Provided is an article conveyance processing system in which article(s) are efficiently taken out from a mobile cart and/or article(s) are placed on a mobile cart even when various types of mobile carts are used. Using the cart coordinate system obtained such that the horizontal, vertical and depth axes of the cart coordinate system substantially coincide with the horizontal, vertical and depth directions of the mobile cart, respectively, the article conveyance processing system performs the control of moving the robot hand and the attitude control of the robot hand; thus, the article conveyance processing system can efficiently take out an article from a mobile cart and/or place an article on a mobile cart regardless of in what orientation a wide variety of mobile carts are placed.

Article conveyance processing system

Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for automatic handling of bank notes, gambling tickets, bills, or other types of paper notes. The disclosed devices, systems, and methods are directed to, or include, various robot arms, which may be articulated, that are configured to open a bill storage container, remove a bundle of bills, load the bundle on a bill conveying device, and load the bundle of bills in a bill storage case. The systems include one or more control devices to control the operations of the components that move the bill bundle.

Automatic bill handling system

A banknote handling system includes an unlocking system. The unlocking system includes a camera, a first mechanical arm to which one or a plurality of keys are affixed, and a controller that determines a position of a keyhole based on an image from the camera, and controls the first arm to insert one of the one or the plurality of keys into the keyhole and turn the inserted key for unlocking. In many examples, the unlocking system is configured to unlock a banknote cashbox.

A DC-DC converter includes first and second switching devices electrically connected in series between an input terminal and a ground terminal, third and fourth switching devices electrically connected in series between an output terminal and the ground terminal, an inductor, a drive circuit that drives the first switching device to turn on and off, a bootstrap capacitor circuit connected electrically to the drive circuit, and a control circuit. The control circuit is operable to turn on and off the switching devices serially connected with each other after a simultaneous-off duration for which both of the switching devices are continuously turned off. The control circuit is operable to charge the bootstrap capacitor by continuously turning on keeping the second switching device for a charging duration while continuously turning off the first switching device for a sustaining duration determined by the simultaneous-off duration and the charging duration. This DC-DC converter can reduce a current ripple even when the bootstrap capacitor is charged.

DC-DC converter

A DC-DC converter includes a switching device, a drive circuit for turning on and off the switching device, a bootstrap capacitor electrically connected to the drive circuit, and a control circuit electrically connected to the drive circuit. The control circuit is operable to charge the bootstrap capacitor for a charging duration periodically at a charging period longer than an on-off period at which the switching device is turned on and off periodically. This DC-DC converter performs efficient boost and step-down operations.
