    摘要: An automated transaction machine includes apparatus for distinguishing between single sheets and multiple sheets in a sheet path. The apparatus includes radiation emitters (14, 34) and radiation detectors (20, 40, 42). The radiation emitters are operated to emit radiation at periodic intervals. Signal conditioners (50) receive signals from the radiation detectors and generate outputs responsive to the intensities sensed by the detectors substantially only during the periodic intervals. The outputs are combined, weighed and/or compared to thresholds to distinguish single and multiple sheets. The apparatus enables reliable operation in noisy electrical environments and with a wide variety of sheet properties.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for providing an indication of a type of note passing through the apparatus includes a note transport (12) which moves the note past transversely spaced spot sensing assemblies (18). Each spot sensing assembly includes four emitters (32). Each of the emitters produces radiation at a different wavelength. The spot sensing assemblies include a reflectance detector (20) and a transmission detector (22) which are disposed on opposed sides of the passing note. The emitters direct radiation onto test spots (34) on the passing note. The emitters in each assembly are activated individually and repeatedly in a sequence. Radiation reflected from each type of emitter to the reflectance detector at each test spot causes a control circuit (24) to generate reflectance values. Radiation transmitted from each emitter through each test spot to the transmission detector causes the control circuit to generate transmission values. The control circuit produces a sensed value set including the reflectance and transmission values from each of the emitters in each of the spot sensing assemblies. The control circuit also determines an angle of skew of the passing note. The control circuit is in connection with a data store which includes memories (138). Each of the memories includes data representative of templates of values corresponding to transmission and reflectance values for known note types in a number of note positions. The control circuit generates stored value sets from the templates and skew angle. The control circuit further calculates a value representative of a level of correlation between the sensed value set and each of the stored value sets. The control circuit determines the highest level of correlation between all the stored value sets which is indicative of the note type.

    摘要: A sensing device comprised of a sensing circuit which changes its operating characteristics when an object comes near it. The sensing circuit produces a change in output voltage proportional to the change in relative distance between the sensing circuit and an object. The actual output voltage is a function of both target distance and control circuit input voltage. The control circuit includes a comparator for comparing the steady state output voltage to a reference voltage and adjustment system for adjusting the input voltage to change the steady state output voltage such that the steady state output voltage approximately equals the reference voltage. The control circuit reacts only to reductions in the steady state output voltage, indicative of mechanical wear, and not to increases in output voltage, indicative of currency thickness measurement.

    摘要: An apparatus for sensing a target characteristic, such as relative distance between the apparatus and target, target thickness, target material, or lateral position between the apparatus and the target, includes a coil for directing an electro-magnetic field at the target. A voltage controlled oscillator energizes the coil at a resonant frequency which is functionally related to the target characteristic. The coil has an effective impedance value at resonance functionally related to the target characteristic. A frequency monitor measures the resonant frequency. An impedance monitor determines the impedance value when the drive frequency is at the resonant value. A PROM or controller determines the target characteristic in response to the measured resonant frequency and the determined impedance value. The PROM or controller provides a signal responsive to the determined target characteristic.

    摘要: A target has leading and trailing edges which are boundaries between a retroreflector and a non-retroreflector. The target is used in target determining apparatus for distance, width, azimuth, gauging, profiling, object detection, and particular target identification. A laser light source scans along a scanning path across the target. The retroreflector reflects light back toward the scanning means where it is received in a photoreceptor to determine the angles of the target edges. The distance to the target and the width are inversely proportional to the length of time that the light beam scans across the target. The laser light also scans across a reference point and the length of time between this reference point and the reflection from the target is directly proportional to the azimuthal position of the target relative to the reference. Further, the target may include a plurality of reflective and non-reflective strips transverse to the scanning path to establish binary indicia on the target. This results in a series of pulses from the photoreceptor as the beam scans the width of the target. This information is then decoded to determine the binary indicia and hence identify that particular target. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
