Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2293039A] A coin or banknote validator is calibrated to accept items of value by taking successive measurements of items and using them to update acceptability data which defines at least one acceptability criterion for testing. Each measurement is first checked against a suitability criterion, and is only used for updating the acceptability data if the suitability criterion is met. In this way, the acceptability data can be derived without storing all the individual measurements, while still rejecting those measurements which are statistically unsound. The suitability criteria is such that if a measurement differs from the current acceptability data by more than a predetermined amount, the criterion is not met. To avoid problems resulting from the first measurement being unsound, this first measurement is discarded if it does not lie within a predetermined range of the second measurement.
