摘要： A piece of scrip is engraved or printed with groups of patterns which can be sensed by a validator for scrip and one of those groups of patterns will define a code which will permit that piece of scrip to be accepted only by a scrip validator or by scrip validators which have that same code stored therein. Two additional groups of patterns define codes which can cause that scrip validator or those scrip validators to automatically respond to the codes stored therein to actuate price-determining relays within a vending machine. Each pattern is formed by a number of spaced parallel lines, and the various patterns on a piece of scrip can be given different identities merely by changing the spacing between the trailing edges of those spaced parallel lines. The patterns in each group of patterns will be sensed in a prescribed sequence, and the sequentially-sensed patterns in any of those groups of patterns can be given various identities. As a result, the scrip validator of the present invention can accept a piece of scrip which has a given number of patterns of specifically-different identities and yet reject a piece of scrip which has those same patterns arranged in a different sequence. In this way, the present invention makes it possible to use permutations, rather than mere combinations, of potentially-usable pattern identities, and thus makes it possible to use just fifteen specifically-different pattern identities to make thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty different pieces of scrip. The scrip validator of the present invention stores the codes, which correspond to the codes defined by the patterns on the piece of scrip, in serially-shifted shift registers; and, as each pattern on the piece of scrip is sensed by the scrip validator, the data within the shift registers is serially shifted a plurality of times. The identity of any given pattern can be determined by three signals; and, by utilizing serially-shifted shift registers which have seven or more stages, the present invention enables each shift register to store the pattern-identifying data for at least two patterns. In addition, the serial shifting of the shift registers permits the pattern-identifying data for the various patterns to be presented in fixed sequences. Moreover, by merely changing some of the connections to the input terminals of the shift registers, it is possible to change the codes stored within those shift registers. The frequency which identifies each pattern is sensed by the combination of a digital filter and a counter; and such a combination provides a strict test of the identification of each pattern because it requires the frequency which corresponds to the spacing of the trailing edges of the lines of that pattern to match the frequency of the digital filter, and it also requires that pattern to have a minimum number of lines which have that same spacing.

摘要： A data acquisition unit accepts serial bit streams from a control device for a vending machine, and it records the data represented by those serial bit streams. The data in one of those serial bit streams will include the number of vends of each product corresponding to the various selection switches of the vending machine, and the data in the other of those serial bit streams will include the price data. The data acquisition unit will store the price data in a non-resettable location and also in a resettable location. A readout can be actuated to effect the displaying of the selection line number and of the corresponding settable and non-resettable price data.

摘要： A bill-handling device provides relative movement between a sensor and a U.S. bill or other object to permit that sensor to sense longitudinally-spaced areas on that U.S. bill or other object which correspond to areas, on authentic U.S. bills or counterfeits thereof, where significant data is found. Data which is obtained during the sensing of those areas is stored, and subsequently is analyzed to determine the authenticity and denomination of the U.S. bill--if it is one of a plurality of bills of specifically-different denominations.

摘要： The invention is directed to a method of using a line voltage to heat an antenna reflector. The method includes the steps of providing an electrical heater for the antenna reflector, measuring a magnitude of the line voltage, ascertaining an ambient temperature, establishing a duty cycle for the heater dependent upon each of the measuring step and the ascertaining step, and cyclically connecting the line voltage to the heater and disconnecting the line voltage from the heater in accordance with the duty cycle. The duty cycle is defined as a percentage of total heating time in which the line voltage is electrically connected to the heater. The total heating time is a total time in which the ambient temperature is below a threshold temperature.

摘要： A reflector assembly in a satellite system includes a reflector having a reflecting surface. At least one sensor is configured for sensing a temperature of the reflecting surface or moisture associated with the reflecting surface. Each sensor is configured to provide a signal indicative of the sensing. A heater is configured for heating the reflecting surface. The heater includes a heater wire, a layer of insulation substantially surrounding the heater wire, and a conductive shield substantially surrounding the layer of insulation. A ground fault circuit interrupter is coupled with the shield of the heater. The ground fault circuit interrupter is configured for detecting a ground fault condition between the heater wire and the conductive shield and providing a signal indicative thereof. An automatic controller is connected to the at least one sensor. The controller includes heater control circuitry receiving each of the sensor signal and the ground fault circuit interrupter signal. The heater control circuitry selectively controls operation of the heater dependent upon the sensor signal and the ground fault circuit interrupter signal.
