Patent number: 5988348Abstract: A coin discrimination apparatus and method is provided. Coins, preferably after cleaning, e.g. using a trommel, are singulated by a coin pickup assembly configured to reduce jamming. A coin rail assists in providing separation between coins as they travel past a sensor. The sensor provides an oscillating electromagnetic field generated on a single sensing core. The oscillating electromagnetic field is composed of one or more frequency components. The electromagnetic field interacts with a coin, and these interactions are monitored and used to classify the coin according to its physical properties. All frequency components of the magnetic field are phase-locked to a common reference frequency. The phase relationships between the various frequencies are fixed, and the interaction of each frequency component with the coin can be accurately determined without the need for complicated electrical filters.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1997Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Coinstar, Inc.Inventors: Doug Martin, Larry Cannon, Mark Waechter, Rodrigo Berho, Daniel Everhart, Robert Blumberg, Paul Leonard, Cheryl Germany, Dan Gerrity, Alan C.

Patent number: 5773132Abstract: A method of minimizing forming of white spots and delamination of a copper plane bonded to one surface of a dielectric material following additive pattern plating of copper onto the other surface of the material and in vias contacting the copper plane utilizing a plating solution containing a reducing agent and the resulting product is provided. The surface of the copper which has been bonded to the one surface of the dielectric has been treated, preferably by a sodium chlorite treatment to form a chemical roughened surface of copper oxide (CuO and CuO(II)) on the copper. Prior to the bonding, the roughened surface of the copper oxide is treated with a solution such as benzotriazole, which complexes with the copper oxide to prevent formation of white spots and delamination as a result of such plating.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1997Date of Patent: June 30, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lawrence Robert Blumberg, William T.
