Abstract: A method (100) for depassivation of a battery (BATT) of a cash and valuables container (10) includes at least one electronically controllable component (14) and an associated control circuit (18) being supplied by the battery (BATT). The control circuit (18) executes at least one control procedure for the at least one electronically controllable component (14). The valuables container can be transportable, e.g. a cash box (10), and includes an invalidation unit, in particular an ink dyeing system (14). The control circuit (18) then also executes the depassivation (120) of the battery (BATT) each time before activating or deactivating the at least one control procedure (130) or a sub-routine thereof, such as the sub-routine for controlling and driving the ink dyeing system. Specifically, the depassivation of the battery (BATT) is performed before each first/initial execution of the least one control procedure (130).

Abstract: An apparatus for aligning notes of value along a transport path has a note reader with a scanning line with areas detection areas there along. The scanning areas are arranged along a line orthogonally with respect to a central axis of the transport path. A first and at least one second transport elements serve to transport the note along the transport path in at least one transport direction. The transport elements each contact the note in a contact area. At least one aligning apparatus is used for aligning the note, which is arranged between the first and second transport elements and forms a section of the transport path. The note reader detects the trailing edge of the note in a first scanning area and in a second scanning area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cash box (10) having a receiving area (12) for receiving notes of value, an invalidating unit (14), a sensor unit (18) for detecting manipulation attempts and a control unit (16). In an activated operating state, the control unit (16) triggers the invalidating unit (14) when the sensor unit (18) detects a manipulation attempt. In a deactivated operating state, the control unit (16) does not trigger the invalidating unit (14) even in the presence of a manipulation attempt. Prior to the activation of the cash box (10), the control unit (16) checks the proper functioning of at least one sensor (20) of the sensor unit (18). In addition, the invention relates to a method for activating a cash box (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (20) for transport and/or storage of notes of value. The device (20) comprises a roller storage (20) having a winding drum (1, 30). Further, the device (20) comprises a sensor (26, 34) for detecting a rotary motion of the winding drum (1, 30).

Abstract: A manipulation detection system for removable insertable cash cartridges in automated banking machines is described, wherein the cash cartridge has a lockable cash dispensing/deposit opening for disbursing money and/or depositing money in the operating position of the cash cartridge, wherein the cash dispensing/deposit opening is opened automatically when the cash cartridge is inserted into the automated banking machine even before said cassette reaches its operating position, wherein when the cash dispensing/deposit opening is opened, a manipulation alert is generated at the cash cartridge by means of a sensor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for operating a cash box (10), in which in a memory element (18) of a control unit (14) of the cash box (10) program data of a production bootstrap loader for booting the cash box (10) and a production key (P) for encrypting data sent by the cash box (10) and/or for decrypting received data are factory-stored. For commencing operation the cash box (10) is inserted in a device (30, 54, 62, 72) for receiving cash boxes (10). A data transmission connection is established to the cash box (10). The program data of the production bootstrap loader are replaced by program data of an operation bootstrap loader for booting the cash box (10) and the production key (P) is replaced by a client-specific operation key (A, B, C, D).

Abstract: A single sheet handling device (20) for the input and/or output of at least one single sheet (38) respectively into and out of a container (20). The single sheet handling device (30) has a vane wheel (54) with at least one vane (58, 59). The vane (58, 59) presses at least a part of the single sheets (38) arranged in a stack (36) in the container (20) into the container (20) upon a contact of the vane (58, 59) with the front side of the stack (36) or holds these single sheets in a position in the container (20). The vane (58, 59) has an inner rigid first area (72, 74) and a flexible second area (76, 78) extending outwardly beyond the first area (72, 74).
