    摘要: Improved input filtering apparatus for loudspeaker systems, and loudspeaker systems including such apparatus. The bass roll-off point of input filtering apparatus for loudspeakers is automatically adjusted to an optimum in accordance with the amplitude and spectral content of the audio signal being received at the time, thereby attenuating components in the signal liable to cause "bottoming" of the loudspeaker. The input filter apparatus comprises a first high-pass filter having a breakpoint frequency at or near the lower threshold of the audio frequency range, a second variable bandwidth, high-pass filter connected to receive the first high-pass filter output, a feedback circuit responsive to the second filter output to provide a feedback signal as a linear function thereof with a gain which is substantially inversely proportional to the square of the frequency, and circuit means including threshold means connected with the second filter and responsive to the said feedback signal to relatively rapidly increase the breakpoint frequency of the second filter in response to values of the feedback signal which exceed a threshold and to relatively showly reduce that breakpoint frequency in response to values of the feedback signal which do not exceed the said threshold. Bass equalization circuit means having a frequency response at the low end of the audio spectrum which is substantiallythe inverse of the frequency response of said loudspeaker means are provided between the output of the second filter and the loudspeaker drive circuit.

    摘要: A coin or banknote validator is calibrated to accept items of value by taking successive measurements of items and using them to update acceptability data which defines at least one acceptability criterion for testing. Each measurement is first checked against a suitability criterion, and is only used for updating the acceptability data if the suitability criterion is met. In this way, the acceptability data can be derived without storing all the individual measurements, while still rejecting those measurements which are statistically unsound. The suitability criteria is such that if a measurement differs from the current acceptability data by more than a predetermined amount, the criterion is not met. To avoid problems resulting from the first measurement being unsound, this first measurement is discarded if it does not lie within a predetermined range of the second measurement.

    摘要: Apparatus for validating items of value is described. The apparatus includes a measurement circuit including an inductor, the complex impedance of which varies in accordance with the interaction between a test item of value and a magnetic field within which the inductor is located. Circuitry is provided for extracting first and second periodic signals from the measurement circuit, and a circuit is provided for timing the interval between corresponding portions of the first and second periodic signals. A processing element then determines the value of a parameter related to at least one of the real and imaginary parts of said complex impedance, as a measure of the validity of said test item, from the outputs of the timing circuit.

    摘要: Coins may be validated and denominated by comparing varying signals from coin sensors and checking whether a predetermined relationship between them is maintained, for example, as the coin moves past die sensors. In some implementations, each varying signal may represent the varying effect on a sensor as the coin moves relate to the sensor.
