Title: Method of extracting ethane from liquefied natural gas
Inventor: BRIMM ALLEN E
IPC: F25J3/00
Filed: 2005-08-17
Abstract: Methods and systems for recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL) and a pressurized methane-rich sales gas from liquefied natural gas (LNG) are disclosed. In certain embodiments, LNG passes through a heat exchanger, thereby heating and vaporizing at least a portion of the LNG. The partially vaporized LNG passes to a fractionation column where a liquid stream enriched with ethane plus and a methane-rich vapor stream are withdrawn. The withdrawn methane-rich vapor stream passes through the heat exchanger to condense the vapor and produce a two phase stream, which is separated in a separator into at least a methane-rich liquid portion and a methane-rich gas portion. A pump pressurizes the methane-rich liquid portion prior to vaporization and delivery to a pipeline. The methane-rich gas portion may be compressed and combined with the vaporized methane-rich liquid portion or used as plant site fuel.

Title: Poker video game terminal
Inventor: GUTERRES PETER A
IPC: A63F13/80
Filed: 2007-03-14
Abstract: A method of playing a poker game using a video game terminal includes one player using the video game terminal and three or more terminal generated and controlled players to play against. Each player has a starting point value used for play and scoring in the poker game. The poker game includes a series of elimination rounds where each elimination round comprises two or more hands and eliminating the player with the lowest score at the end of an elimination round. Each hand in an elimination round includes two down cards provided to each player and five common cards provided face up for use by all players in combination with their respective two down cards for forming of the best five card poker hand and thereby determining a winner of a "win" pool associated with the hand. Each hand in an elimination round includes one or more player wagering steps where players wager points from their starting points with said wagered points accumulating in the "win"  pool or a player withdrawing from the hand. The game terminal for each hand initially provides two down cards for each player and three face up cards of said five common cards followed by a wagering step and a wagering step follows the fifth card. After each round, the player with the lowest score is eliminated. This poker game method is relatively fast to play and involves similar strategy and expertise used in traditional poker games. The method also has an interconnected terminal mode allowing direct competition between players having a connected terminal.

Title: Pressure container with differential vacuum panels
Inventor: HOWELL JUSTIN A
IPC: B65D1/02
Filed: 2005-09-30
Abstract: An improved blow molded plastic container having generally rounded sidewalls that are adapted for hot-fill applications has two adjacent sides and two pairs of controlled deflection panels, each pair reacting to vacuum pressure at differing rates of movement, whereby one pair inverts under vacuum pressure and the other pair remains available for increased squeezability or extreme vacuum extraction. The opposing sidewalls are symmetric relative to vacuum panel and rib shape and placement. The ribs and controlled deflection panels cooperate to retain container shape upon filling and cooling and also improves bumper denting resistance, decreases vacuum pressure within the container, and increases light weight capability.
Patent CA-2582750-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIAU DANIEL
IPC: A47K13/26
Filed: 2007-03-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a removable bolt assembly for fastening a toilet seat to a commode using a knob or bar handle. The knob or bar handle, pivotally mounted to the bolt, can be used to twist or clamp the bolt into engagement with a nut that is inserted through a hole in the toilet. The hole in the toilet can be circular or noncircular. Where the hole is noncircular, the nut has a corresponding noncircular geometric neck so as to prevent it from rotating in the hole. Where the hole is circular, a fastening hinge having a connecting insert can be used to prevent rotation of the nut when it is engaged with the connecting insert. In this way the bolt is directly interlocked with the nut without the use of any tool, thereby making it easy to lock and fasten the seat to the commode.
