  • Patent number: 8127914
    Abstract: The change replenishment management system includes a coin roll storage (1), a coin change dispenser (3), and a POS register (5). A control unit (16) of the storage (1) detects the presence and the denomination of a coin roll in a storage section of each drawer (11, 12, 13) in accordance with an output signal generated from a detection system (18), and transmits the result of detection to the coin change dispenser (3). When loose coins obtained by unpacking removed coin rolls, which are removed from the storage (1), are introduced into an inlet (30), a control unit (36 or 50) of the change dispenser (3) or register (5) compares the denomination and the number of the loose coins, which are detected by identification unit (31), with the denomination and the number of the removed coin roll determined on the basis of the detection result transmitted from the storage (1), and judging the correspondence therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20030012005
    Abstract: According to an electronic circuit device, when a circuit board having electrical parts mounted thereon is sealed with resin, the heat and pressure of the resin is prevented from acting on the electrical parts thus mounted. A circuit board (10) having electrical parts (11) and an IC (12) mounted thereon is accommodated in a sleeve formed of a thermal-shrinkage film (16), and subjected to thermal shrinkage to intermediate-package the circuit board. Thereafter, the overall body thereof is molded with a resin (17) and the circuit board (10) is sealed.
