a section of the cut line which extends to form a high-grade cut around the entire circumference, thus obviating the need for subsequent grinding of the separation surface. The initial crack may also be made by focussing the laser beams (39, 40) in the area be tween the stress regions (35, 36). It is also possible to use only one laser beam to produce a single stress region, and in this case the initial crack is made substantially in the middle of the single stress region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for determining potential shifts between electronic modules in a wire bus network or for determining the level of agreement of their respective communication operating levels in network connection. The bus medium comprises at least one wire which is galvanically connected to the electronic modules. According to the invention, an offset voltage is added in at least one bus subscriber (test subscriber) on the transmission side to (at least) one (of the two) dominant normal source levels and a test message is sent by the test subscriber in that state onto the bus network. The source level is thus modified in a predetermined way. Depending on whether the (at least) one (of the two) dominant source levels is lowered or raised by the adjustable offset voltage, the subscriber affected by the (reference) potential error gains or loses his reception capability. This is evaluated. The device comprises co-operative potential control means connected or capable of connection to the transceiver function of a bus subscriber and together with those control means forms at least one controllable voltage source at least in relation to parts of the transmitter/receiver system, said voltage source allowing modification of a dominant source level during transmission and/or at least one discriminant signal level in reception.
