Patent EP-1532504-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MILLER JOHN P
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: A method for printing indicia on mailpieces at an increased speed. The system includes:
a postal scale (12) for determining a postage amount for a mail piece; a printer
(18); and a postage meter (16) responsive to the postal scale (12) to control the
printer (18) to print an indicium. The postage meter (16) further includes: a
programmable controller (52); a secure mechanism (40) for accounting for postage
amounts expended; and an indicia generator (42). The programmable controller
(52) is programmed to: respond to a first signal (S1) from the postal scale (12)
to debit the secure mechanism (40) for a minimum postage amount and to generate
an indicium representative of the minimum amount; determine whether the determined
postage amount equals or greater than the minimum postage amount; delete the
indicum representative of the minimumm postage amount; generate an indicum
representative of the determined postage amount; and print the indicium.

Patent EP-1556713-A1 (EP)
Inventor: COURONNE SYLVIA
IPC: A63B71/06
Filed: 2003-10-25
Abstract: In a method for the continuous real time tracking of the position of at least one mobile object in a defined multidimensional space, at least one mobile transmitter module is attached to at least one mobile object and the signals from the at least one module are received by a stationary receiving and signal processing network and then centrally processed. The signals emitted by each transmitter module are electromagnetic waves sent within a frequency band range using time division multiplexing techniques. Due to the fact that the frequency band is used as a single channel for the purpose of maximizing the accuracy with which a position is detected, and due also to the fact that the communication process between the transmitters and the receivers is based on the principle of pseudo-random time division multiplexing using burst transmissions of low cross correlation with non synchronized pseudo-random patterns, there is created a method for the continuous tracking of the position of one or more mobile objects at any time and in any place which is of very high positional resolution and has a temporal resolution of just a few milliseconds.
