Abstract: A method for determining the stock of notes of value in a device (12) for receiving notes of value includes determining the orientation of a note of value before it is fed to the device (12) and storing the order in which the notes of value are received in the device (12). For at least a part of the received notes of value their respective orientation is stored such that it is unambiguously assigned to the note of value. For determining the stock, the respective orientation of a predetermined number of successively removed notes of value is determined. These determined orientations are compared with the stored orientations and dependent on the result of the comparison the stock of notes of value in the device (12) is determined.

Abstract: A solar module riser assembly that is configured to allow a solar module attached thereto to fall-to-flat when not being forced into an angular position is provided. A riser assembly includes a riser support and a tube support attached to the riser support. A torque tube may extend across a plurality of riser assemblies and be retained by tube supports attached to each of the riser assemblies. A torque tube support is configured to rotate about the riser support and thereby position a solar module coupled thereto at an optimum angular orientation for solar exposure and track the sun. A first riser and second riser may be configured on opposing sides of a central drive device and lever arms attached to link bars drive tube supports when the link bar is moved. The first and second riser may be configured to create equal and opposite force on the link bar.

Abstract: In order to determine crosswind effects between a weapon and its intended target (204) a crosswind gradient measuring apparatus (600) directs a first pulsed coherent light beam (646) and a second pulsed coherent light beam (648) to the target (204). Light of both beams scattered back by aerosols in the air is measured by using a detector (652) thus generating a beat frequency in the detector signal. The beat frequency indicates a Doppler-shift due to crosswind as a function of range between weapon and target wherein the range is determined by the time of flight. The information determined by such a Doppler differential interferometer, DDI, is utilized by a signal processor (608) to calculate the bullet's crosswind offset which enables manual of automatic adjustment of an aiming mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the stock of notes of value of a drum storage (22). For at least a part of the notes of value, the current motor position is determined after winding up the note of value and stored such that it is unambiguously assigned to the respective note of value. For determining the stock of the drum storage (22), the current motor position is determined and compared with the stored motor positions. Dependent on the result of this comparison, the stock is determined. Further, the invention relates to a device (10, 22, 30) for receiving notes of value, which comprises a drum storage (22), a memory element and a control unit (26), the control unit (26) implementing the above-described method steps.
