Abstract: An IC card automated transaction terminal is provided to
operate in conjunction with an IC card capable of storing a
plurality of different balances relating to commercial
transactions. For example, the IC card can provide separate

information. IC card reading/writing means are provided in
the terminal for reading and writing such information stored
in said IC card along with input means for inputting
transacted sum information and information storage means for
storing electronic money information equivalent to transacted

Filed: 1996-12-05
Abstract: A working vehicle (1) contains a chassis (2) with a driver's cabin (3) which is equipped with a step construction (30) with at least one step (5). According to the invention the step (5) is coupled to a lifting and lowering device (11) which is controllable by means of switching devices (21) which are located at least in the vicinity of the step construction. Climbing in or out is thus considerably facilitated and does not involve any or hardly any burdening of the joints of the driver. It is expected that with this complaints of an orthopaedic nature with driver's can be decreased. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren zur Transaktionskontrolle
elektronischer Geldbörsensysteme in Form von Speicherchip- oder
Mikroprozessorkarten (Karten) mit mindestens einem
Identifikationsbereich und einem Zählerbereich beschrieben,
wobei durch das abbuchende Terminal vor einer Transaktion
jeweils mittels einer Authentifikation geprüft wird, ob die
Karte authentisch ist. Bei einem Abbuchungsvorgang wird von
der Karte neben einem Identifikationsbereich und einem
Zählerbereich auch ein weiterer Speicherbereich ausgelesen,
der einen integritätsgeschützten Transaktionszähler
beinhaltet, der nach einem erfolgreichen Abbuchungsvorgang
in dem Terminal um den Wert 1 erhöht, mit einem
Integritätsschutz versehen, an die Karte übertragen und
dort in den Speicherbereich, der den integritätsgeschützten
Transaktionszähler beinhaltet, eingeschrieben wird. Zur
Integritätsprüfung, zur Erhöhung des Transaktionszählers
sowie zum Erstellen einer neuen Integritätsinformation wird
ein Sicherheitsmodul eingesetzt. In einem Terminal bzw. in
einem Hintergrundsystem werden die Transaktionszähler auf
Plausibilität geprüft, wobei jeder Transaktionszählerstand
nur einem im System vorhanden sein darf. Bei Erkennen eines
doppelten Transaktionszählers mit dem gleichen Zählerstand,
werden die entsprechenden Karteninformationen auf einer
Sperrdatei gespeichert und die Karte wird sofort ungültig
gemacht oder automatisch eingezogen.

     The data receiving apparatus includes a plurality of data
decoding circuits, an error comparing circuit, and a data selector.
Each of the data decoding circuit includes a pair of A/D converters,
a demodulator, an discriminator. The pairs of A/D converters
convert an in-phase input signal I and a quadrature-phase input
signal Q into digital signals with different sampling phases,
respectively, and provide them to the demodulators. The
discriminators determine the logic state of the digital signals to
output logic signals and also determine errors existing between the
inputs and the outputs thereof. The error comparing circuit
compares the errors to determines the smallest one of them. The
data selector selects one out of the logic signals which has been
provided by one of the discriminators showing the smallest error
and provides it as decoded data.

tristate buffer during an initial stage of the high-impedance state.
After the initial stage of the high-impedance state, the base and
output terminal are disconnected from each other. A reverse
bias overvoltage occurring in the base-to-emitter P-N junction
and a current flow during the high-impedance state are
eliminated.

Abstract: A device (21) for metering the mass flow of bulk material, such as grain
or other crop material, comprises a sensor member (51) with a curved
surface (53) installed adjacent the outlet of a conveyor (12). The sensor
member (51) is mounted for pivotment about a transverse axis (P) and is
subject to the moment (M) resulting from the material flow along its
surface (53). A spring means (66) is provided to keep the sensor member
(51) in zero load position. The displacement of the sensor member (51) is
proportional to the mass flow rate. Changing friction coefficients µ
between the bulk material and the surface (53) will affect the flow pattern
therealong, but an array (70) of pivot points can be found about which the
measured moments (M) remain substantially insensitive to these flow
changes. 
     Alternatively a force component may be sensed of the material flow on the
sensor surface (53) in a particular direction. A direction can be found
wherein the force component is equally insensitive to flow changes caused
by friction coefficient changes. 
     Such metering devices may be used in grain and forage harvesters,
wherein they need less recalibration under varying harvesting conditions.

medium cassette having a recording medium, a cassette 
case for accommodating the recording medium, a storage 
device for storing recording information recorded on the 
recording medium and information about the cassette 
itself, and a plurality of terminals for connecting the

from the storage device through the connector, and a 
display device for displaying the information read by 
the reading device. Simply connecting the plurality of 
terminals of the recording medium cassette to the 
connector of the recording/reproducing apparatus allows 
to display the recording information about the recording 
medium cassette, thus providing recorded contents of the 
recording medium cassette quickly and easily as well as

includes a key identification that matches a system key and
if not, the operation of the software module is limited to
a demonstration mode if that mode is allowable.

Abstract: In order to estimate the number of message transmissions dispatched to a radio
pager wherein messages transmitted are sequentially numbered, a transmitted signal is
acquired which has been found to be directed to the pager. Thereafter, a check is
made to determine if a message number included in the transmitted signal is detected.
If the message number is detected, the message number detected is stored in a
memory. The number of acquired transmitted signals is incremented except where the
message number detected is discontinuous with a previous message number which
was detected immediately before the detection of the instant message. Then the
number of message transmissions is estimated or determined using the number of
acquired transmitted signals, the message number detected stored in the above, and
the above mentioned previous message number.

Abstract: A communication system transmitting messages includes two-way
ranging by communicating between a target vehicle (18) and
a traffic controller station (20) through a plurality of satellites
(14, 24). A set of the plurality of satellites (14) may
be used simultaneously or sequentially to transmit and receive
signals from the ground station (20) to a target vehicle (18),
preferably an aircraft in the preferred embodiment. Each aircraft
includes a particular ranging code combined with a message
signal to selectively process the ranging data supplied to
each vehicle (12). The ranging determination may be used in
conjunction with alternative ranging devices, such as a global
positioning system (24), in order to improve the accuracy of
the estimations provided by the ranging processing. Nevertheless,
the method and apparatus of the present invention provide
relatively accurate state vectors (34) without the need
for precisely accurate timing synchronization at each of the
stations connected by communication links.

Abstract: The dispenser enables a multiplicity of doses of a substance in powder or granular form contained in a reservoir to be dispensed in succession. To form a dose a shaft must be rotated relative to a part of the dispenser, the shaft having to be substantially vertical while the dose is being formed. Between the shaft and said part of the dispenser there is provided a joint which prevents relative rotation if the shaft is not substantially vertical, or which although allowing relative rotation enables a signal to be emitted which can be sensed by the user. In particular the dispenser can be a multi-dose inhaler for medicaments.   <IMAGE>
