    摘要: An implanted sensing device (1) for monitoring an analyte (e.g. blood-glucose) includes a non-toxic macromolecular material (2) encapsulated within an envelope (3) of bio-compatible semi-permeable membrane. A sensor (4) responds to change of a physical property (e.g. viscosity) of the material (2) when the analyte contacts the material (2), to signal the change to a measurement circuit (5) that together with the sensor (4) and a transponder (6) are included within the envelope (3). The transponder (6) is interrogated externally of the implanted sensor (1) by an interrogation unit (7) to transmit measurement data for processing and storage. The interrogation signal is utilized within the device (1) to power the circuit (5) and transponder (6) and conveys data to the device for re-calibration or resetting of signal-datum values to compensate for aging or drift.

    摘要: Apparatus for handling coins and tokens comprises a coin validator (4) arranged to detect whether a received item is one of several different coin denominations or a data-storing token, and thereafter to direct coins and tokens to escrow gates (18,22). A token interrogator (6) has antenna coils (24) disposed adjacent one of the escrow gates in order to read data from a token located adjacent the gate. The escrow gates can selectively direct items either to a return chute (16) or a coin store (26).

    摘要: A system for collecting data from machines is particularly but not exclusively, suited for use as a vending machine audit system, and, in the preferred embodiment, comprises an audit controller which records transaction data relating to the operation of the machine and periodically is caused to transfer the data into a data storage module in the form of a non-volatile memory. The module can be removed and inserted into a down-loading machine at a central location which extracts the data and uses it to provide a transaction record.The audit controller stores in the module a predetermined indication code only after first checking that the transaction data has been correctly stored in the module. The indication code signifies to the down-loading machine that the data was correctly transferred to the module. There is thus no need to lock the module into the controller during data transfer, because removal of the module during data transfer will not result in the production of an incorrect transaction record.Transfer of data to the module takes place only if the module stores an appropriate security code. If the customer forgets his own security code, access to the data is permitted by storing in the module a "skeleton" code known to the manufacturer.

    摘要: A magnetically encoded card (2) has a recording track (6, 8) containing data (10, 14, 16, 18) which can be read and re-written by a card reader (30), and a further recording (12) at a much higher spatial bit denisty than the data (10, 14, 16, 18). The high denisty recording (12) is formed using a special write head capable of operating at greater bit densities than the head of the card reader used to write information to the card. The card (2) is deemed valid only if the presence of the high density recording (12) is detected by a read head (34) of the card reader.

    摘要: A microprocessor-controlled coin handling apparatus, for example for a vending machine, has a plurality of change tubes each of which is provided with a single level sensor for determining whether or not the number of coins in the respective tube is greater than a predetermined number. The microprocessor keeps a count of the coins in the tube. When the power is turned on, the count is set to zero if the sensor indicates that the number of coins is less than the predetermined number, and is set to a predetermined "full" number otherwise. The microprocessor increments and decrements the counts as coins are delivered to and dispensed from the change tubes. Whenever the level of coins rises or falls such that the sensor output changes, the coin count is automatically corrected. Also disclosed is a non-volatile memory for storing parameters determining how the coins are handled. Keys are provided for accessing and altering the contents of the memory. Some contents are accessible in a first mode, whereas other contents are inaccessible in this mode, and require a second or third access mode to be entered. At least one location can be altered in a first manner during one of the access modes, and in a second manner only during a different access mode.

    摘要: A coin testing device for discriminating between an acceptable coin and an unacceptable coin of similar diameter but having a different edge characteristic. The device comprises a coin passageway defining a path along which coins pass through the device. A light source positioned to throw light on the edge of a coin as it passes along the coin passageway and a light sensor is positioned to receive light reflected from the edge of an acceptable coin as it moves along the coin passageway. Means are provided for examining a time-dependent quality of the reflected light received by the sensor such as the duration or the number of pulses and for comparing the value of the quality with the value for an acceptable coin.
