Title: Wireless debit card system and method
Inventor: SCHILLING DONALD L
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 1993-10-06
Abstract: A wireless debit card communication system comprising a radio unit, a base station, and an end station. The radio unit, for example, a radio telephone, includes a first processor, a reader for reading a credit amount and a personal access number from a debit card, and a transceiver for communicating, using radio waves, a credit signal. The base station receives and relays the credit signal over a communications channel to the end station. The end station includes a switch to generate a first control signal to allocate the credit amount of the debit card to the radio unit, and to set a radio unit access number of the radio unit to the personal access number of the debit card with a communications path through the base station. The end station also generates a second control signal for changing the credit amount and the personal access number of the debit card. The base station may be connected to a debit meter. The radio unit and the debit meter respond to the second control signal to change the credit amount and the personal access number using magnetic writers or writer processors to store an updated credit amount and personal access number on a magnetic strip on a debit card or on a chip on the debit card as the debit card is used in the radio unit. The personal access number may be used as a telephone number of the radio unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for digitally franking postal articles during which a digital postage paid impression is generated by a computer means and applied to a postal article. Postal article-specific data (50) for one or more postal articles (30) to be created are generated in a first computer means (10) at a customer, and the access to a remote second computer means (20) at a service provider is granted. Postal article-specific data for one or more postal articles are transmitted to the second computer means (20).  The postal article-specific data are processed in the second computer means (20), and data for a digital postage paid impression (40) are generated for each postal article. Afterwards, processing data are transmitted to a accounting component (70), and a deduction of the franking is carried out at the customer. The postal-article specific data are transmitted with a digital postage paid impression (40) for each postal article to be created to the first computer means (10), and the data are recorded in the first computer means (10). The postal article-specific data (51) are then sent to a processing, and the data are printed for each respective postal article, whereupon the printed postal articles are placed in envelopes in the processing means (60).

IPC: H04B10/17
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: Apparatus, and a corresponding method, for spatially isolating a transmit beam and a receive beam, which, in satellite communication systems, are inherently separated by a look ahead angle. A receive beam separation mirror is positioned in the receive beam path but out of the transmit beam path, and the receive beam is reflected along a path separated from the transmit beam path.  The mirror may be annular, allowing the transmit beam to be directed through the center of the mirror. In applications where a desired isolation angle is different from the look ahead angle, or where there is no look ahead angle, the receive beam separation mirror is used in conjunction with a dichroic beam splitter and at least one receive beam steering mirror, to achieve the desired angular separation.

Inventor: BRYDGES DAVID
IPC: B41F33/00
Filed: 2006-01-26
Abstract: Accurate on-line color control for a printing press can be obtained using intra-image color control. A concurrent spectrophotometer and imaging system (203, 310) can capture spectral reflectance data from predetermined measurement areas for each ink key zone of the press. The spectral reflectance data (204) can be compared to target reflectance values in the same standard color space, and a determination can be made as to whether the differences between the measured and target values exceed predetermined tolerances (208).  If the differences exceed these tolerances (208), a necessary adjustment to the appropriate ink key can be calculated to bring the color differences back to within tolerance. This approach is particularly beneficial in web offset printing, where the printed image is constantly moving and the press conditions are particularly variable.
