An assembly and device that provides a flexible, removable and sealable touch guard system for use with retail display systems and more specifically for use with displays requiring repeated human interactive use is provided for. More particularly, the present invention relates to an assembly and device that provides a sealable touch guard between a bezel, a protective covering and a display while under compression. Additionally the present invention is readily used with customer-specific bezel covers and displays often used with point of sale (POS)-like terminals.

An automated banking machine operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. The automated banking machine includes a card reader operative to read card data from user cards corresponding to financial accounts. The automated banking machine also includes a display and a printer to produce records of financial transactions carried out with the machine. The machine is operative to cause a computer determination to be made that the card data corresponds to an authorized machine user. The automated banking machine may also include a storage device that is operative to unlock a secured area including information thereon that is used by the automated banking machine to carry out financial transfers.
摘要:
A system and methods for maintaining or optimising a mobile phone network by spatially correlating geolocated radio access network (RAN) performance measurement data and geolocated subscriber account data, which in embodiments provides additional technical information on the RAN performance. These data are integrated in a spatial data structure and provided with a spatial querying and data correlation system for identifying, and addressing problem areas of the RAN.

Embodiments of the present invention provide indexing, organizing, storing and/or retrieving of environmental information regarding a proposed environment-modifying project, including information about an environment-modifying natural event or construction project (“project”); a natural, constructed or socioeconomic feature in the area of the project (“setting”); a change to the setting brought about by the project (“impact”); or a feature designed to ameliorate a potential environmental impact of the project (“mitigation”). The environmental information is indexed with metadata that may be hierarchically organized and made available to a reviewer in a controlled vocabulary or a user-defined vocabulary.

Merged devices for transient blocking. A pass transistor is placed so that its body potential drives the gate of a depletion-mode JFET-type blocking transistor. Thus a transient which appears on an external terminal is very rapidly propagated to shut off the blocking transistor, before large numbers of carriers can be injected. Preferably a shunt device is also used to drop high potentials which may appear at the same time. This connection can be particularly useful in power or data input terminals.

An apparatus and a method for uni-directional and bi-directional transient blocking. The uni-directional apparatus has a depletion mode n-channel device at its input and a normally closed relay, e.g., a micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) relay, interconnected with the depletion mode n-channel device and the input in such a way that at a predetermined current value the transient causes the normally closed relay to switch into an open state and apply a bias voltage Vn on the depletion mode n-channel device that is sufficiently high to switch it “off” thus block the transient. An analogous arrangement at the output taking advantage of the same or a second relay renders the apparatus bi-directional. The structure of the apparatus and the method of operation ensure a reliable and repeatable trip current Itrip and render the apparatus very robust and feasible for low-cost manufacture.

A transient blocking unit (TBU) having reduced series impedance is provided. A TBU includes two or more depletion mode transistors arranged to provide a low series impedance in normal operation and a high series impedance when the input current exceeds a predetermined threshold. A nonlinear impedance element is included in the TBU that acts as a current limiter having a substantially constant saturation current over a range of applied voltages. This saturation current is selected to be the threshold current of the TBU. When the threshold is exceeded, the voltage developed across the nonlinear impedance element tends to drive the TBU into its high impedance state. When the operating current is below threshold, the TBU series resistance is relatively low because the nonlinear impedance element is in its low-resistance state. The nonlinear impedance element can be a separate circuit element, or it can be integrated with one or more of the TBU transistors.
摘要:
A set (50) of laser pulses (52) is employed to sever a conductive link (22) in a memory or other IC chip. The duration of the set (50) is preferably shorter than 1,000 ns; and the pulse width of each laser pulse (52) within the set (50) is preferably within a range of about 0.1 ps to 30 ns. The set (50) can be treated as a single “pulse” by conventional laser positioning systems (62) to perform on-the-fly link removal without stopping whenever the laser system (60) fires a set (50) of laser pulses (52) at each link (22). Conventional IR wavelengths or their harmonics can be employed.
