Systems (100) and methods (800) for operating a security tag. The methods involve: coupling the security tag to an article by at least partially inserting an attachment assembly into a tag body; performing core security tag functions by a first electronic circuit disposed within the tag body of the security tag to protect the article from an unauthorized removal of the article from an area; and performing at least one first peripheral security tag function by a second electronic circuit disposed within the attachment assembly of the security tag.

A security tag includes a tag body and a cooperating tack assembly having a tack head and an elongated pin extending from the tack head, with the pin being insertable into the tag body to secure an article therebetween. One or more electronic components and associated electrical circuits, including wireless communications modules and various types of sensors, are disposed in both the tack head and tag body. The tack head includes a battery and an energy harvesting circuit. The tack head pin has one or more discrete conductive segments which, when the pin is inserted into the tag body, electrically couple with electrical circuits disposed in the tag body, thus allowing the components in the tag body to be powered at least in part by the battery and/or the energy harvesting circuit disposed in the tack head. Methods for operating the tag to perform security functions are also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a fin (4) of width l and comprising corrugations (20) for a heat exchanger comprising at least one step of splitting a metal sheet (2) into at least two strips (4) of width l and a step of folding the strips (4) of width l in order to obtain the corrugations (20). The steps of splitting and of folding the metal sheet (2) take place simultaneously. A further subject of the invention is a device for applying such a method and a fin and a heat exchanger obtained by such a method, particularly for use in the motor-vehicle field.

An automated banking machine (10) includes a deposit accepting apparatus (44) which is capable of accepting and authenticating instruments, as well as accepting envelopes deposited into the machine by a user. A transport section (46) is operative to engage and transport deposited items selectively from an inlet (48) to an outlet (50). A deposit holding module (90) includes compartments (98, 106) which are operative to hold different types of deposits. The machine operates to selectively move a compartment into communication with the outlet based on the particular type of item being deposited. The depository apparatus is further operative to acquire image and magnetic profile data from deposited instruments, to manipulate the image and profile data and to analyze and resolve characters in selected areas thereof. The data from deposited instruments is used for determining if a user is authorized to conduct certain requested transactions at the machine.

The present invention relates to the field of automotive heat exchangers, and, in particular, to heat exchanger tanks with headers. This invention eliminates the need for use of an inner flange on the header using a collar that also acts as a rib, thereby providing a compact foot plus header tank arrangement with lower stress on the gasket mating surface of the header and tank. The present invention also provides a method for providing improved headering means for automotive heat exchangers with plastic tanks and headers.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger between a first fluid and a second fluid, comprising: a heat exchange core (3) comprising first circulation channels of the first fluid and second circulation channels of the second fluid, an inlet collector box (5) for the first fluid and an outlet collector box (7) for the first fluid, into which the ends of said first channels open out, and an inlet connection piece (9) for the second fluid and an outlet connection piece (11) for the second fluid. Said inlet (5) and outlet (7) collector boxes for the first fluid are separated by a deflector (13) and said exchanger moreover comprises an intermediate collector box (21) communicating with said first channels to create a U-circulation of the first fluid in said first channels. Said exchanger comprises an intermediate compartment (39) communicating with said second channels for a U-circulation of the second fluid in said second channels.

Data representing key performance indicators of a business enterprise are displayed by computer as a squarified tree map having major nodes each of which represents a profit center of the enterprise and minor nodes each of which represents a project associated with a particular profit center. Size, color and position of each of the minor nodes within a major node and size and position of each the major nodes within the squarified tree map is specified so as to produce a visual display which is highly appealing to the visually perceptive/intuitive processes of the human mind therefore enables rapid managerial response to visually perceived, intuitively sensed deviations from selected performance criteria.
摘要:
An apparatus, system and method discourage theft of a media disc. The media disc has a central aperture and is retained within a media disc case by an inner spindle that extends through the central aperture. A pin is insertable through the inner spindle. A locking clutch is operable to engage the pin. When engaged, the locking clutch secures the media disc upon the inner spindle and prevents the media disc from being removed from the inner spindle. A liquid-dispensing container is positioned between the pin and the media disc such that when a force is exerted upon the media disc to attempt to remove the disc from the inner spindle when the locking clutch is engaged, the liquid-dispensing container releases a liquid which renders the media disc unreadable.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger which is intended, for example, for a motor vehicle and which comprises a tube bundle (2) and spacers which are positioned between the tubes of the bundle in order to promote the exchange of heat. The bundle is defined by two end spacers (70, 71). The inventive exchanger also comprises two collector plates through which the ends of the bundle are intended to pass and at least one flange (50, 51) which is disposed on one or the end spacers. Advantageously, the flange comprises at least one expansion zone (80) in order to compensate for the longitudinal expansions thereof, while the transverse section of the flange in the expansion zone is essentially U shaped.
