Abstract: A signature verification method at a point of service (POS) work station requires only a single signature from a customer for purposes of verification and payment. Also, a signed receipt (22) is produced without requiring an additional signature. A first signature verification method begins by entering an account number by swiping a magnetic card containing the account number through a magnetic stripe reader (24). A POS terminal (14) sends the account number to a database (20). The database (20) sends a file signature associated with the account number from the database to the POS terminal (14). A customer enters a current signature by signing a representation of a receipt in a write input device (22) with a stylus (36). The current and file signatures are displayed one above the other on a monitor (16). Finally, an operator visually compares the current and file signatures. An alternative method visually compares a file signature with a signature on the back of the magnetic card (119), and then compares the card signature with a currently signed signature.

Abstract: 5 n7 A postage meter has a meter section powered by house current in normal operation, but which requires auxiliary power source batteries (30,31) while in transit. A circuit is provided which, in connection with a stored program, tests the auxiliary power source prior to the period away from the house current power, thus providing a warning if the auxiliary power is unlikely to sustain the device for the duration of the period away from house current power. The test circuit applies a test load (33) approximating the load of the meter section to be powered. A loop in the program of a CPU (70) determines the period of time during which the test load is applied to the batteries and then a voltage comparator (53) assures that the battery output voltage is sufficiently high in the range of usable voltage therefrom to assure successful operation of the postage meter section during resetting at the post office. A post office switch (36) for use by a postal worker can be closed only when a postal worker unlocks an associated lock. This delivers auxiliary power from the batteries to the meter electronics including the CPU. A routine detects this and causes the CPU to provide an output to a switching transistor that continues to supply the auxiliary power for the brief interval necessary for resetting.

Abstract: In the case of a circuit arrangement for generating a pulse train, which is proportional to rotation speed, for a DC motor with a commutator, in the case of which motor a frequency-selective filter is provided with a limiting frequency which is variable in accordance with the motor rotation speed, the lower limiting frequency is clearly below the pulse repetition frequency when the motor rotation speed virtually does not vary, but is approximately in the range of the pulse repetition frequency when the rotation speed varies. In consequence, it is possible temporarily to achieve a differentiating behaviour of the bandpass during changes in rotation speed and thus to determine precisely the rotation position of the DC motor with a commutator, during these changes, as well. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A flexible coupling (1,101,201) has an inner member (5,105.205) and a resilient body (4,104,204) mounted on said hub (5,105,205) and connected thereto. A reinforcement ring (8,108,208) is bonded within the resilient body (4,104,204). The ring (8,108,208) has apertures (9,109,209) lined with tapered rubber tubes (10,110,210). Fixing means for connecting the coupling (1,101,201) to the flywheel (3,103,203) are locatable within the rubber tubes (10,110,210). The taper causes the fixing to induce a precompression in the rubber tubes (10,110,210) when the coupling is assembled and fitted in place. The coupling minimises backlash, provides extra torsional flexibility and permits blind assembly.

Abstract: An actuator for precisely moving and positioning a manufacturing component includes a housing on which a magnet is mounted. An electrical coil is wound around a coil piston which is slidingly mounted on the housing for movement within the magnetic field generated by the magnet. A rod, having a member for gripping the component, is attached for translational movement with the coil piston, and a source of electrical current is connected to the coil which is wrapped around the coil piston. A drive motor is mounted on the device, and a linkage connects the drive motor to the grip for rotation of the grip as desired. In the operation of the actuator, a current is selectively passed through the coil. This current in the coil then moves the coil piston and the attached grip within the magnetic field to position the component as desired in translation. Also, the drive motor can be activated to move the grip in rotation as desired. Additionally, position sensors can be mounted on the device to determine the location of the coil piston and a controller can be incorporated in the actuator to use this position determination for controlling movement of the coil piston and the attached grip in translation and rotation.

Abstract: In an interactive network board, method and apparatus for multi-tasking independently executable programs, makes use of a ROM, disposed on the board, for storing (i) a monitor program, and (ii) first and second independently executable programs. The first and second programs each include a relinquish command. A processor is disposed on the board for downloading the monitor program and the first and second programs from the ROM to a RAM. The processor executes the first program in RAM until the first program relinquishes control. The monitor program then begins execution and stores in the RAM information which indicates the execution state of the first program. The second program then begins execution in RAM until the second program relinquishes control. The monitor program then recommences execution to store in the RAM information which indicates the execution state of the second program. Thereafter, the monitor program recommences execution of the first program, preferably from the point at which the first program relinquished control.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary closure for the releasable connection of components, having a closure pin which is supported, via a spring element, on one component, the pin shank projecting through mutually aligned shaped holes of the components and, at its free end, bearing locking protrusions which, when one component is placed against the other component, can be introduced into the shaped hole of the other component, can be guided axially through the shaped hole of the other component counter to the restoring force of the spring element and, by subsequent rotation of the closure pin, can be transferred into a locking position behind the other component. Between the pin head and the locking protrusions, the pin shank bears at least two further stop protrusions which, due to their position, configuration and dimensioning relative to the shaped holes of the two components, prevent rotation of the closure pin in the open rest position and in the definitive locking position, but permit the closure pin to rotate through a predetermined angle when the closure pin is pressed down fully counter to the restoring spring. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The process comprises impregnating a solution while controlling the concentration in response to a quantity of transmitted light from a laser beam through a soot-like deposit of core forming glass (26), by which the desired doping concentration is ensured independently of the density of the soot-like core forming glass. 
     A modification to the process comprises repeatedly depositing a soot-like core forming glass (26) at different temperatures, by which a distribution of a doping concentration in the radial direction of the core can be set as desired. 
     A further modification to the process comprises forming two constricted portions (28) at opposite ends of a quartz reaction tube (4), charging a solution of a compound of a rare earth element as a solution into the section of the tube between the constricted portions (28) for doping. By this method, the doping concentration becomes uniform along the length of the optical fiber preform (30) with defects being rarely produced and without any complicated operation.

Abstract: An interval [0, 1] of the output of neural network is equally divided into M (M being an integer of two or more), and the numbers or frequencies of data for the correct/incorrect patterns contained in the i-th interval [(i - 1)/M, i/M] are µ1i and µ0i, respectively (where, i = 1 ... M). In this case, if this network provides an output contained in the i-th interval to unknown pattern data, this pattern is stored as a likelihood conversion table so that the pattern outputs likelihood P1i, which is a category, in an equation P1i = (µ1i + 1)/(µ1i + µ0i + 2). Then, when a value contained in the i-th interval [(i - 1)/M, i/M] is output from a neural network, the likelihood convertor receives it as an input and outputs P1i which is so to speak normalized likelihood. 
     Because the intervention of such likelihood convertor makes it possible for each network to be adjusted to output likelihood, the variation of learning is corrected for the networks so that the output from each network can be compared with each other. That is, a category provided the highest likelihood can be determined to be the most probable candidate.
