Filed: 1999-11-22
Abstract: This invention relates to authentication cards, that is, cards usually of the dimensional format established for "smart cards" which provide data to a terminal for the purpose of establishing the authorization of the holder of the card to use the terminal. An aspect of the invention is a card incorporating a microcontroller, a contact interface in accordance with ISO 7816, and an acoustic interface for outputting FSK modulated data using telephone voice-based frequencies, wherein the microcontroller generates an internal clock signal, but the contact interface is synchronized by an external clock signal received through the interface, when communicating through the latter, and the microcontroller utilizes the internally generated clock signal to generate frequencies used when communicating through the acoustic interface, the FSK modulation being characterized by the ratio of the frequencies used rather than the absolute frequencies. Another aspect of the invention is a membrane switch comprising three superposed membranes supported within a recess in the card such that the inner membrane and substantial portions of the peripheries of the outer and spacer membranes are independently supported by the material of the card. Another aspect of the invention is the mounting of a disk-type acoustic transducer element within a cavity defined within a core layer of the card (the core being sandwiched between two outer layers, using conductive elastomeric bodies to provide electric connections to the transducer element without substantially dampening resonance of the transducer. A still further aspect of the invention provides programmable non-volatile memory in the microcontroller and additional contacts connected to programming leadouts of the microcontroller for use in programming that memory.

Filed: 1999-12-10
Abstract: An ink tank apparatus having a reservoir for containing ink, is improved to control or eliminate the harmful effects of foaming, misting and splatter of ink in the ink tank. A fluid pump delivers ink to a printer system, having an associated reservoir, and a vacuum means acts on the reservoir to return unused ink from the printer to the reservoir. The returning ink is caused to enter the reservoir at an angle so the returned ink tends to stay near a surface of the reservoir ink level.      In particular a ramp or series of ramps are provided along which the returning ink travels. Furthermore, the returned ink is ported into a confined inlet chamber from which the returned ink drains into the ink tank, and the returned ink is ported into this confined inlet chamber so as to produce a vortex-like flow in the inlet chamber. A drain port from the inlet chamber can be restricted to reduce pulsations in the returned flow, and baffles can be used to inhibit the flow of mist to the vacuum port of the ink tank.

Inventor: ROUILLARD JEAN
IPC: H01M50/572
Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: A bypass apparatus and method for series connected energy storage devices. Each of the energy storage devices coupled to a common series connection has an associated bypass unit connected thereto in parallel. A current bypass unit includes a sensor which is coupled in parallel with an associated energy storage device or cell and senses an energy parameter indicative of an energy state of the cell, such as cell voltage. A  bypass switch is coupled in parallel with the energy storage cell and operable between a non-activated state and an activated state. The bypass switch, when in the non-activated state, is substantially non-conductive with respect to current passing through the energy storage cell and, when in the activated state, provides a bypass current path for passing current to the series connection so as to bypass the associated cell. A controller controls activation of the bypass switch in response to the voltage of the cell deviating from a pre-established voltage setpoint. The controller may be included within the bypass unit or be disposed on a control platform external to the bypass unit. The bypass switch may, when activated, establish a permanent or a temporary bypass current path.

Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: The invention relates in the first instance to a method for rotating an article which has an underside and lateral surfaces, more particularly for rotating a folding carton having the shape of a cuboid. The article is conveyed along a first lane (1), then rotated in order to re-align the article, and then conveyed along a second lane (2) which extends in the direction of the first lane. The rotation of the article takes place under the action of an element (30) which is in contact with a lateral surface of the article.        To enable the rotation of the article to take place in a very tight space at a high conveying speed, it is proposed that the contact element (30) moves in the direction of the lanes (1, 2), being moved against the rear lateral surface of the article, based on the direction in which the article is being conveyed, and being in rolling contact therewith (roller 39).        In the case of the apparatus for implementing the method it is regarded as essential for the contact element to be mounted in a revolving conveyor device (23, 24) which has a conveying line (26) extending parallel to the conveying direction of the first lane, the contact element incorporating a freely rotatable roller (39).
