Flexible, resilient, polyurethane foam having improved flame retardancy and intumescent properties is prepared from the reaction of polyether polyol with organic isocyanate and an additive combination comprising: (i) a polyester polyol, (ii) an halogenated flame retardant, and (iii) water or alcohol soluble urea-formaldehyde resin.

An Automatic Teller Machine is adapted to block the acceptance of foreign objects. A blocking member is misaligned with an entrance slot except when sensors signal the presence of an object which meets established criteria. In the presence of the signals, the blocking member is moved into alignment with the slot permitting passage of the conforming objects.

An information handling apparatus comprises a memory storing a group of instructions. A memory location is designated where the instruction is to be read out of the memory. After a predetermined instruction has been read out, a signal is generated for inhibiting an execution of at least one subsequently scheduled instruction. After a short period of time, an address for a next new instruction is p...
