Abstract: Automatically processing secure containers housing valuable documents includes receiving a secure container in a secure container processing unit, opening the secure container using an extraction module operatively coupled to the secure container processing unit, removing the valuable documents from the secure container using the extraction module, transferring the valuable documents to an external processing apparatus, and closing the secure container using the extraction module.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to improved correlators for spread spectrum receivers, particularly for third generation mobile communications systems. A Golay correlator with a plurality of delay structures is described. At least one of these delay structures includes a plurality of memory elements sharing a common input bus; and a circular shift register having a plurality of bit positions, one for each of the memory elements, each bit position storing a single bit and having an associated bit position output, each bit position output being coupled to corresponding memory elements for enabling writing of data into the memory element when the bit position output is active; and wherein, in use, only one of the bit positions in the circular shift register is active, the active bit position moving circularly through the shift register to select the memory element into which data on the common bus is written.

Abstract: A signal processor for a multi-mode mobile communication device, comprising a multi-mode receiver adapted to receive information relating to a plurality of service modes; reconfigurable logic means, a configuration controller for configuring the reconfigurable logic means so as to support one or more of the service modes and a switching means for instructing the controller to alter the supported service mode in response to the received information.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to improved correlators for spread spectrum receivers, particularly for third generation (3G) mobile communications systems.

Abstract: A bracket assembly for mounting a shelf having a grooved surface to a supporting structure. The bracket assembly includes a frame having a support portion which defines a slot for receiving an edge of the shelf. The frame includes at least one attachment leg for securing the frame to the supporting structure. A base plate mountable to the support portion of the frame is provided and includes a hook which seats within the groove when the shelf is inserted in the slot. An arm moveable between a first position and a second position is connected to the hook for releasing the hook from the groove when the arm is urged to the second position.
