Abstract: Food service workers prepare a number of items throughout the day at a food counter, so the workers may need to track process steps for entirely different processes that are running concurrently. For example, the worker may need to remove a pizza from an oven one moment, and remove breadstick dough from a refrigerator one minute later. A programmable weighing scale guides users through process steps of a process, and tracks completion time of process steps for multiple processes, and alerts a food service worker when a next step in one of multiple, concurrently running processes needs to be completed. Because data stored for each process can be selected throughout, for example, an entire working day, the controller of the weighing scale can track timing requirements for each step of each process. The weighing apparatus is independent of other apparatuses used in completing the process steps (e.g., refrigerators, ovens, mixers, etc.

Abstract: Each processor (92) in a data processing system (80) caches a copy of the master calendar clock (97). The master calendar clock (97) and all of the cached calendar clocks (272) are periodically incremented utilizing a common clock (99). Whenever a processor (92) in the system (80) loads the master calendar clock (97) with a new value, that processor (92) broadcasts a cached calendar clock updated interrupt signal (276) to all of the processors in the system. In response to this interrupt (278), each processor (92) clears its cached calendar clock valid flag (274). Whenever a read calendar clock instruction is executed on a processor (92), the flag (274) is tested, and if set, its cached calendar clock (272) value is returned. Otherwise, the master calendar clock (97) value is retrieved, written to that processor's cached calendar clock (272), and returned. The cached calendar clock valid flag (274) is set to indicate a valid cached calendar clock (272).

Abstract: A method of cash card billing with the aid of parking or pay meters when parking a vehicle. A pay meter system is provided which includes a plurality of pay meters, wherein each pay meter constitutes an independent operative unit and is equipped with a cash card reader. A person parking a vehicle finds a meter and with the aid of the cash card reader feeds into the pay meter information from the cash card relating at least to the cash card account number. When the cash card has been read by the first pay meter (BA1) the meter stores the account number (KN) and the parking commencement time (IT) in a memory (BA1 MEM) that is part of the first pay meter. The first pay meter (BA1) issues a parking ticket on which a transaction number (TN) and parking commencement time (IT) are recorded in a machine-readable form. When terminating the parking period, the parking ticket is read in a second pay meter (BA2), which may be any chosen pay meter in the pay meter system.
