    摘要: A dispenser for disc-shaped car-park tickets which makes it possible on a permanent basis for the car-park tickets provided for issuing to be made available reliably, as required, from a supply of car-park tickets, and which is of simple design. The dispenser separates car-park tickets coming from a supply container and moves them, in a pushed group, through a transporting duct which bridges a spatial distance between the supply container and the issuing apparatus. In addition to the spatial distance bridged, a vertical ascent is also surmounted, in order that the car-park tickets can be moved into the issuing apparatus and issued from the same under the action of gravity. Further configurations of the invention can be gathered from the claims and from the following description.

    摘要: Disclosed is an Expected Value Payment Method for the purpose of reducing the expected per unit costs incurred in paying and/or receiving a given amount of a commodity. An Expected Value Payment Method uses a random number supplier to decide bets that can reduce expected per unit costs in two ways. First, expected per unit costs can be reduced for the payer and/or receiver of a commodity by giving the receiver a chance to win a greater amount of the commodity than a given amount, the greater amount having a lower per unit cost than the given amount which was originally to be paid and received. Second, a probabalistic sorting method and system is disclosed allowing businesses to offer customers who bet to win a given amount of a commodity a better expected price for that amount than the price offered to customers paying conventionally. Also disclosed are Expected Value Payment Execution Methods and Systems that make an Expected Value Payment Method practical in the marketplace and methods and systems for preventing cheating in expected value payment bets.

    摘要: A computerized parking system which includes a first camera for reading the license plate of a vehicle entering a parking area, and a second camera for reading the license plate of the vehicle as it leaves the parking area. In each instance, the letters and numbers on the license plate of each vehicle are converted into digital signals. The system responds to the digital signals from the cameras to determine the time of entry and time of exit of the vehicle, and the time vehicle remained in the parking area is then determined. The parking fee due for each vehicle is computed on the basis of a predetermined rate or rates and on the time in which the particular vehicle remained in the parking area. The system then produces a ticket, or a visual display, at a cashier's station at the exit on which the amount to be paid is recorded, and when that amount is paid the cashier opens the gate. In the case of a monthly customer, the gate may be opened automatically as the particular vehicle reaches the exit gate, and the amount due for that vehicle is accumulated within the computer for monthly billing. The system may also be automatic for the daily customer, with a currency machine being provided which opens the exit gate when the proper parking fee has been inserted into the machine.

    摘要: A magnetically selective token system comprises valid tokens which are nonmagnetically responsive in the peripheral portions thereof and responsive in the central portions thereof and a token acceptor which is operative for segregating valid tokens from various types of counterfeit tokens. Unspecified tokens inserted into the acceptor are individually passed to an upper token station where first magnetic elements are operative for magnetically communicating with only the peripheral portions of the tokens so that counterfeit tokens having magnetically responsive peripheral portions are retained at the upper station, whereas other types of unspecified tokens are individually passed to a lower station. Second magnetic elements are operative for magnetically communicating with the central portions of tokens at the lower station so that valid tokens are retained at the lower station, whereas nonmagnetically responsive counterfeit tokens pass to a first outlet slot. The acceptor is operative for removing counterfeit tokens from the upper station and guiding them to the first outlet slot and for removing valid tokens from the lower station and guiding them to a second outlet slot so that they are segregated from the counterfeit tokens. The method of segregating valid tokens from counterfeit tokens includes the steps of exposing only the peripheral portions of unspecified tokens to first magnetic elements to separate out magnetically responsive counterfeit tokens and then exposing the central portions of the remaining token to second magnetic elements to separate out valid tokens.

    摘要: An automatic vehicle classification and ticket issuing system for vehicle toll facilities having a ticket issuing device alongside a discretely identified single lane, single feed entering lane. A detector spaced from the ticket issuing device detects characteristics of the vehicle and based upon these characteristics, a control system classifies the vehicle and has the ticket issuing device issue an appropriate ticket. The control system has a memory capability so that it can store the classifications of a number of successive vehicles and appropriately issue the tickets. Vehicle detection and barrier devices control the flow of traffic to properly space the vehicles for proper operation of the system.

    摘要: A parking fee is automatically computed on the basis of elapsed time between the issuing of a ticket to a customer upon entry to the facility and the surrendering of the ticket by the customer upon departure from the facility. The tickets are in the form of reusable plastic cards embossed with permanent encoded information representative of a specified time interval during a given day. The customer is issued, upon entry to the facility, a ticket bearing information corresponding to his time of entry. A ticket dispenser having an indexable magazine with compartments corresponding to different periods of time throughout the day is sequentially indexed by a clock to issue the proper ticket at the proper time. Upon departure, the ticket is surrendered to a card reader which compares the time of surrender with the issue time encoded upon the card and a fee is displayed based on the computed elapsed time. Cash in the amount due when deposited at a pay station adjacent the card reader opens the exit gate. The cards are embossed with bar coded information which is read by scanning the underside of the card with feeler fingers which engage in the depressions of the underside of the code bars to advance switches to positions which decode the encoded information.

    摘要: An apparatus for automatically recording car count and revenue data for an exit lane of a parking facility. The recorder prints a record of each tour of duty on the exit lanes, including information on the identification number of the employee, totals before and after the tour, all transactions not following the prescribed procedures, the time, and the data. The recorder can also print each individual transaction if desired. Preset amounts to simplify ticket validation are incorporated in the system.
