Patent number: 6285150Abstract: In order to control the operating voltage of a fan in electrical equipment, the temperature of an output diode (D) of an output circuit of the power supply of the electrical equipment is monitored. The operating voltage of the fan is controlled as a function of the component temperature of this physical element such that up to a limit temperature, which is in the region of the maximum permissible component temperature of a physical element which absolutely becomes the hottest, the operating voltage of the fan is regulated at a constant, minimum level. The operating voltage is then regulated to rise continuously and rapidly up to a maximum operating voltage at which, although the component temperature of the physical element which absolutely becomes the hottest is still above the limit temperature, it is below the maximum permissible component temperature of this physical element, however.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1996Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jürgen Adam, Peter Busch

Patent number: 6272475Abstract: Apparatus and method for the secured dispensing of bank papers. A signed enable message contains an overall value of the bank papers to be dispensed. A verifier checks the signature and the overall value is compared with the sum of the values of the bank papers to be dispensed. From the comparison and the incorporation of the testing of the signature, a blocking signal for the dispensing from a dispense opening is produced, as long as the signature is invalid or the overall value is smaller than the sum.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1998Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Nolte, Richard Weigold

Patent number: 6234475Abstract: Transporting apparatus for individual sheets, having two transporting paths which are aligned at an angle to one another. A diverter arrangement with a first diverter body, which can be adjusted in a translatory manner, and a second diverter body, which can be pivoted about its longitudinal axis synchronously with said first diverter body, serves for optionally guiding a single sheet along the first transporting path, deflecting the sheet into the second transporting path or deflecting it back from there into the first transporting path. For this purpose, a first diverter surface and a third diverter surface, which is aligned at an acute angle to the first diverter surface, are formed on the first diverter body. The second diverter body bears a second diverter surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1999Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Assignee: Siemens Nixdorf Informationssyteme AktiengesellschaftInventors: Peter Weigel, Klaus Tauchert
