Abstract: An automatic transaction apparatus for taking a transaction requiring the acquisition of a signature is provided with a mechanism (3) for acquiring a signature. The signature acquisition mechanism includes a detector (24, 27) for detecting the execution of signature application. At the time of a signature acquisition processing, an advancement to the next processing step is taken when the execution of signature application is detected and information indicative of the completion of signature application is inputted. Thereby, the signature is surely recorded. The transaction requiring the acquisition of a signature includes a process for issuing a traveler's check. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pseudo multi-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (40) includes a sigma-delta modulator (41) with a multi-bit quantizer (46) and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) (47). An output of the DAC (47) provides an error signal of the modulator (41). The quantizer (46) provides a quantized signal having multiple bits ordered from a most-significant bit to a least-significant bit. At least two of these bits, including the most significant bit and a second bit which is not the most significant bit or a second most significant bit, are provided as inputs to the DAC (47). The remaining bits are provided as inputs to a prefilter (49), which performs the same transfer function as a comparable multi-bit modulator. A summing device (49) subtracts the output of the prefilter (48) from the quantized signal. A decimation filter (50) resamples the output of the summing device (49) to provide the output of the ADC (40).

Abstract: A fork (10) for use with a fork lift truck is manufactured from a plurality of lamination layers (30,32,34,36). The layers may be of the same material or different materials to reflect the stresses imposed on the different layers. Layers subjected to high tensile stresses may be manufactured from high tensile materials while layers subject to lesser stresses may be made from less expensive materials. The layers may occur in any one or more of the blade (12), shank (16) or heel (14) areas of the fork to meet the stresses involved. Various areas may have different numbers of layers, a particular advantage occurring in use of reinforcing layers in the heel (14) area. The lamination layers are secured to one another by adhesives or by welding or the like.

Abstract: Disclosed are a reactive ionized cluster beam deposition method and an apparatus for forming a deposited film on a substrate by the same method according to this invention. 
     The reactive ionized cluster beam deposition method according to this invention is embodied by utilizing two vacuum subregions partitioned by a partition wall formed with an opening. A closed heating crucible and an ionization accelerating unit are disposed in one vacuum subregion partitioned by the partition wall. A substrate is also disposed in the other vacuum subregion, and at the same time a reactive gas is introduced thereinto. Degrees of vacuums in the two vacuum subregions partitioned by the partition wall are equal to or different from each other. Particularly, a gas concentration in the latter vacuum subregion is enhanced. Then, the ionized cluster beams formed in the former vacuum subregion are introduced into the latter vacuum subregion via the opening of the partition wall and react to the reactive gas within the latter vacuum subregion. The ionized cluster beams reacting to the reactive gas impinge on the substrate, thereby forming the deposited film on the substrate surface.

Abstract: A blood vessel clamp has a pair of arms (2, 4) each supporting a respective jaw (8, 12). The arms are pivotally interconnected by a box joint (26) formed by an intermediate portion (22) of one arm (2) extending through a slot in an intermediate portion of the other arm (4) and imprisoned therein by a pivot pin (28). The internal wall of the slot is provided with a protrusion (30) at a location remote from the pin (28) such that as a part (32) of the intermediate arm (22) enters the slot during the last stages of closure of the jaws (8, 12) it engages the protrusion (30) and forces the opposite walls of the slot apart against their own resilience. This creates an increased stiffness in the joint (26) so that the jaws will remain in any desired position until a predetermined force is applied to overcome the stiffness whereupon they can be moved to a new position.

Abstract: On réduit l'anisotropie de résistance de produits corroyés en alliage d'aluminium-lithium en soumettant ces types d'alliage à des techniques de trempe T8 améliorée. Le produit corroyé, après un traitement par recuit de mise en solution et par trempe, est soumis à des étapes combinées de laminage à froid et d'étirage avant le vieillissement. Le laminage à froid peut présenter une plage de réduction de 1 à 20 % et l'étirage se situe dans une plage comprise entre 0,5 et 10 %. Le laminage à froid peut être effectué en un seul ou en plusieurs passages. Lorsque l'on utilise plusieurs passages, le laminage peut être effectué en différentes directions afin de réduire davantage l'anisotropie de résistance pour ces types d'alliage. La table X et la figure 8 résument les résultats des techniques (D), (E) ou (F) de l'invention en terme de valeurs supérieure et inférieure de la limite apparente d'élasticité (TYS) et effectuent une comparaison entre ces valeurs et celles des techniques classiques. La différence relativement faible entre les valeurs TYS obtenues selon la technique de l'invention laisse supposer que les alliages d'Al-Li corroyés pourraient être industriellement exploités dans des applications nécessitant une résistance élevée.

Abstract: In a method for the production of cast strands from metals, especially steels, by continuous casting in vertical or curved-path installations, the molten metal level in the mould is recorded continuously by a continuously acting measurement system and held constant, preferably automatically, by means of a semi-automatic or fully-automatic control system; the inflow of metal into the mould from a distributor is adjusted by varying the outflow cross-section and the molten metal level in the mould is held constant by continuous adaptation of the strand withdrawal speed. A change in the outflow cross-section can be effected by adjusting a casting plug or by actuating a sliding gate plate known per se and a change in the casting rate can be effected by changing the outflow cross-section.
