Abstract: A method of making a resonant frequency tag which resonates at a predetermined frequency comprises the steps of forming a first conductive pattern comprising an inductive element and a first land, the first land having a first end connected to one end of the inductive element, and a second end spaced a predetermined distance from the first end; separately forming a second conductive pattern comprising a second land and a link element, the second land having a predetermined width; placing the second conductive pattern proximate to the first conductive pattern at a first predetermined location so that the second land overlies at least a portion of the first land with a dielectric therebetween to establish the plates of a capacitive element with a first predetermined capacitance which with the inductive element forms a resonant circuit; measuring the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit and comparing the measured frequency with the predetermined frequency; if the resonant frequency does not match the predetermined frequency within a selected tolerance, moving the second conductive pattern so that the second land moves along the length of the first land to thereby change the capacitance of the capacitive element; repeating the last two steps until a match occurs; and securing the second conductive pattern to the first conductive pattern.

Abstract: Apparatus for and method of auditing document numbers from sequentially numbered documents such as business records which includes a scanner for sensing numerics printed on a sales slip or guest check, a memory for receiving and storing a block of numbers associated with a block of such sales slips or guest checks, circuitry for removing from memory a particular guest check number when the guest check is received for payment of the transaction, and a printer for displaying the guest check numbers remaining in memory. In operation, when a block of guest checks which are sequentially numbered have been assigned to the employee of an establishment at the beginning of the business day, the guest checks having the lowest number and the highest number of the assigned block are scanned and the respective numbers printed thereon are stored. The apparatus initiates a count beginning with the lowest number entered and terminating with the highest number entered and stores all of such numbers from the lowest to the highest in the memory. Thereafter, when a guest check is entered into the scanner at a time when payment is received thereon, the number printed on that guest check is removed from memory. Whenever it is desired to determine which guest checks have not been received from the particular block which has been issued, the apparatus can be actuated to provide a print out of the numbers remaining in memory. Also disclosed is a coded member corresponding to a numeric character which has a plurality of pattern portions, one for each half of a horizontal line of a character in a block form, and a pattern portion for an index mark associated with such a character. A scanner is also disclosed for reading such a coded number.
