    Abstract: This invention provides a simple vacuum level switch to be used inside the feedhead's vacuum plenum to detect when the vacuum level exceeds a predefined threshold. This switch is composed of an opening in the plenum that is covered by a cap which is in turn spring-loaded against the opening. The mechanical properties of the spring are such that the cap is pushed away from the opening by ambient air pressure at the point when the vacuum threshold has been reached during sheet acquisition. A Hall Effect or optical sensor is used to detect this motion and the corresponding signal is sent to the feeder controller. This enables more intelligent control of the feeder while also providing an inexpensive method for tracking sheet acquisition times.

    Abstract: An improved serial communications circuit, which includes support for Infra Red communications over a number of incompatible IR protocols is provided. To improve serial throughput, and reduce the overhead required of a Central Processing Unit, separate Transmit and Receive FIFO's are provided to buffer incoming and outgoing serial data. These FIFO's are controlled by a state machine which can adjust interrupt requests to the CPU based on the contents of the FIFO's and the time elapsed between interrupt service requests. In addition an improved multi-mode Infra Red modulation and demodulation system is provided which may support, alongside standard hard wired serial communications, wireless IR communications with personal information managers, laptop and palmtop computers, and other personal and professional electronic equipment which may employ an IR remote control.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a call from a credit card telephone paystation reads magnetic encoded data on a credit card and produces a credit card identification signal. The credit card identification signal is identified as valid prior to enabling the telephone call. Call information data is stored at the telephone paystation including the credit card identification signal, the called number, the time and date of the call and the call duration. The stored call data is transmitted at periodic intervals to a central billing computer upon request by the central billing computer.

    Abstract: A coin receiving prepay telephone station for local calls includes a telephone receiver and transmitter with a handset and a supporting hook switch cradle therefor. The station further includes a coin chute having an open end for receiving a coin and a lower end for discharging coins into a coin box. A solenoid controlled arm is movable transversely into and out of the coin chute adjacent a level near the open end for normally retaining a coin deposited in the chute in a partially exposed retrievable position permitting manual extraction from the chute if a call dialed from the station is not answered. Circuitry is provided for activating the solenoid controlled arm to move out of the coin chute permitting the coin previously retained therein to drop into the coin box when a called party answers a call of over three digits dialed at the station.
