Abstract: Controlling a multiplexer for switching between probes of a microwave sensor. The multiplexer is used to select one of the probes at any one time of operation of the sensor. Signal processing constants are updated for the selected probe. One or more signal conditioning devices are adjusted to optimize signal noise levels and dynamic range for the probe. The transmit frequency is set for the probe. Upon expiration of a transition period, a data acquisition operation or measurement operation is conducted with the probe. In turn, a time for switching to the next probe is calculated and applied prior to enabling the multiplexer to switch to another probe. These tasks are completed steps for each of the remaining probes of the microwave sensor and then repeated again for continuing operation of the sensor.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for use in the methods for contacting an eye of a patient with an effective amount of a therapeutic composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent, a pharmaceutically acceptable pH buffering agent and an antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a plurality of transaction function devices, including a cash dispenser. The machine can generate an HTTP record including indicia representative of an operational status of at least one transaction function device. The machine includes a server. The HTTP record can be accessed through the server by a computer external of the machine. The indicia can be generated responsive to a malfunction of a transaction function device. The indicia can be representative of the malfunction.

Abstract: An automated banking machine (12) is operative to conduct transactions in response to HTML documents and TCP/IP messages exchanged with a local computer system (14) through an intranet (16), as well as in response to messages exchanged with foreign servers (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 96) in a wide area network (18). The banking machine includes a computer (34) having an HTML document handling portion (76, 80, 82). The HTML document handling portion is operative to communicate through a proxy server (88), with a home HTTP server (90) in the intranet or the foreign servers in the wide area network. The computer further includes a device application portion (84) which interfaces with the HTML document handling portion and dispatches messages to operate devices (36) in the automated banking machine. The devices include a sheet dispenser mechanism (42) which dispenses currency as well as other transaction devices.

Abstract: A stretch wrapping apparatus is provided for stretch wrapping a load with a stretch wrapping material. The apparatus includes a dispenser for dispensing stretch wrapping material and a mechanism for rotating the dispenser around an axis of rotation to wrap the stretch wrapping material around the load. A conveyor transfers the load to and from a wrapping area, the conveyor having two sides and defining a centerline therebetween intersecting the axis of rotation. A frame supports the dispenser including at least one upright leg, only one leg of the frame being disposed on one of the sides of the conveyor and being spaced from a line perpendicularly intersecting the conveyor centerline at the axis of rotation.
