摘要： The present invention relates to tunable capacitors, devices including tunable capacitors, and methods of making and using tunable capacitors and devices. One or more secondary tunable capacitors can be connected to a primary capacitor by printing a connector conducting layer or feature to obtain a desired net capacitance. Digitally printing the connector conducting layer allows the number of secondary capacitors connected into the circuit to be determined during the integrated circuit fabrication process, without the need for individual masks connecting the appropriate number of secondary capacitors. This provides an in-process or post-process trimming method to obtain the desired precision and accuracy for capacitors. Various sizes and combinations of secondary capacitors can be connected to obtain high precision capacitors and/or improved matching of capacitance values.

摘要： A surveillance system for an ATM utilizing multiple cameras aimed at the user, the card slot, and surrounding areas is disclosed. The cameras are powered and begin to record images after a sensor is activated. The system maintains a buffer of recorded imagery such that when the sensors are activated, the video processing equipment can store a pre-defined amount of time before the sensor is activated. The buffer allows for the video capture of events just prior to the activation of the sensor. A time stamp and any other relevant data from the cameras may also be included with the stored recorded video.

摘要： A circuit and method of qualified anomaly detection provides detection and triggering on specific analog anomalies and/or digital data within a qualified area of a serial data stream. A start pattern within the serial data stream, such as a packet header, is detected to generate an enable signal. A stop event, such as a packet trailer, a specified digital event, a time interval or the like, is identified to generate a disable signal. The enable and disable signals are combined to produce a qualification signal that allows a trigger circuit to trigger on a specified anomaly within the portion of the serial data stream defined by the qualification signal.

摘要： A system and method is provided for the real time auditing of covert data marks. Specific information relating to a product or document is entered into an information cell or shell from a product data file. A high definition, high resolution, high speed inline video system is provided to take specific details from the individual product or document, which details are added to the data cell or shell. Details are then inspected, quality checked, matched in the event there are multiple identifiers (e.g., currency would normally carry two matching sequential numbers), and verified to the product order. This cell or shell is passed to the special design computer/controller through a high speed electronic interface. Information entering the computer/controller is once again verified and matched to the original data as well as the product or document. The cell or shell is converted into a specially created 2-dimensional bar code which is encrypted by the computer/controller and then transformed into a video rip. This video rip is sent to high quality/high resolution production print engines. The encrypted 2-dimensional bar code is imaged directly to the product or document as it is carried past the print imaging engines. The ink also is specially designed and manufactured for this system and process. It is an invisible ink which is unique, durable, permanent and not available commercially (covered under trade secrets). These special inks are well suited for delivery using inkjet technology to efficiently make well formed invisible images at slow to high speed production schemes. The product or document is then sent instantly into a drying scheme (this can be air, forced air, heat, UV Dryer, depending on the printing system selected). After drying there is a final scanning. This scanning equipment is the same scanner design which will be used in the field so that each product or document will be verified with the actual scanning device and programs which will be used in the field. From this final scanning of the 2-dimensional data bar code, a final audited product or document profile is created, as is a database which will be the point of reference in the infrastructure during the life of the product or document. Each time any product or document is scanned at a transaction point, the database will be updated, either in real-time or downloaded from a data collection scanning device. This will build a complete history from the point of manufacture to the moment it is removed from service.
