Abstract: An automated card counter (20) with a housing (22) with an open front with a card dek assembly (24) having a front opening to a card counting location and an underlying support for a stack (29) of cards (30) such as may be contained in a card box, such as plastic opaque, transparent or translucent credit cards, with an optical sensing system for detecting the edges of the cards (30) in the stack (29) to determine the number, or count, of the total number of the cards (30) in the stack (29) including a light source (64) composed of an elongate string of a plurality of high intensity light emitting diodes directing red light rearward and downwardly away from the front card deck opening and along the entire length of the stack of cards through a window (96), a mirror (76) for simultaneous reflecting a complete image of the entire stack of cards downwardly and rearward to another mirror (100) that reflects the complete image rearward and horizontally to a lens system (108) with a relatively wide depth of field to focus the image on a photosensor (110) composed of a linear array of approximately ten thousand charge coupled devices that produce electrical signals that are converted to numbers by an A/D converter and processed by by a microprocessor (116) to distinguish real cards from persons fingers, the edges of card boxes (28) and other like objects that may routinely appear in the field of view of the card stack. The card deck (26) is a planer member that is supported above a support surface (47) by legs (35) and is removably mounted to enable the counting of oversized cards or cards on end by removing the card deck (26) and supporting the card counter (20) on supporting them on the support surface (47).

Abstract: A scanner and a method for scanning a beam along a path employ a housing (320) that defines a first cylindrical cavity (322). A ring gear (330) is disposed within the cylindrical cavity and affixed to the housing. A beam (312) is generated from a fixed location relative to the housing. A drive disk (340) is disposed within the first cylindrical cavity. The drive disk defines a second cylindrical cavity (348) and has a first axis of rotation (315). The drive disk defines a first channel in communication with the beam. The first channel (346) has a first proximal end pivotally rotatable about an axis adjacent the fixed location. A scan disk is disposed within the second cylindrical cavity and has a second axis of rotation offset from the first axis of rotation. The scan disk defines a second channel (366). The second channel has a second proximal end (374) in communication with the first distal opening (354). A spur gear (332), affixed to the scan disk, engages the ring so that the drive disk rotates in the first direction, the spur gear is displaced along the ring gear (330), thus causing the scan disk to rotate in a second direction opposite the first direction causing the second distal end to reciprocate. The beam is coupled through the first channel and the second channel and out of the second distal opening toward the path, thereby causing the beam to scan along the path as the second distal end reciprocates.

Abstract: A hand-held controller wand (10) including three rate measurement sensors (40, 42 and 44) is coupled to a computing means (90) for translating roll, pitch, and yaw data into translation and rotation signals or commands that effect the movement of an external device's control point, which may be an end effector (120) of a robot. A transformation matrix is continually updated from the angular rate information obtained from the hand-held controller (130). This matrix is used to update a direction vector. A value may be stored in the computing means (90) corresponding to a predetermined speed of movement. A button (22) or other convenient control allows the operator to control translation movement of the end effector (120) or other controlled device in a direction defined by the orientation of the hand-held controller (130) at the predetermined speed, thus providing an intuitive control input for real-time direction and programming of movement. Because the present orientation of the wand (10) is also known to the computing means (90), rotational movement may also be directed.

Abstract: A card package production system (10) with interchangeable inserters (24A, 24B) and carrier folders (86A, 86B) to enable use of forms (26A, 26B) of different types verifies the cards (30) if they are properly produced and rejects them if they are not prior to the attachment to a carrier. The embossed characters and encoding read from the card are compared with the stored card data to verify accuracy and are compared to coding on the carrier form (26A, 26B) to determine if there is a match. A code on the carrier is also compared to stored carrier data and to the cards provided for insertion and are rejected without cards if incorrectly prepared.

In another embodiment of the carrier form (80), pockets (98, 100) are made from rectilinear cuts to enable opening of the pockets (98, 100) by means of a roller and the cards (30) are held in the pockets by folding the lagging end section (88) over the middle section (90) adjacent the edge (102) of the card (30).

Abstract: A card counter (10) prints card inventory information locally and communicates with a remote computer (43) for permanent storage and retrieval of inventory information. A microprocessor controller detects a counting error in response to the actual count failing to match a preset count, failing to match a precount information machine read from a machine readable precount label (130) attached to the cards (18), in the event of a phase error from a pair of parallel scanning card sensor circuits (58, 59) or if the final counts of the two card sensor circuits (58, 59) do not match. In the event of detection of a counting error, an error indication is provided and entry of the count into an accumulator memory is inhibited. The preset number is entered into memory by selectively entering an actual count into the preset memory. A pair of separate accumulators are provided for concurrently accumulating totals of two different groups of cards (18). The card sensor circuits (58, 59) are digitally filtered by the microprocessor (44) which also automatically performs self diagnostics to reduce countin errors due to malfunction. Malfunction of a scan drive motor (61) is reduced through provision of a slip clutch (Figs. 10A and 10B). Alphanumeric display units are both electrically connected to the control circuit (Fig. 2) and releasibly, mechanically attached to a printed circuit board (112) of said control circuit (Fig. 2) by means of a multiline electrical connector (120) attached to the edge of the printed circuit board (112).

Abstract: A system and process for polishing and radiusing a microhole (52). A liquid slurry with particular rheological properties accelerates as it flows through the microhole (52) to abrade the edge of the microhole (52). When the flow rate reaches a target flow rate the process stops and the microhole (52) is properly calibrated.

Abstract: A smart card verification insertion system (10) for inserting smart cards (30) into corresponding carriers (50) only after verifying the card data read with a mag stripe reader (72), an embossed character reader (74), an IC chip reader (64), and a first bar code reader (68) and a back bar code reader (70) and data encoded on the printed carrier read with a carrier reader (106) correspond to one another and also correspond to account data stored in a smart card account data memory (67). If it is determined that the card has been incorrectly prepared, an incorrect card reject mechanism (96) is actuated by a verification controller (66) in response to the mismatch. Similarly, if the data read by the carrier reader (106) does not match the data read from the card or retrieved from the smart card account data memory (67), a mismatch card reject mechanism (110) is actuated.

Abstract: The mailing form for carrying at least one card comprises a flexible planar body (82) with one section (88) connected at a fold line (84) to another section (90) for supporting at least one card; and a pair of rectilinear slots (104, 106) cut in the body to form a pair of opposed corner pockets (98, 100) spaced from the fold line (84) for receipt of opposed corners of the card to hold the card adjacent the fold line, each rectilinear slot having a pair of spaced slot sections (108, 110) parallel to each other and a cross slot section (112) transversely extending between the pair of parallel spaced slot sections, said slot sections having a pair of distal ends respectively on opposite sides of the cross slot section, said other section (90) foldable over the one section (88) to block removal of the corners of cards from the corner pockets.
