Abstract: A data center is contained within a building which includes protection from vandalism, high winds, earthquake, and storms. Circulated water within the building is used for cooling or fire suppression. Explosions emanating from inside or outside of the building are protected against by the construction components of the building containing the data center.

Abstract: A speed typing method and apparatus having multiple letters associated with each key of a keyboard. By utilizing multiple characters on each key, the number of keys would be fewer than the number of letters in the alphabet using this system. Each key on the keyboard is associated with a numerical code. The system uses the numerical code associated with a typed word to access a dictionary, table of words, or at least a beginning of words stored in memory at a memory location corresponding to the input numerical code. The system may display all of the possible words or beginnings of words available to the user in response to the input code.

Abstract: A record of a document is transmitted to a receiver so as to provide proof of transmission of the document by delivery of the to be transmitted document to a secure delivery box which provides a copy of all documents being transmitted to the sender and/or the recipient and/or the service provider of the delivery box by a hard copy or electronic copy of the documents inserted into the delivery box with the sender's address being visible through a transparent window of the to be delivered document or entered by an external keyboard of the delivery box so that copies and confirmation of delivery of transmitted documents is achieved.

Abstract: A speed typing method and apparatus having multiple letters associated with each key of a keyboard. By utilizing multiple characters on each key, fewer than 26 letter keys may be employed. Each key on the keyboard is associated with a numerical code. The system uses the numerical code associated with a typed word to access a dictionary or table of words stored in memory at a memory location corresponding to the input numerical code. The system may display all of the words available to the user in response to the input code. The user then selects one of the available words to be placed in the document. Alternatively the system may enable display of one or more preferred words.

Abstract: A machine for automatically dispensing a selected container from a store of containers and for automatically storing a container returned to the machine. The machine includes an array of storage bins for storing a plurality of containers. Each bin has a bottom with an elongated slot. The bins are arranged in a plurality of vertically-stacked, horizontal rows, with a horizontal passage between each horizontal row and a vertical passage connecting the horizontal passages. Each container is stored in a respective one of the bins. A controllable arm is mounted for relative movement through the horizontal and vertical passages between a first position for dispensing a selected container and for receiving a returned container, and a second position corresponding to a selected one of the bins. The controllable arm is mounted for movement through a respective one of the bins by passage through a respective one of the elongated slots.

Abstract: A parking lot gate control system having a pivoted normally horizontal gate bar which is automatically elevated to a raised non-obstructing position and then returned to its normal position by a mechanism driven by an electric motor under the control of a circuit including a clearance device at the entrance to the parking lot consisting of a switch unit operated by an identification card or coin and a car presence-sensing loop in the roadway beyond the clearance device. The circuit operates to raise the gate bar after a proper card or coin has been inserted in the clearance device; thereafter, the vehicle moves onto the loop. The gate bar descends after the vehicle leaves the loop. If another card or coin is inserted in the clearance device by the operator of a second car while the gate bar is descending, the gate bar reverses its downward movement and stays up until the second car has left the loop.
