Patent number: 8950666Abstract: A system includes a plurality of machines that operate responsive to data bearing records such as user cards (74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86). The machines operate to carry out financial transactions with associated host computers (90, 94, 100, 104) responsive to determinations that card data corresponds to computer stored data corresponding to authorized users or accounts. Marketing presentations are stored on and output from the machines responsive to messages exchanged with a market message server (110) which is connected to the machines. Systems can also distribute and activate instructions corresponding to states and screens logic on the machines to determine operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: James Meek, Nick Billett, Balaji Devarasetty, Lee Kravitz, Mark Reinart, Michael O'Boyle, Ken Koran, William Hemlick

Publication number: 20060267830Abstract: A predictive collision radar system in a vehicle incorporates a first antenna and a guard antenna, the associated radiation patterns of which overlap with one another, but the radiation pattern of the guard antenna is broader than that of the first antenna. A comparison of signals from the first and guard antennas provides for rejecting targets that are not likely a threat to the vehicle. In one embodiment the first antenna is a multi-beam antenna with an electromagnetic lens, for example, either dielectric or planar, and a signal from a forward looking element thereof is compared with the signal from the guard antenna aligned therewith. In another embodiment, an electromagnetic lens is adapted to cooperate with the guard antenna so as to provide for forming the associated radiation pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2006Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventor: Michael O'Boyle

Publication number: 20050111700Abstract: A camera (32) captures successive images of light stripes (22) projected onto an object by a light curtain (18) positioned by a light source positioner (28). A background image is subtracted (616) therefrom, and the resulting image is boosted by binning (618), binarized with a thresholding algorithm (620), skeletonized (622), interpolated (624) and stored (626). Interpolated images are acquired for a plurality of light stripes (22). A processor (30) generates (1604) a 3-D surface model from Cartesian coordinates computed for non-zero camera pixels. A volumetric representation is determined (1610) from the offset of the object surface model relative to a model of a proximate surface, e.g. a seating surface (24). The object is classified (1614), e.g. by a trainable pattern recognitions system, responsive to 3-D shape descriptors (1606) of the 3-D surface model and to the volumetric representation (1610) or portions (1612) thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2004Publication date: May 26, 2005Inventors: Michael O'Boyle, Owen Davies, Gregory Schamp

Patent number: 5989067Abstract: A protective device for use with a lamp holder for a high-voltage dual-pin lamp, such as a halogen lamp, includes a wall that surrounds the lower portion of an installed bi-pin lamp so as to prevent contact of the installer's fingers with the high-voltage pins. The protective device may also include a transverse rib that prevents the insertion of a low-voltage bi-pin lamp into a high-voltage lamp holder.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1998Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: LightolierInventors: David Morgan, Michael O'Boyle
