G07C 300

US Classification:

194200, 194206, 209534, 221242, 271158, 271181

Abstract:

An apparatus for transferring a plurality of documents from a first compartment to a second compartment. The apparatus comprises a plunger assembly having a paddle adapted to contact the documents, and at least one outwardly extending arm hingedly connected to the plunger assembly. A gate is disposed between the first compartment and the second compartment forming a document supporting surface. The gate has an open position and a closed position. At least one lever extends from the gate, the lever being in a first position when the gate is in the closed position and the lever being in a second position when the gate is in the open position. The gate moves from the closed position to the open position when the paddle urges the documents against the gate from the first compartment towards the second compartment. The arm moves the lever from the second position to the first position to move the gate from the open position to the closed position when the paddle retracts from the second compartment to the first compartment.

International Classification:

G07F007/04

US Classification:

194206, 194207, 209534, 382135

Abstract:

A currency evaluation device for receiving a stack of currency bills and rapidly evaluating all the bills in the stack. The device comprises an input receptacle for receiving a stack of bills to be evaluated and a plurality of output receptacles for receiving the bills after they have been evaluated. A transport mechanism transports the bills, one at a time, from the input receptacle to one of the output receptacles along a transport path. A discriminating unit including a detector positioned along the transport path between the input receptacle and the output receptacle evaluates the bills. The discriminating unit counts and determines the denomination of the bills. A means for flagging bills meeting or failing to meet a certain criteria causes the transport mechanism to halt in response to a determination that a bill meets or fails to meet the criteria.

US Classification:

382135, 209534

Abstract:

In one aspect, a method of processing currency in a currency processing machine includes the act of retrieving, from a plurality of input currency bills, characteristic information from each of the bills, the characteristic information itself including at least a first characteristic information relating to fitness. The method also includes the act of assigning to each currency bill one of a plurality of fitness types and fitness levels relating to the first characteristic information of the bill, at least one of the fitness types and the fitness levels being defined by a user. The method also includes the act of outputting each currency bill along one of a plurality of output paths designated by the user to receive currency bills, the output path having a fitness type and/or fitness level assigned to the currency bill.

Appl. No.:

13/591532

Inventors:

Matthew P. Anderson - Burnsville MN, US
Scott Braun - Lakeville MN, US
Jason R. Danner - Savage MN, US

Assignee:

Rosemount Aerospace Inc. - Burnsville MN

International Classification:

G01F 1/46
B23P 11/00

US Classification:

73180, 73182, 29428

Abstract:

An air data probe includes a probe head. The probe head defines a longitudinal axis with a forward tip and aft base and includes a wall tap port inlet defined in the probe head aft between the forward tip and the aft base. The wall tap port inlet opens on an angle relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein the wall tap port inlet has an elongated inlet perimeter configured to resist the formation of a meniscus, or otherwise reduce moisture induced pressure errors.

Assignee:

Shure Incorporated - Evanston IL

International Classification:

H04R 2500

US Classification:

381 92

Abstract:

A multiple-microphone actuation control system using direction-sensitive microphones turns ON microphones only if a talker's speech originates from within a specified "acceptance angle" in front of the microphones. Additionally, the invention automatically identifies which microphone best "hears" the talker, and only turns ON one microphone per talker, while allowing several microphones to turn ON simultaneously for several talkers.

International Classification:

F24F 11/39
F24F 11/84

Abstract:

Embodiments herein relate to monitoring systems that can learn patterns of filtration system operation and then use the learned patterns to monitor ongoing filtration system operation/performance. In a first aspect, a monitoring system for an air filtration system is included having a control circuit, and a pressure sensor, wherein the pressure sensor is in electronic communication with the control circuit. The monitoring system can be configured to store data reflecting signals of the pressure sensor, evaluate the stored data representing a first time period to derive a valve operating pattern, and compare data from the pressure sensor obtained after the first time period against the derived valve operating pattern to identify an abnormal valve event.
