Abstract: An improved modular currency validator and stacker with a removable currency cassette and a removable currency validator and transport unit is described. The cassette and the validator and transport unit are slidably guided into their operating positions using guides in the chassis, and a currency transport extends from an entry in the validator and transport unit to a prestacking position in the removable cassette. Engagement of a transfer gear in the chassis with gears in the validator and transport unit and the cassette is enhanced by offsetting the gear center lines in a direction perpendicular to the guides, and by enlarging the operating pitch of the gears.

Abstract: A food mixer is disclosed in which a variable speed 
facility is provided by a variable transmission ratio belt 
drive incorporated in the drive train between an electric 
motor and a whipping or mixing tool. The belt drive 
comprises a V-belt extending around first and second 
pulleys each comprising two discs one of which is movable 
towards and away from the other. In the first pulley, the 
upper disc can be forced towards the lower disc by downward 
pivoting of a lever operated by an actuator, whilst in the 
second pulley, the lower disc is urged by a spring upwardly 
towards the upper disc. The effective transmission ratio 
is sensed by a position sensor acting on the lever and 
which provides a corresponding signal to controller 
circuitry which compares the sensed ratio with a pre-set 
ratio and operates the actuator to bring the sensed ratio 
and pre-set ratio into correspondence.

Abstract: A light-scattering optical system is incorporated in an AFM instrument for a large sample. The instrument is equipped with an optical microscope. Incident light is introduced into the optical microscope to provide a dark field. The incident angle to the surface of a sample is made variable. The incident light is introduced into the main enclosure of the AFM through two optical fibers. Light reflected from the surface of the sample is received by a detector split into two parts. The dark field microscope is automatically brought to focus in response to signals from the detector. The whole apparatus is enclosed in a sound-insulating dark box to enhance the S/N during detection of scattered light.

Abstract: A karaoke apparatus produces a karaoke accompaniment which accompanies a singing voice of an actual player, and concurrently creates a harmony voice originating from a virtual player. In the karaoke apparatus, a memory device (48) stores voice information of the virtual singer. An input device collects the singing voice of the actual player (27). An analyzing device (41) analyzes an audio frequency of the collected singing voice. A synthesizing device (43) processes the stored voice information based on the analyzed audio frequency to synthesize the harmony voice having another audio frequency which is set in harmony with the analyzed audio frequency. An output device (45,51) mixes the collected singing voice and the synthesized harmony voice with each other, and outputs the mixed singing and harmony voices along with the karaoke accompaniment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for mixing a containerized concentrate with diluent from a supply system. In the method, a container of concentrate is placed within a container station. The container is opened. A flowable portion of the concentrate from the container is drained into a mixing volume. A first portion of diluent is introduced into the mixing volume. A residual portion of the concentrate is washed from the container with a second portion of the diluent to produce a volume of wash diluent. The wash diluent is added to the mixing volume. The first and second portions of diluent have a total volume proportional to the total volume of concentrate. The draining is at least substantially completed prior to the washing. The apparatus has a mixing tank and a container that retains the container and delivers the concentrate, through a concentrate outlet, to a mixing tank. An opener is disposed to open the container within the container station. A diluent source receives diluent from the diluent supply system and delivering an aloquot of diluent to the mixing tank. The diluent source is directly coupled to the supply system. The diluent source is separated from the mixing tank by an air gap. A washer receives diluent from the diluent source. The washer delivers diluent to the container station through the concentrate outlet to rinse the container. A controller actuates the washer at least substantially after the delivering of the concentrate to the mixing tank.

Abstract: A plurality of elements of a document is classified into a plurality of services respectively relating to a meaning, and a plurality of nodes respectively indicating one element are prepared in a node preparing unit. Therefore, each of services is a partial set of nodes. Also, a plurality of inner-service links respectively connecting a pair of nodes of the same service are prepared by an inner-service link preparing unit, so that a reference relationship between the nodes is indicated by one inner-service link. Also, a plurality of inter-service links respectively connecting a pair of nodes of different services are prepared by an inter-service link preparing unit, so that a reference relationship between the nodes of different services is indicated by one inter-service link. A hyper-text document is prepared by connecting the nodes prepared by the node preparing unit through the inner-service links for each service and connecting the nodes of the services through the inter-service links. Accordingly, because the nodes are classified into the services, the hyper-text document can be easily prepared, and the hyper-text document can be easily renewed. Therefore, a user can easily manage the hyper-text document.

Abstract: There is disclosed a super-high speed light transmission method
making use of quasi-solitons. Chirped stationary pulses are transmitted
through a fiber (OF a-1 , OF b-1 , OF x-1 ). At a position where the effect of the
chirp becomes weak and the sign of the chirp reverses, the sign of the chirp is
reversed by a dispersion compensation fiber (OF a-2 , OF b-2 , OF x-2 ) or fiber
grating connected to the fiber in order to recover the initial chirp. The
dispersion profile of each of the fibers (OF a-1 , OF a-2 , OF b-1 , OF b-2 , OF x-1 , OF x-2 )
is properly controlled in order to produce stationary quasi-solitons having a
stable pulse shape. The method can prevent widening of pulses, which
would otherwise occur due to dispersion.
