摘要:
A code formed of bars having one type of bar for one piece of information and another type of bar for another piece of information with the bars being formed of magnetizable material and in which the ratio of the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave produced by the leading edges of both types of bars being moved past a character reading system is substantially increased by slanting or inclining the leading edge of one type of bar with respect to the movement while maintaining the leading edge of the other type of bar perpendicular to the movement.

A SYSTEM FOR SELECTING AT A REMOTE STATION ANY ONE OF A PLURALITY OF OUTPUTS ARE A CENTRAL STATION IN WHICH THE SELECTION IS ACCOMPLISHED BY INITIALLY TRANSLATING THE SELECTION INTO A BINARY CODE OF TONES, PASSING THE TONES OVER A WIRE INTERCONNECTING THE REMOTE AND CENTRAL STATIONS AND THEN TRANSLATING THE CODE OF TONES INTO THE OUTPUT SELECTED BY USE OF A BINARY CODED RELAY MEANS.

A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STANDARDIZING TWO DENSITOMETERS TO HAVE THE SAME READING FOR SAMPLES HAVING THE SAME OPTICAL DENSITY EVEN THOUGH BOTH DENSITOMETERS ARE NOT IDENTICALLY CALIBRATED BY READING THE SAMPLE WITH ONE DENSITOMETER AND NOTING ITS DENSITY. AN OPAQUE SCREEN HAVING AN APERTURE IS THEN POSITIONED BEFORE THE LIGHT ENTRANCE OF THE DENSITOMETER WITH THE SIZE OF THE APERTURE BEING ADJUSTED TO PRODUCE THE SAME DENSITOMETER READING AS THE SAMPLE. AN APAQUE SCREEN HAVING THE SAME SIZE OPENING IS THEN PLACED BEFORE THE LIGHT ENTRANCE OF THE SECOND DENSITOMETER AND THIS SECOND DENSITOMETER IS ADJUSTED TO HAVE THE SAME REFLECTIVITY READING AS THE FIRST DENSITOMETER. A SAMPLE ACCORDINGLY HAVING THE SAME OPTICAL DENSITY WILL BE READ IDENTICALLY BY BOTH METERS. ALSO, THE OPENINGS, ACCURATELY SIZED FOR DESIRED DENSITY READINGS MAY BE USED FOR CALIBRATING A DENSITOMETER.
摘要:
A document such as a credit card formed with magnetizable indicia in the form of short and long individual bars intermingled according to a code to produce, when read by a system having a magnetic reading head, an electrical representation of the indicia to enable automatic identification of the card. The document can be passed beneath the reading head over a wide range of speeds thereby enabling the use of an inexpensive reading system. When the document is a plural layer credit card, the code is formed on an inner surface of the card to prevent erosion and alteration of the code.

A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING A FACSIMILE COPY OF AN ORIGINAL SUBJECT MATTER SUCH AS A PICTURE, DRAWING, PHOTOGRAPH, ETC. IN WHICH THE COPY HAS THE VARYING SHADES OR TONES OF BLACKNESS THAT CORRESPOND TO THOSE IN THE ORIGINAL BY UTILIZING A PRESSURE-RESPONSIVE COPY SHEET AND A STYLUS WITH THE STYLUS HAVING BOTH A VARIABLE PRESSURE AGAINST THE TRANSFER SHEET AND ALSO BEING VIBRATED TO VARY THE WIDTH OF THE LINE ON THE SHEET.
