  • Patent number: 7225973
    Abstract: A self-service terminal (10) comprising a user interface (14) including a display (30) is described. The display has a display area (80) for presenting financial information to a user (12). The terminal (10), which may be an ATM, comprises: a sensor (16) for sensing people in the vicinity of the terminal (10), and means (74) for confining transaction information to a sub-portion (84) of the display area in response to the sensor (16) sensing people in the vicinity of the terminal (10). A method of improving privacy on a self-service terminal is also described.

  • Patent number: 6878011
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector is provided for interconnecting coaxial cables having center and outer conductors. The coaxial cable connector utilizes a contact and shell arrangement defining a strip line geometry for the electric fields generated by signals passing through the coaxial cable connector. The contacts and shells may be formed with planar conductors aligned parallel to one another with a center conductive strip sandwiched between planar ground strips, all of which are separated by dielectric materials. The widths and thicknesses of the contact and ground planes, the spacing there between and the dielectric materials are manufacturable in an easy, reliable, and cost effective method.

  • Patent number: 6821150
    Abstract: A connector assembly comprising a central contact, an inner ground shield surrounding at least a portion of the central contact, and a dielectric cover. The dielectric cover has an inner cavity that receives the central contact and the inner ground shield. The dielectric cover includes a dielectric member formed integral therewith. The dielectric member extends into the inner cavity and at least partially surrounds the central contact to partially electrically isolate and separate the central contact and the inner ground shield from one another within the dielectric cover.
