Abstract
A thickness sensor assembly () for a self-service terminal (SST) arranged to dispense media from at least one media cassette. The sensor assembly comprises a platform () and a resonant circuit () mounted on the platform () and resiliently biased towards a rest position, the sensor assembly () being arranged such that the displacement of the resonant circuit () can be detected by an SST in which the platform () is mounted. In use, the platform () is mounted in an SST adjacent to a feed path () of media being dispensed thereby such that media moving along the feed path () displaces the resonant circuit (). Such a sensor assembly () can be used to detect, for example, when two media sheets have been picked up instead of one.
