Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for canceling, in particular destroying, sheet material, in particular bank notes. The apparatus includes at least one canceling means to which the sheet material to be canceled is fed, in which the fed sheet material is canceled, in particular destroyed, and from which the canceled sheet material is discharged. The apparatus also includes at least one supervising means for monitoring the sheet material being discharged or having been discharged from said canceling means. For improved monitoring of the cancellation of sheet material, in particular with respect to malfunctions, there is provided at least one monitoring means for monitoring the fed sheet material. The fed sheet material is compared to the sheet material being discharged or having been discharged in an evaluation means.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a corresponding method for canceling, in particular destroying, sheet material, in particular bank notes. The apparatus comprises at least one canceling means (2) to which the sheet material (1) to be canceled is fed, in which the fed sheet material (11) is canceled, in particular destroyed, and from which the canceled sheet material (11) is discharged. The apparatus comprises furthermore at least one supervising means (7) for monitoring the sheet material (11) being discharged or having been discharged from said canceling means (2). For improved monitoring of the cancellation of sheet material, in particular with respect to malfunctions, there is provided at least one monitoring means (6a, 6b) for monitoring the fed sheet material (1). The fed sheet material (11) is compared to the sheet material (11) being discharged or having been discharged in an evaluation means (9).

Abstract: A resistance device for use in an exercising apparatus having a plurality of resistance elements, a force transmission device and a resistance adjusting device. Through the force transmission device, a user can apply an exercise force to the resistance elements which in general provide a resisting force derived from atmospheric pressure. For adjusting the total resistance, the user may operate the resistance adjusting device to determine which resistance element(s) is(are) enabled to adjust the level of resisting force.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for checking the correct processing of bank notes in automatic bank note sorters for sorting certain amounts of money into different categories according to given criteria, whereby partial amounts are destroyed if necessary, and a log is prepared, after a given amount of money has been processed or after a certain unit of time, to record information about the processed bank notes, among other things, and the log additionally contains at least one authenticity marking calculated from given log data and clearly related to the data included in the calculation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring the destruction of thin sheet material, in particular bank notes, in an automatic sorting machine, whereby the sheet material is fed by a transport means successively sheet by sheet to a motor-driven cutting means having meshing cutter boards. The destruction process and/or its immediate result are detected by sensor means.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically cancelling bank notes comprises an ink jet printer which provides cancellation markings on bank notes in contactless fashion. A marking sensor which checks the presence of the markings is protected, along with the ink jet printer, against unauthorized access.
