An alarm screen comprises a frame comprising a laser sensor, a processing unit, and a wireless transmitter embedded in a hollow interior. The frame comprises an opening for the laser sensor to project a laser beam outside of the alarm screen. The laser sensor projects the beam through the opening, makes a set of one or more measurements of a distance between the laser sensor and an object in a path of the laser beam, and sends the set of measurements to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to compare the distance measurements received from the laser sensor with a threshold distance detect, and send one or more signals to the wireless transmitter when at least one of the distance measurements received from the laser sensor exceeds the threshold. The wireless transmitter is configured to receive signals from the processing unit and wirelessly transmit the signals.

Alarm screen with embedded wireless transmitter

An alarm screen is provided that comprises a frame comprising a hollow interior. The alarm screen comprises a mesh attached to the frame and a detection wire for carrying electric current, where at least a portion of the detection wire is woven through or overlaid on the mesh. The alarm screen comprises an antenna and at least one circuit board embedded in the hollow interior of the frame. The circuit board comprises a processing unit and a wireless transmitter communicatively coupled to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to detect that no current is carried through the detection wire and to send a signal to the wireless transmitter. The wireless transmitter is configured to receive signals from the processing unit and wirelessly transmit the signals received from the processing unit through the antenna.

Apparatus and method of verification of credit cards, including sensing information thereon and comparing said information with information on a specially designed pre-printed carrier, followed by insertion of one or more cards in the matching carrier as required, folding and stacking card-inserted carriers in a manner ready for subsequent insertion into mailing envelopes. Sensing, input, comparison logic, and timed command circuitry for coordination of operation includes a pause mode of card advance and may optionally include a multiple card search mode to find matching cards when card sequence is improper.

Verifying insertion system and apparatus

Verifying insertion system apparatus and method of operation

This disclosure deals with a system for monitoring the rate of operation of a cyclically operating machine or process or the rate of cyclically recurring events. The system monitors the rate by sensing each cycle occurring during a sampling time interval or duration and generating a signal which is taken as a standard value representing a standard rate. Either the length of time required for a specific number of events is measured, or the number of events occurring in a specified time is measured. The measured value is compared with the standard value and an indication is made of the comparison.

Monitoring system

Single-sheet, multi-panel carriers for receiving and retaining credit cards during credit card issue and mailing procedures. Cards may be inserted in the carriers manually or by machine. Plural carrier forms are preferably provided in a continuous fan-folded web, and individual carriers are separable therefrom at perforations between subsequent and/or adjacent carriers. The carriers have special slits or slots for retaining one to four cards singly, or double that in a piggy-back manner, in vertical or horizontal configurations. Carriers also have a plurality of panels which assist in retaining the cards by wedge trapping during manual or machine issue processing (inserting, collating, verification and stuffing) and mailing operations. Carriers also carry verification and/or identification information thereon relating to the account, e.g., name, number of cards, account(s) number(s), credit limit, address, debit usage criteria, and the like, in one or more forms which may be read visually, electro-optically, mechanically, optically, electromechanically, magnetically and/or electronically. Carriers are specially adapted for production by sheet-fed glued, or roll-to-fold, high-speed web printing procedures. Imprinting of verification and/or identification indicia may be done by any impact or non-impact procedures, e.g., by drum, line, or computer-controlled, non-impact, spray-type printers.
