    摘要: An angular position sensor having at least one resistive track which is circular, for example, and at least one cursor. The cursor is adapted to move while in electric contact with the track. The track is closed and continuous and has at least two electric access points. The sensor cooperates with an arrangement for applying separate predetermined electric potentials to the access points and with an arrangement for measuring the resulting electric potential at one of the access points. The cursor is therefore able to rotate through a complete turn without leaving the one resistive track. All angles can be measured and rotation through several turns is possible.

    摘要: A mail franking machine which prints stamps and totals stamp values comprises a motor and drums carrying digits in relief for printing a stamp. A microprocessor controls the motor and totals the values of stamps printed. Position encoders connected to respective drums translate into binary words the values of the digits printed on the stamp and the states of manually operable switches. Interfaces essentially formed by an application specific integrated circuit include circuits for receiving and executing an instruction to start or stop the motor or a single instruction to scan and transmit the values translated by all the encoders and the states of all the switches.

    摘要: A franking machine includes a non-volatile record memory and circuits for writing information into this memory only if at least one characteristic of a franking operation is different from that for the immediately preceding operation. For example, for a series of franking operations having the same value, the record memory contains only a block of information indicating the franking value common to each operation and the number of operations per formed. The required record memory capacity is therefore significantly smaller than if it were to store an information block respective to each franking operation.

    摘要: The machine comprises a 16-key keyboard (1), an alpha-numeric display (2), a calendar clock (3), a microprocessor (4), a program memory (5), a text memory (6), and a working memory (7), interconnected by a bus (B). A first set of messages enables normal franking operations to be performed, and a second set of messages which are accessible by means of a menu key (M) on the keyboard enable special operations to be performed. The messages are stored in the text memory, with each message being constituted by screens each of which has the same capacity as the display. Each screen is transferred from the text memory to the working memory prior to being displayed. Each message is controlled by the microprocessor which runs a program relating to each message. All of the programs are stored in the program memory.

    摘要: A current limiting circuit, for a serial commutator motor, that monitors the flow of current through resistances chosen to model the motor, rather than the noisy flow of current through the motor itself. Current for one of the modeling resistances is derived from a tachometer on the motor and is thus proportional to motor speed.

    摘要: The apparatus detects the fact that a predetermined temperature threshold, in particular a low temperature threshold, has been crossed, and prevents any subsequent use of the appliance. The apparatus includes a reversible thermostatic switch capable of changing from a first stable state to a second stable state, and of delivering an alarm signal when it finds itself in the second state; and control means co-operating with the switch to respond to the alarm signal by delivering a disable signal for disabling the electronic appliance. According to the invention, the apparatus further includes a DC voltage source (15), an electrical or electronic component (17) capable of taking two states corresponding to said first and second stable states connected in a loop with the voltage source and the switch so that a current passing through the thermostatic switch causes a change from the first state to the second state.

    摘要: The limited write non-volatile memory is characterized in that it is constituted by a limited memory space (1)in an EEPROM which is organized as a first zone (5) for recording the more significant bits of successive data sets at fixed addresses, and a second zone (6) for recording at least the remaining less significant bits of said data sets at addresses which change around a closed loop of addresses, said less significant bits being recorded with at least one redundancy bit which is common both to the more significant bits recorded in the first zone and the less significant bits recorded in the second, said memory being under the control of a programmed circuit for processing and addressing control. Said memory space constitutes the meter memory (CA, CD, CT) of a franking machine.
