  • Patent number: 9631414
    Abstract: A device for managing valuables includes a housing having a service area including a printer, a primary vault attached to the housing and having a primary vault locking system for storing valuables, and a secondary vault mounted in the housing and having control electronics for operating the device. The secondary vault isolates the control electronics from the primary vault and from the service area to inhibit tampering with the control electronics.

  • Publication number: 20120255467
    Abstract: The invention refers to a device for management, collection, and/or dispensing of valuables, in particular money, with a locked vault area and an operator and service area, wherein all of the valuables as well as the vault area's controlling units are essentially arranged completely within the vault area, preferably in a certified vault, and essentially all control electronics is arranged in the operator and service area, whereby the vault area and the operator and service area exhibit separate locking systems. According the invention, a second vault area is provided in which the control electronics for controlling the controlling units in the first vault area is arranged wherein said second vault area is separated both from the first vault area for collecting the valuables and from the remaining operator and service area, and exhibits a locking system separate from that of the first vault area and of the operator and service area.

  • Patent number: 5831218
    Abstract: Board delamination during the singulation from a board panel and board sagging during front-end assembly are two biggest problems encountered in cellular manufacturing lines. The method (700) and circuit board panel (600) of the present invention substantially eliminate assembly-line delamination and sagging for circuit board manufacturing. A number of slots are punched to fit into a circuit board profile. V-grooves are cut along each of the circuit board profiles through the slots and directly opposite on a top and bottom of the circuit board. Thus, optimization of the cut-outs and v-groove configurations eliminate tearing/delamination and substantially reduce sagging.
