摘要： A method and system for processing currency bills and coins in a cash receptacle for automatically determining a batch of currency. An operator provides an amount of cash, including currency bills and coins, and indicates a target amount of cash desired to be made available in a currency batch. The system includes a resident memory for storing a mode of operation, determines a total amount of the cash, and determines a cash removal amount by comparing the total amount of the cash to the target amount. The cash removal amount is displayed to the operator for adding or removing cash to obtain the appropriate currency batch, which corresponds to the target amount.

摘要： A plastic container for a particulate product has a footprint and includes a base and at leas two and preferably four sides upstanding therefrom which generally define a container main interior volume. A top connects to the sides and includes a large opening which is closed by a lid. One side includes a pass-through handle located therein having a generally vertical segment which may define a hollow cavity in communication with the main interior volume. The opening of the top is sufficiently large to extend over a portion of the hollow cavity; or is sufficiently wide to receive about a 5″ diameter cylinder therethrough, and has a ratio of a minimum span to a bottom diagonal of at least about 2:3. A shoulder between the top and sides has an angle of less than about 40°. The handle is configured and sized for easy grasping and holding.

摘要： A four current transistor temperature sensor comprises a p-n junction, preferably the base-emitter junction of a bipolar transistor, which is driven with four different currents in a predetermined sequence. Each of the four currents induces a respective base-emitter voltage, which is measured. The temperature of the transistor is calculated based on the values of the four driving currents and the four measured base-emitter voltages. The four driving currents (I1, I2, I3 and I4) are preferably arranged such that I1=2*I3, I2=2*I4, I1/I2=A and I3/I4=A, where A is a predetermined current ratio. I1 and I2 produce respective base-emitter voltages which are subtracted from each other to produce &Dgr;Vbe1, and I3 and I4 produce respective base-emitter voltages which are subtracted from each other to produce &Dgr;Vbe2. When so arranged, the difference between &Dgr;Vbe1 and &Dgr;Vbe2 is entirely due to the effect of series base and emitter resistances rb and re. Therefore, the &Dgr;Vbe1−&Dgr;Vbe2 value provides a correction factor which enables temperature measurement errors due to rb and re to be eliminated.
