US Patent:

6397126, May 28, 2002

Filed:

May 2, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/563622

Inventors:

Kim Marie Nelson - Boca Raton FL 33428

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

700236, 700231, 700238

Abstract:

A remote means for payment of purchases made using an automated vending machine. The remote means may include a signal or power to release the goods to the consumer. The remote means may interface with the vending machine using wires or wireless technology. The remote means may further provide a means to communicate to the service party when the vending machine requires servicing, such as when the inventory reaches a predetermined quantity. The remote means may also include the capability to communicate a signal which can modify the price of the goods. The preferred embodiment would be using a remote payment system in conjunction with a newspaper vending machine, as the newspaper vending machines operate using battery power, making power consumption a critical parameter.

Appl. No.:

10/086577

Kim Marie Nelson - Boca Raton FL 33428

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

700236, 700238, 700241

Abstract:

The present invention describes various methods and apparatus to increase efficiency and sales of a Newspaper Rack. Several sensors are positioned throughout the Newspaper Rack to monitor when the remaining inventory reaches a predetermined quantity or is depleted. A logic circuit monitors the sensors and when the sensors change state, a signal is transmitted to a central location. The central location may add time-stamping, reference the location, and compile the information into a database. The central location notifies the proper party to service the Newspaper Rack. The Newspaper Rack can include various mechanisms to stimulate customers into purchasing a Newspaper, such as a visual display or audible means. The stimulating information can be obtained and/or changed using wireless transmission to a receiver. The Newspaper Rack can include external monitoring devices to gather information for traffic flow, weather, or other desirable information.

US Classification:

Abstract:

Apparatus for controlling the flow of traffic through one or more traffic lanes includes a member that attaches to a traffic barrier such as a bar, a gate, or door. Under the control of an actuating element such as a control card, code entry, or manual switch, the member is rotated by an electric motor that drives a reduction gear connected through an adjustable slip clutch to a drive shaft connected to the member. The motor provides variable speed of rotation to the member so that the member will move more slowly at the beginning and end of its movement between open and closed positions of the barrier for safety of operation. The motor function is controlled by a microprocessor or microcontroller. The motor speed control may be by use of a DC motor powered by a current of DC pulses with variable pulse width. Alternatively, motor speed control may be by use of an AC motor with variable AC frequency power.
