Abstract: A method and corresponding system for processing bank notes wherein bank notes are provided in a stack and each has a serial number. The bank notes are arranged according to a first sequence of their serial numbers. According to the method and system, the bank notes are removed singly from the stack and processed successively in accordance with the first sequence of their serial numbers. A second sequence of serial numbers of the processed bank notes is determined. To minimize throughput losses in the case of disturbances during processing of a subset of bank notes, the following steps are implemented: depositing the subset of bank notes; continuing the processing of following bank notes in the stack in accordance with the first sequence of their serial numbers; and continuing the determination of the second sequence of serial numbers for the properly processed following bank notes using a hypothetical number of bank notes in the subset.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and corresponding system for processing bank notes wherein bank notes are provided in a stack, the bank notes each having a serial number and being present in the stack in accordance with a first sequence of their serial numbers, the bank notes are removed singly from the stack and processed successively in accordance with the first sequence of their serial numbers and wherein a second sequence of serial numbers of processed bank notes is determined.

Abstract: An aqueous release agent for the production of polyurethane moldings and more particularly of polyurethane foam moldings, is provided, which in combination with a release substance contain one or more specific polyvinyl alcohols. As such release substance the release agent preferably contains at least in part one or more unsaturated oligomeric or polymeric hydrocarbons with a molecular weight of at least 500 and iodine numbers of at least 60 optionally in the presence of foam stabilizers suitable for polyurethane systems.
