A cash transaction machine performs receiving and/or paying transactions of bills by manipulation of a user, transfers bills between a receptacle where bills are paid in and out and a storage where bills are stored, and by using a sterilizing unit for heat-sterilizing bills being transferred at a specified temperature range and a specified time period.

Cash transaction machine

Cash transaction machine and method for receiving and/or dispensing money by user's manipulation to transact the money comprise a bill receptacle, a bill dispense port, a bill storage and a transport unit for transporting the bill between the receptacle and/or the dispense port, a disinfection unit, and the storage. The bills received and/or to be dispensed are disinfected by the disinfection unit arranged in the transport unit by heating the bills by a heated roller, irradiating the bills by an ultraviolet ray from an ultraviolet ray lamp or applying disinfecting liquid to the bills. Alternatively, the bills are disinfected by a disinfection unit arranged in the storage by heating the bills by a heater or irradiating an electromagnetic wave to the bills.

Cash transaction machine and method

A stereoscopic image processing system is disclosed, in which there are provided a first conveyance passage including conveying rollers for conveying a medium having a nature that the volume thereof expands when heated, a stereoscopic image output device including a heating head and a roller for pressing the medium against the heating head so as to heat the medium thereby to form a stereoscopic image, and an information processing control section for processing information of respective parts of the processing system and controlling operation thereof.

Stereoscopic image processing system

A conveyor apparatus for conveying paper sheets having a plurality of conveyor path units which are connected to form a continuous conveyor path. Each unit includes a housing having both longitudinal ends opened, a sheet conveyor, provided in the housing, for conveying the paper sheets while holding the paper sheets between endless belts and a connecting structure provided on both longitudinal ends to enable each unit to be connected in series with other units. The conveyor is disposed near both longitudinal ends to make a distance between an adjacent conveyor, when the units are connected, small.

Alternatively, the bills are disinfected by a disinfection unit arranged in the storage by heating the bills by a heater or irradiating an electromagnetic wave to the bills.

A system for analyzing the operating conditions of electrical apparatus in order for the aged to check the change and abnormal state of life and for the external institute to check the safety of the houses or homes and so on. The data of standard power spectra of particular consumption current for each apparatus are stored in the memory of the system. The electrical signal detected from the wiring conductor is converted into a digital signal by the preprocessor and undergoes fast Fourier transform at the processor so as to be converted into an extracted power spectrum. If the extracted power spectrum includes a particular one of the standard power spectra as a result of comparing this spectrum with the standard power spectra, the operating conditions of that apparatus are stored in the memory with lapse of time. Thus, the life condition/rhythm of the private person can be checked by himself from the operating conditions of apparatus, and also transmitted as life information through the communication network to the outside institutes.

A sheet feeding device comprising a plurality of pickup rollers for exerting a feeding force P (gf) on thin sheets which have ream weights K (kg) less than 55 kg and one or more friction rollers for offering resistance to the thin sheets fed by the pickup rollers. A distance L (mm), in a feeding direction, between the pickup rollers and the friction rollers is set in a range defined by the relationship ##EQU1## so as to enable a feeding of the thin sheets with no buckling.

An information display apparatus which accumulates arbitrary information inputted to a television receiver from the outside, superimposes the information in a memory on an ordinary video signal and displays the superimposed image on a television display in accordance with a calender timer built in the television receiver. A remote control unit is provided for inputting information to the information display apparatus from the outside. Memories are disposed in the information display apparatus and the remote control unit for accumulating arbitrary information. A calender timer is provided for serving as a reference for displaying information are also disclosed. Arbitrary information inputted from the outside can be displayed on a television display at a previously appointed date.

Information display apparatus

A system for a financial institution such as a bank has a banking terminals to be operated by clerks, customer's cash banking terminals for transactions with customers, a commanding central section commanding the terminals, and conveyor paths for conveying cash bills from the central section to each terminal and vice versa. The conveyor path is composed of a plurality of conveyor path units and is laid on the original floor of the shop. The conveyor paths are concealed by a covering floor laid thereon, and the terminals are situated on the covering floor. The conveyor paths can be designed and laid freely in the space between the original floor and the covering floor in accordance with the lay-out of the terminals, by suitably selecting the pattern of connection of the units.

At least one automaton for collectively controlling media inclusive of notes in a shop is located in a first corner, at least one automaton operated by customers is located in a second corner and at least one automaton operated by a clerk who is contacting or negotiating with a customer is located in a third corner. The automatons in individual corners are interconnected together by a sheet conveyor for aligning and conveying the media such as notes one by one. The amount of media stored in each automaton in each corner is always supervised and media are conveyed between automatons, as necessary, to effect supplementation/withdrawal of media. Furthermore, sheets are conveyed between opposed magnetic belts.

Group supervisory system for moving sheets between multiple automatons

A sheet dealing apparatus feeds sheets, received within the apparatus, to a user through a sheet delivery portion by an operation of the user or receives the sheets into the sheet dealing apparatus from the user. Also, this operation may be similarly applied to the sheet delivery mode between the sheet dealing apparatus and another sheet dealing apparatus. The sheet delivery portion is contructed so as to be retractable or extensible with respect to a body of the apparatus. A sheet delivery window formed at the delivery portion is variable in position as necessary.

Sheet receiving apparatus, sheet delivery apparatus and automatic

A sheet reversing apparatus comprises a support in which sheets are stacked, an entrance section for guiding the sheet to the support, a blowing mechanism for directing an air stream to a sheet stack on the support to separate a lowermost sheet from remaining sheets, and a feeding mechanism for attracting the sheet to feed it. Further, stopper plates are provided to be pivoted above the support so that it cooperates with the support to pinch and brake the sheet therebetween in a continuous reversing mode wherein the incoming sheet is immediately fed and that it abuts against the incoming sheet by a portion thereof opposing a leading end of the sheet in a stack reversing mode wherein while the sheets are being stacked the lowermost sheet is separated and fed.

Sheet reversing apparatus for individual sheet feeding

A cleaning device capable of cleaning the surface of components, the cleaning device comprising: a cleaning member for cleaning the surface of the component which needs to be prevented from contamination; an arm made of a shape memory alloy and holding the cleaning member and also storing therein a first shape which can cause the cleaning member to be positioned on the surface of the component and a second shape which can cause the cleaning member to be retracted from the surface of the component; and shape transforming arrangement provided for the arm and transforming the shape between the first shape and the second shape.
