Abstract: A transport system for use in a hospital. When patients visit the hospital, data items representing their ID numbers and the ID codes of their doctors are input to a minicomputer. In accordance with these data items, the covers containing the patients' medical cards are automatically withdrawn from three card storages installed in the hospital, in groups each consisting of cards which are to be transported to the same destination. The covers of each group are inserted into a case by way of the card-ejecting device provided for each card storage. The case containing the covers, which are to be transported to the same destination, is automatically transported to the destination via a case transfer apparatus.

The adjacent stories are connected to one another with the use of suitable vertical conveyance device by which container cases can be conveyed therebetween. Further, this invention provides a container case usable for the conveyance system includes a pair of guide rails and a flexible lid and by sliding the lid along the side wall surfaces of the housing of the container case, the upper open end of the container case can be opened or closed. The container case is provided with a locking mechanism in order to assure that the lid is kept in the closed state.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying articles in carrier cases between one location in a hospital to a second location is disclosed. A station with a control panel is located in each room in the hospital which is to be reached by the system. A main conveyance path including a linear induction motor extends between each station. The stations include a branch conveyance path extending from a stop position on the main conveyance path to an input/output section for inputting carrier cases into the system or receiving carrier cases sent from other locations. A transferring device is located at each stop position and transfers carrier cases from the main conveyance path to each station. The system is run by a central control unit which controls the conveyance of the carrier cases along the main conveyance path as well as transference of the articles between the main conveyance path and the station and the movement of the carrier cases at the station itself.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus comprises an original table, a lamp located above the original table and used as a first light source for irradiating light to an original placed on the original table, another lamp located below the original table and used as a second light source for irradiating light to the original, and a photoelectric converter for receiving the light passing through the original or the light reflected therefrom, and converting the light into electric signals. Upon the pushing of a passing-light mode key incorporated in a console panel, the first light source is turned on and is moved, together with the photoelectric converter, in a straight line along the original table, in order to read the image formed on the original which is of the type through which light passes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical reader for scanning a surface to be scanned by using information beam ray such as laser beam ray and optically reading a recorded information such as bar code recorded in the surface to be scanned. The optical reader is constituted such that optical beam emitted from a light source is reflected on a first rotary multiface mirror to scan on a surface to be scanned, and information beam reflected on the surface to be scanned is reflected on a second rotary multiface mirror to guide to an opto-electric transforming means. A scanning optical path for permitting the optical beam from the light source to pass therealong is formed independently from a reflecting optical path for permitting the information beam from the surface to be scanned to pass therealong.

Abstract: There is a sorting apparatus for mixed envelopes according to whether or not the envelopes are face-up, and whether or not they are upside-down. Each envelope is carried lengthwise and a parallel light beam is radiated on the envelope from the right and left oblique directions with respect to the carrying direction of the envelope. When the light beam is radiated on the backside of the envelope from the upper side of the envelope, the shadow of the flap is formed on the envelope. Whether or not the envelope is face-up and whether or not the envelope is rightside-up is determined by this shadow detection.

Abstract: Analog switches are connected between corresponding photodiodes and a common output line. The analog switches are sequentially scanned in response to scanning pulses. During the ON period of each scanning pulse, the corresponding analog switch is turned on twice. A first circuit produces a first signal, including an image signal component and a noise signal component, when the analog switch is turned on for the first time, and produces a second signal including only the noise signal component, when the analog switch is turned on for the second time. A second circuit produces the signal derived from the difference between the first and second signals, i.e., the image signal.

Abstract: In a printed matter identifying apparatus of the present invention, the light source illuminates the detecting fields of the note. The reflected light-waves from the detecting fields are lead to the light receivers through the focusing lenses, the diffusion plates, the optical slits, the light conducting paths and red color transmitting and blue color transmitting filters. The output signals from the light receivers are amplified by the amplifiers and sampled by the sampling circuits. Among the sampled color component signals, the red component signals are applied to the subtracter to produce the red component difference signal and the blue component signals are applied to the adder to produce the blue component sum signal. These different signal and sum signal are applied to the comparators respectively and compared with the reference signals read out from the memory. The output signals from the comparators are supplied to the judgment circuit where the judgment of the printed matter is performed.

Abstract: The metal detecting device includes first and second coils provided on both sides of a passageway for paper money. This metal detecting device is designed for use in detecting a metal strip embedded in the paper money in order to determine whether the paper money is genuine or counterfeit. The first coil is connected to a high frequency AC source to generate an AC magnetic field. The second coil is connected to a capacitor to form a resonance circuit which resonates at the same frequency as the AC current. The variation of the Q factor of the resonance circuit due to eddy-current losses produced in the metal strip of the paper money is used by a detecting circuit to determine whether the paper money passing through the space between the first and second coils is genuine.

Abstract: A paper note containing a magnetic strip is transported along a path and adjacent a magnetic detector. This magnetic detector comprises a magnet and a magnetic resistance element provided in the magnetic field generated by the magnet. When the magnetic strip passes through this magnetic field, the change in the field is detected by circuitry. This circuitry detects the change in resistance of the magnetic resistance element. By checking the change in resistance of the resistance element and comparing it with a predetermined value, the existance or non-existance of the magnetic strip can be determined.
