Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: ''SISTEMAS DE SEGURANçA PARA COIBIR O FURTO DE MERCADORIAS DE LOJAS DE VENDA A VAREJO'' Um sistema de registro de saída para uma loja de venda à varejo é apresentado, compreendendo uma leitora de código de barras (10) e um desativador de etiqueta antifurto (14). A leitora de código de barras produz um sinal depois de um código de barras de um artigo ser lido com sucesso pela leitora. Este sinal é usado para habilitar o desativador por um período de tempo predeterminado, após o qual o desativador é desabilitado até a próxima leitura bem sucedida do código de barras. Isto minimiza a possibilidade de um caixa ser capaz de desativar a etiqueta anti-furto em um artigo sem ter lido o código de barras do artigo e, em conseq³ência, sem ter entrado a venda. O sistema pode ainda incluir uma micro chave para a detecção do fechamento e da abertura da gaveta de dinheiro. Se a gaveta for deixada aberta, mas os códigos de barras são lidos pela leitora de código de barra, isto poderá indicar a possibilidade de mercadorias serem levadas da loja por meio fraudulento.

Title: Surface treated rolling bearing and manufacturing method thereof
Inventor: TAKEMURA HIROMICHI
IPC: C21D9/40
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: In the case of a rolling bearing used in an environment where water is likely to penetrate into a lubricant, such a phenomenon is known that hydrogen ions generated by the decomposition of the lubricant are adsorbed to the race surface to be turned into hydrogen atoms for accumulation in a high-strain location (in proximity of a maximum shearing stress position) to cause stress corrosion crack separation. A rolling bearing comprising an oxide film made of chromium iron oxide and 1 to 1000 nm thick which is formed on at least one of a race surface and the rolling surface of a rolling element and a method of manufacturing the rolling bearing, wherein the oxide film can prevent the penetration of hydrogen generated by the decomposition of water mixed in a lubricant into a bearing member matrix to prevent an early separation of the race surface or the rolling surface of a rolling element, thereby prolonging significantly a rolling life. The oxide film can be simply formed by tempering a bearing member and then heating it again in the air at temperatures lower than the tempering temperature.

Title: Collection and delivery system
Inventor: MILLER STUART JAMES
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-11-26
Abstract: A system for the collection and delivery of goods, particularly to and from automated delivery and collection points or lockerbanks, uses the customer's telephone number or email address as an identifier for each delivered item. Each customer's preferred delivery address is stored on a database and accessed by means of the identifier. When ordering goods, the customer gives his telephone number or email address to an etailer who marks this on the package as the sole means of addressing the package. The identifier may also be used by the delivery person or the customer to access the automated delivery facility. Optionally the delivery person must also enter a code identifying himself, and the customer must also enter a security PIN number when collecting his goods. Alternatively a one-time collection code is generated for each delivery and communicated to the customer, who enters it together with his identifier when collecting the delivered item. Alternatively the customer enters the recipient's identifier into a lockerbank together with a package, and the lockerbank communicates the identifier automatically to the delivery organisation to initiate collection and delivery of the package. The system offers increased convenience for customers ordering goods or services over the telephone or internet.
