  • Patent number: 5739509
    Abstract: A teller member for telling a paper money incomming from outside or outgoing from inside and a safe member for storing therein and/or supplying therefrom the paper money are connected to each other by a conveyor route which is composed of a money conveyor for conveying the paper money therebetween and a route member for enclosing the money conveyor and provided with a check sheet member conveyable by the money conveyor for checking the conveyor route for a jam, the check sheet member being chargeable with polarity-controlled electricities so that dust such as paper dust in the conveyor route is adorbed by the check sheet member, as it is charged with electricities of a certain polarity and conveyed by the money conveyor, before the check sheet member is unloaded from the money conveyor into an accommodation chamber, where it is charged with electricities of an opposite polarity, thereby releasing the dust to be blown into a dust collector.

  • Patent number: 5679939
    Abstract: An IC card with display and input functions is provided which can notify the user of the card by voice to remind him of scheduled matters which are registered into the card, just by the depression of a predetermined key. The IC card has, on the front face, a keyboard display which serves as a display device and an inputting device, and has a voice outputting piezoelectric element of a very small size embedded in the rear face thereof. When the IC card is used with an ATM, reception and disbursement information are displayed on the display section when the user depresses a key. Further, just by depressing the one-touch key, the user of the card can receive notification of necessary operations with the ATM by voice.

  • Patent number: 4594758
    Abstract: A method of making a double layer capacitor that is not susceptible to short-circuits due to smearing of conductive material along the edges during cutting. The device is formed with the bonding agent between an outer conductive member and an inner resilient insulator in a semi-hardened state. After initial fabrication and cutting, the device is compressed and the bonding agent completely hardened while the device is under compression. Release of the pressure sets up shear stresses that fracture any conductive material bridging the resilient insulating members and creates step portions at the exterior interface of the conductive material and the resilient insulator.
