A card actuated automated banking machine is operative to carry out financial transactions responsive to data included on user cards. The modulator generates the modulated signal so that a center value of an amplitude of the modulated signal follows a change of the manipulated variable. The phase shift mask can be used to fabricate semiconductor integrated circuits to a smaller minimum feature size and a higher level of integration. The gating of digital samples into each of the signal registers is controlled by a separate clock timing. A discharge device for manually producing a volume flow by a discharge stroke, having a medium reservoir for at least one medium, a discharge opening, a pumping device and a working area associated with the pumping device and which in the inoperative position has a detachable, positive connection to a holding area by means of a locking device is known.
