US Patent:

6536307, Mar 25, 2003

Filed:

Feb 16, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/784010

Inventors:

Armando Neri - Bologna, IT
Paul Gray - Garland TX

Assignee:

Currency Systems International - Irving TX

International Classification:

B25B 3300

US Classification:

81 159, 81484, 29804

Abstract:

Boxes containing banknotes are secured by a mechanism utilizing a latch plate that can be removed and replaced automatically by a device of which the parts include a top slide equipped with a pivoting arm and a pusher designed to hold the latch plate steady and in tension from two points of contact; the device is also equipped with a bottom slide carrying a gripper of which the two jaws operate in concert one with another and with the pusher and the arm to release the latch plate from the position in which it secures the box.

Appl. No.:

09/779581

Armando Neri - Bologna, IT

Currency Systems International - Irving TX

International Classification:

B65B 728

US Classification:

156556, 156563, 29 84, 81 159, 81484, 531381, 53290

Abstract:

Banknotes are placed for transportation purposes in cassettes comprising a container and a hinged lid, made secure by applying a seal composed of two parts that can be coupled non-releasably and are provided with latch elements appearing as curved teeth positioned to locate in the holes of lugs associated with the container and with the lid. The seals, loaded into a magazine with the two parts spread, are fed and applied to the cassettes by a unit comprising a clamp assembly with retaining pins designed to pick up the seals from an outlet of the magazine and transfer them to a gripper head presenting a pair of arms by which the two parts are taken up and restrained; the arms are mounted to respective pivots on the gripper head so that when the head is made to assume a final operating position adjacent to the lugs on the cassette, the arms can be rotated toward one another, causing the two parts of the seal to couple together with the curved teeth engaging the holes of the lugs, securing the cassette.

09/853900

Inventors:

Armando Neri - Bologna, IT
Paul Gray - Garland TX

Assignee:

Currency Systems International - Irving TX

International Classification:

B65H 3110

US Classification:

271217, 271207, 271315, 271195

Abstract:

Bank notes arriving from a control machine are fed along a feed pipe which has a plurality of outfeeds, each connected to an infeed zone of a forming channel along which an accompanying element moves, equipped with a surface on which the bank notes are rested, on top of one another, by a rotary drum located between each outfeed and the respective infeed zone, forming an ordered stack. Close to the infeed zone each forming channel has a shielding wall which is mobile between a non-operating position in which the infeed zone is open, and a position in which the latter is partially closed, limiting the inflows of air which facilitate bank note feed along the pipe and the inflows of air generated by rotation of the drum. A vibrating plate on a side wall of the channel and close to the infeed zone of the channel facilitates correct bank note stacking.

Assignee:

Trellisware Technologies, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H03M 13/00
H03M 13/03

US Classification:

714755, 714790

Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses, and systems are presented for performing data encoding involving encoding data bits according to an outer convolutional code to produce outer encoded bits, processing the outer encoded bits using an interleaver and a single parity check (SPC) module to produce intermediate bits, encoding the intermediate bits according to an inner convolutional code to produce inner encoded bits, processing the inner encoded bits using a puncture module to produce punctured bits, and combining the data bits and the punctured bits to produce encoded outputs. Methods, apparatuses, and systems are also presented for performing data decoding based on soft channel metrics derived from a channel using various iterative techniques.

US Classification:

714755

Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses, and systems for performing data encoding involving encoding data bits according to an outer convolutional code to produce outer encoded bits processing the outer encoded bits using an interleaver and a logical unit to produce intermediate bits, wherein the logical unit receives a first number of input bits and produces a second number of corresponding output bits, the second number being less than the first number, and wherein the logical unit takes each of the first number of input bits into account in producing the second number of output bits, encoding the intermediate bits according to an inner convolutional code to produce inner encoded bits, wherein the inner convolutional code is characterized by at least two states, and combining the data bits and the inner encoded bits to produce encoded outputs.

International Classification:

H01L 25/00
H01L 27/00

US Classification:

250332, 2502081

Abstract:

Automatic image-based volumetric detection of an object in a space is achieved based on a combinational characteristic produced by combining a first characteristic of a reference image associated with the space when empty, and second characteristic of a detection image associated with the space at a time when object detection is active. The combinational characteristic is independent of relative image intensity between the reference image and the detection image. The object detection operation is thus provided with a degree of independence relative to the respective illumination conditions during capture of the reference and detection images.
