Abstract: A rolling-up apparatus disposed below the knitting unit of a circular knitting machine has a pair of support frames rotatable and stoppable in synchronism with the knitting unit. A take-up spool, having a pair of spool members subdividing it lengthwise, is supported by the support frames and is rotatable about a horizontal axis. The spool members are advanced to a rolling-up position to clamp the leading end of the fabric and then rotated to roll up the fabric thereon. The spool members are withdrawn from the rolled-up fabric, which is then delivered from the knitting machine. The spool members are advanced again to the rolling-up position to roll up the subsequent portion of fabric, after part of it has been deflected into the path of the path of the spool members by a fabric shifting member.

Abstract: An IC card includes an integrated circuit composed of a transmitter/receiver, a processor, a memory, and a display controller, a display, and control switches for successively switching data displayed on the display. Desired data stored in the memory can be displayed on the display by a command delivered through the transmitter/receiver or by actuation of the control switches. An IC card reader for reading the IC card includes signal transmitting and receiving circuits for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the IC card, and a control unit for displaying the stored data on the display of the IC card in dependance upon the processed results.

Abstract: An automatic bank note depositing and dispensing machine includes a first detector for detecting when the number of bank notes in a container is smaller than a first prescribed number, a second detector for detecting when the number of bank notes in the container is larger than a second prescribed number, a bank note transfer assembly for delivering bank notes to and receiving bank notes from a fixed or self-propelled external delivery unit in response to output signals from the first and second detectors, a first feeder for receiving bank notes via the bank note transfer assembly from the external delivery unit when the number of bank notes in the container is detected by the first detector as being smaller than the first prescribed number, and for feeding the received bank notes to the bank note container, and a second feeder for feeding bank notes via the bank note transfer assembly from the bank note container to the external delivery unit when the number of bank notes in the container is detected by the

Abstract: The present invention relates to a read and/or write apparatus for ID cards, wherein a magnetic read head for reading at least a magnetic stripe and a magnetic write head are disposed along a running passage for identification cards (hereinafter referred to as "ID cards") for use with an automatic teller system, a credit card system or other various account maintenance systems. Also, connecting member to be connected to a set of connecting terminals of an integrated circuit built in an ID card is provided. The apparatus provides for the reading and/or writing on three kinds of ID cards, that is, an ID card having at least a magnetic stripe, an ID card having at least a magnetic stripe and an integrated circuit built therein and an ID card having at least an integrated circuit built therein but having no magnetic stripe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic transaction system for performing transactions with an automatic transaction apparatus, by using identification cards (hereinafter referred to as "ID cards") for an automatic teller system, a credit card system or other various maintenance systems.

Abstract: 16-Oxa- and 16-thia-D-homo-estrogen derivatives useful as postcoital oral contraceptives which are produced by total synthesis from 1-vinyltetralin-1-ols or their thiuronium derivatives on reactions with 4-substituted tetrahydropyran- or tetrahydrothiopyran-3,5-diones, and subsequent appropriate modifications.
