Barry A. Watzman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7311245
    Abstract: A system indicates fault conditions in an automated banking machine apparatus. A journal printer (12, 106) is supplied with paper from a paper supply (16, 112). A paper take-up device (18, 114) receives paper from the printer. Movement of the take-up device is sensed by a detector (70, 146, 124). The detector is connected to an electronic circuit (74, 118) including a processor (76, 120). Fault signals are generated by the electronic circuit responsive to the detector sensing conditions representative of a paper jam and a paper break.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4703419
    Abstract: In a dual microprocessor system, a processor transfer, or swap, arrangement and method therefor are disclosed for transferring control from one processor to another. The present invention involves the temporary suspension of operation of a first microprocessor which relinquishes system control and the initiation of operation of a second microprocessor which may begin operation either where it last left off or may execute a new operating routine in accordance with instructions provided by the first microprocessor. Provision is made for automatically handing over system control to the second microprocessor upon the occurrence of an interrupt. In addition, the microprocessor not exercising system control is rendered unresponsive to the occurrence of a program interrupt allowing it to continue opration unaffected by the program interrupt following its reactivation.
