Abstract: A level switch which may be employed to detect liquid levels within a process vessel
has a self validation capability so that manual testing is not required for proper
operation and switch calibration. The switch has a pair of sensors for measuring the
pressure of the fluid in the vessel at two vertically separated points in the vessel and a
processor for calculating the difference in fluid pressure between the two points for
generating a differential pressure signal. A processor also combines the differential
pressure signal and a static head pressure signal from one of the points to generate a
composite output signal from which an out-of-range condition signal for the fluid level
can be generated based upon a pre-determined change in the composite output
signal.

Abstract: A communication apparatus capable of
measuring levels of carrier signals used in
adjacent zones during telecommunication with a
small circuit scale, and capable of
simultaneously transmitting/receiving to FDMA-system
signals through a plurality of
communication channels. All of transmission
signals received through the communication
channels under use are wholly converted into an
intermediate signal by a mixer. The intermediate
signal is quadrature-detected(24) and then A/D-converted
into digital I/Q-channel signals by
A/D-converters(26, 27). Thereafter, the digital
I/Q-channel signals are frequency-converted by
frequency converting circuits(43, 44) in such a
manner that center frequencies of these I/Q-channel
signals become zero, two sets of I/Q-channel
signals may be demodulated by two sets of
demodulating circuits(28). Otherwise, one of
these I/Q-channel signals is demodulated by a
single demodulating circuit(28), and the other is
level-detected by a level detecting circuit(45).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de surveillance et de stimulation de la mobilité gastro-intestinale. Au moins une capsule (ou marqueur de motilité) peut être ingérée par un patient et passer par la région gastro-intestinale. Chaque capsule peut contenir une bobine émettrice qui produit un champ magnétique CA ou un aimant permanent. On utilise un dispositif détecteur externe comprenant de multiples détecteurs de champ magnétique pour mesurer notamment la position des capsules ingérées dans la région gastro-intestinale. Lorsque des signaux sont acquis par les détecteurs de champ magnétique, un algorithme itératif calcule en continu le moment magnétique et la position de chaque capsule en temps réel. La position de chaque capsule peut être définie par cinq coordonnées (x, y, z, υ,η) représentant trois translations et deux rotations. Cette donnée peut être affichée en temps réel ou sauvegardée pour un traitement ultérieur. Lorsqu'au moins une capsule atteint un segment de la région gastro-intestinale qui a été identifié pour le traitement, la/les capsule(s) peut/peuvent être soumise(s) un champ magnétique externe appliqué par un générateur ou autre dispositif. Le champ magnétique appliqué peut entraîner des mouvements de la capsule par rapport au système nerveux entérique de manière à déclencher les réflexes propulsifs physiologiques naturels de la région gastro-intestinale.

Abstract: A gaming machine (10) for playing a multi-line spinning reel game (16) has a display means
(14) and a game control means arranged to control images of symbols displayed on the display
means. In the game at least one random event, in particular a spin of the reels, is caused to be
displayed on the display means. If a predefined winning event occurs the machine awards a prize.
The player is constrained to wager a single amount on each play of the game and may not vary the
amount. This single wager amount provides eligibility to play all available lines of the game and
eligibility to bonus features. No choice of other wagering options is provided. The midtrim (20)
defines a single start/spin button (22). The gaming machine has two advantages over existing
gaming machines. First of all, it is not necessary to weight the jackpot of the prize for different bet
sizes since all initial bets are the same. Secondly it is possible to tailor the statistics of the game to
the one allowed bet rather than to a large range of bet profiles, thereby directly appealing to the
target player.
