摘要:
An automated banking machine is operative to dispense cash to authorized users. The user interface of the machine includes features for detection of fraudulent activities at the machine. Sensors are provided for detecting the installation of unauthorized card reading devices adjacent the card reader. Vibration sensors are used to detect the installation of unauthorized card reading or bill trap devices. A machine controller or other processor is programmed to detect events or circumstances which may indicate that improper activity is occurring. Cameras are used to capture images of the user interface. Changes in the images are analyzed by a computer to detect the installation of unauthorized devices.
摘要:
Optical waveguide devices characterized by low loss for a fundamental mode and high loss for higher order modes are disclosed. The high loss is sufficiently high that the waveguide is effectively single-moded.
摘要:
The invention concerns a process for preparing a secondary emulsion consisting of droplets of a phase A, dispersed in a phase B, A being immiscible in B, starting with a polydispersed primary emulsion of identical formulation and consisting of droplets of the said phase A dispersed in the said phase B, the droplets of the secondary emulsion having a diameter in all cases which is less than the diameter of the droplets of the primary emulsion, characterized in that the starting primary emulsion is viscoelastic and in that the said starting primary emulsion is subjected to a controlled shear such that the same maximum shear is applied to the entire emulsion.
摘要:
An industrial scale fire fighting nozzle and method, the nozzle having a selectively adjustable discharge gap and providing for gap coordinated, independently selectable additive proportioning ratio selection, the method including discharging fire fighting fluid at a selectively adjustable flow rate with an independently selectable, gap coordinated adjustable additive proportioning ratio, and use of reinforced high temperature polymer for at least a barrel element or a bafflehead element component.
摘要:
An automatic titration apparatus for optically determining incompatibility of petroleum oils. The apparatus includes reservoirs for oil and solvent, a sealed temperature-controlled mixing vessel, including a liquid mixer, pumps and transfer lines for dispensing oil and solvent from said reservoirs to said mixing vessel wherein oil and solvent are mixed to form a mixture, an aggregate detector, transfer lines for transferring said mixture to the aggregate detector, and a computer programmed to operate and monitor all elements of said apparatus.
摘要:
A system indicates fault conditions in an automated banking machine apparatus. A journal printer (12, 106) is supplied with paper from a paper supply (16, 112). A paper take-up device (18, 114) receives paper from the printer. Movement of the take-up device is sensed by a detector (70, 146, 124). The detector is connected to an electronic circuit (74, 118) including a processor (76, 120). Fault signals are generated by the electronic circuit responsive to the detector sensing conditions representative of a paper jam and a paper break.
摘要:
A bleacher chair for use with a bleacher structure having tiers of bleacher seating of a standard width, said bleacher chair comprising a chair portion, two lateral arm members, a forward member, and a rearward member and wherein the chair portion can rest upon a bleacher seat, and the rearward member does not contact the bleacher structure in a way which would interfere with the placement of the chair portion upon a bleacher seat. A method for vending the bleacher chair of the present invention to those attending events with bleacher seating is also provided.
摘要:
A method and system for the storage and dispensing of medical grade liquid oxygen are provided. Medical grade liquid oxygen is stored in a storage tank located within a medical facility which is capable of dispensing liquid oxygen to portable liquid oxygen reservoirs and to portable liquid oxygen tanks, as well as delivering oxygen gas through a gas pipeline network. The storage tank is filled through a fill station exterior to the facility. A fixed price billing method is provided for the cost of the liquid oxygen delivered for use in the system. Economical storage, delivery and billing services are thereby provided to medium sized facilities such as nursing homes or extended care facilities which utilize both liquid and gaseous oxygen but cannot afford to install the very large exterior liquid oxygen tanks used by major hospitals and research facilities. Increased safety in the storage and dispensing of the liquid oxygen is provided in accordance with the present invention.
