Abstract

A device for separating sheet material has an actuator and a sheet material holder coupled thereto. The actuator is designed for moving the sheet material holder. The sheet material holder is designed for receiving an individual sheet material piece from a sheet material stack in which the sheet material pieces are arranged in a layered manner one above another along a vertical direction. The actuator is designed to set the sheet material holder into an oscillating rotational movement about a rotation axis that lies substantially parallel to the vertical direction, in order to receive the individual sheet material piece from the sheet material stack.

Abstract

Point-of-sale (POS) terminal for entering a PIN to enable a financial transaction, comprising: a processor for running an operating system, with applications; a touch screen for displaying information and receiving user inputs and also to receive the secure information from the user; a Security-Box being connected between the touch screen and the processor, to control the user input on the touch screen to the processor, wherein the Security-Box is being configured to run in two modes "Secure Mode" and "Clear Text Mode", wherein when running in "Secure Mode" the user input is not forwarded as touch coordinates to the processor and when running in "Clear Text Mode" the touch coordinates are transmitted to the processors; wherein the user-terminal is configured to run at least two types of applications displaying information on the touch screen and allowing an interaction with the user, the first of the applications is interacting with the Security-Box to perform security relevant financial transactions; and the other application, Add-on applications, interacting in "Clear Text Mode" with the touch screen, wherein the application interacting with the Security-Box and switching the Security-Box into "Secure Mode" needs to be authenticated with the Security Box using a cryptographic method with one or more security keys.

Abstract

Disclosed is a coin separation device (1), comprising a conveying device (2) for conveying coins (M) from an inlet container (40) in a conveying direction (F) along a conveying line (200) and a monitoring device (26), which is arranged on the conveying line (200) in order to detect a coin (M) being conveyed along the conveying line (200). Further provided is an acceleration device (29), which is designed to accelerate a coin (M), which is being conveyed along the conveying line (200) and which has been detected by the monitoring device (26), in the conveying direction (F) such that the coin (M) is conveyed from the conveying line (200) into a coin collection device (3). A coin separation device is thus produced, which reliably conveys coins only, and not other objects, from the conveying line into a coin collection device.

Abstract

The invention relates to a checkout-system arrangement (10, 100), having an item-acquisition device (12) for acquiring selected items which comprises a scanner (18, 20, 22) for acquiring the items and a first conveyor belt (28) for conveying the items placed on the first conveyor belt (28). Furthermore, a packing device (16) is provided which comprises at least two item-receiving units (32 to 42), which are separate from one another, for receiving the scanned items and for making the items available. Between the first conveyor belt (28) and the packing device (16), a conveying device (14, 114) is provided which comprises a second conveyor belt (30, 130) by means of which, after conveying (28) by means of the first conveyor belt, the scanned items are conveyable to the item-receiving units (32 to 42) of the packing device (16).
