Title: Currency discriminator having a jam detection and clearing mechanism and method of clearing a jam
Inventor: MENNIE DOUGLAS U
IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 1995-09-07
Abstract: A currency counting and discrimination machine for rapidly counting and discriminating currency bills is set forth having a jam detection and clearing mechanism. The machine has a transport mechanism which engages and transports the currency bills, one at a time, along a transport path from an input receptacle to an output receptacle. A sensing device for scanning and counting the currency bills is adjacent a segment of the transport path. Several sensors along the transport path detect when a currency bill becomes jammed. Once a jammed currency bill is detected, the operation of the transport mechanism is interrupted. A portion of the transport mechanism is then adjusted to relieve pressure exerted on the jammed currency bill by the transport mechanism. The transport mechanism is then reactivated to remove the jammed currency bill from the transport path.

Patent CA-2207563-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PAULSON PETER O
IPC: G01N29/14
Filed: 1997-06-11
Abstract: Structural cables, for example those in suspension bridges, are monitored by acoustic sensors placed along their length. Breakage of a wire forming part of the cable or slippage of the cable in the clamps retaining it gives rise to an acoustic signal. The signal is recorded and its location is found from the relative times at which it arrives at two sensors (except in the case of slippage, where the signal may not be strong enough to reach two sensors.) Elements of the signal can be examined to distinguish between breakage of a wire forming part of the cable, breakage of a wire of a cable attached to the cable being monitored, or slippage of the cable in its clamps.

Title: Method and apparatus to update or change a network directory
Inventor: OLDS DALE R
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1995-12-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dynamically updating computer programs that are providing X.500 directory services without interruption of service. Upon receiving a call to update a computer program providing directory services, a process or thread is executed that authenticates the user making the reload request, loads a program loader, renames the then currently running directory services program, and calls another process or thread, while it awaits completion of the second process or thread. The second process or thread loads and initializes the new directory services computer program and then interacts with the program loader and the new directory services computer program to determine if the old and new directory services programs are compatible. If the old and new directory services computer programs are not compatible, the second process or thread aborts the load and transmits an abort signal to the first process or thread.  If the old and the new directory services computer programs are compatible, the second process or thread transmit a commit signal to the first process or thread. The first thread upon receiving a commit signal from the second process or signal removes itself and the old directory services computer program from memory. Upon receiving an abort signal from the second process or thread, the first process or thread changes the name of the old directory services computer program back to its original name and unload itself and the loader program.

Patent CA-2218634-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LUPIEN WILLIAM A
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1996-04-26
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un réseau d'adaptation permettant de mettre en correspondance des ordres d'achat et des ordres de vente en prenant en compte un profil de satisfaction et de quantité. Le réseau d'adaptation comporte un certain nombre de terminaux de négociation permettant d'introduire des ordres. Ces ordres sont fournis sous la forme d'un profil de densité de satisfaction représentant un niveau de satisfaction de négociation d'un instrument particulier selon diverses combinaisons (notamment de prix et de quantité). Généralement, tout ordre est soit un ordre d'achat, soit un ordre de vente. Les terminaux de négociants sont couplés à un ordinateur de gestion des correspondances. Cet ordinateur de gestion des correspondances peut recevoir en entrée les profils de densité de satisfaction introduits au niveau de chacun des terminaux de négociation. L'ordinateur de gestion des correspondances met en correspondance les ordres (tels qu'ils sont représentés pas le profil de densité de satisfaction de chaque négociant) de façon que chaque négociant soit assuré que le résultat d'ensemble du processus (en termes de prix et de quantité à satisfaire) soit au maximum de la satisfaction mutuelle de l'ensemble des négociants. Le processus de mise en correspondance peut s'exécuter en continu ou par lots. En général, le processus de mise en correspondance est anonyme. Ce processus de mise en correspondance peut s'exécuter en continu, par lots, ou en mode hybride des deux modes. Les profils de densité de satisfaction sans correspondances peuvent servir à fournir des informations de distribution et d'établissement du prix. Pour déterminer le niveau de satisfaction, on peut faire intervenir d'autres facteurs que le prix et la quantité. De façon facultative, il est possible d'attribuer à certains profils une priorité applicable au processus de mise en correspondance, de façon à tenir compte de règles boursières qui exigent, par exemple, parmi d'autres considérations, que priorité soit donnée aux ordres proposant le meilleur prix, quelle que soit le volume de la transaction. Ce réseau d'adaptation convient particulièrement aux transactions de bourses de valeurs et aux transactions de bourses de commerce.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for replacing a first guide catheter with a second guide catheter in a catheter system useful for angioplasty and the like. The system basically comprises a guide wire insertable in a body lumen past a lesion, a guide catheter for surrounding the guide wire and a functional catheter, such as a balloon catheter around the guide wire within the guide catheter. In order to exchange guide catheters, the functional catheter is removed, an exchange catheter is inserted into the guide catheter, the first guide catheter is withdrawn and a second guide catheter is inserted. The exchange catheter then can be removed and replaced with any desired functional catheter. The exchange catheter is tubular with a longitudinal slit through the tube wall. An introducer holds the guide wire in place, spreads the exchangecatheter slit and feeds the exchange catheter over the guide wire and allows theexchange catheter to resume the tubular shape with the guide wire coaxial therein. A preferred guide catheter includes an elongated, longitudinally slit, flexible tube, a length of beading secured to one end of the tube and a soft tip on the other end. The soft tip end may be formed into a curve for ease of positioning the catheter in a body vessel.

Title: Method in winding of a paper web
Inventor: MAKELA JARMO
IPC: B65H23/195
Filed: 1997-10-28
Abstract: A method for winding a paper web in which the paper web is wound by a winder or equivalent winding apparatus onto a roll and the running speed of the winder is controlled based on the frequency of rotation of the roll so that when the frequency of rotation of the roll approaches a range of oscillation, i.e., a range of frequency of rotation of the roll in which intensive oscillation occurs, the running speed is lowered quickly so that the frequency of rotation of the roll is reduced to a level lower than the lower frequency of the range of oscillation. Thereafter, the running speed of the winder is increased so that the frequency of rotation of the roll remains substantially constant until, e.g., the running speed of the winder prior to the reduction thereof as the frequency of rotation of the roll approached the range of oscillation is reached.
