Patent CA-2316914-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MURANO ADAM
IPC: B32B27/08
Filed: 1998-12-29
Abstract: A metallized composite (10) includes a thermoplastic sheet (12) and at least one discontinuous layer (14) of metal within the thermoplastic sheet. The discontinuous metal layer can be disposed between two thermoplastic layers that are bound together, such as by melting the layers together, pressing, or by use of an adhesive (22).

Title: Signal enhancement for fluorescence microscopy
Inventor: WHITE JOHN G
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: Multi-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy is carried out by focusing an excitation beam (12) by an objective lens (20) onto a specimen (22) and collecting the multi-photon fluorescence light emitted from the specimen (22) to the objective lens (20) and directing the fluorescent light on an optical path to a detector (35). Fluorescent light emissions from the specimen (22) collected by a condenser lens (25) on the opposite side of the specimen from the objective lens (20) are directed to a dichoic mirror (30), which reflects the light photons back into the condenser lens (25) and thence into and through the objective lens (20) where they are directed on an optical path to the detector (35). Significantly increased fluorescent photon collection efficiency is obtained as well as improved image intensity of the detected fluorescent light.

Inventor: MEILKE GERD RUDOLF
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 1999-02-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a support and storage material for plants and their active ingredients, wherein the support and storage material is made of rubber powder from used tyres, conveyor belts or similar base materials, the powder being used as such or in combination with textile fibres. According to the method of the present invention, the material obtained from used tyres is mixed with the whole plant and the support material absorbs the plant, after which the mixture thus obtained is dried or pressed and dried in moulds so that it can be stored for extended time periods without any loss in the active ingredients or any degradation of the material.  This invention also relates to the use of this material as a cosmetic agent as well as to its use in therapeutic, hobby, house-hold and sport applications.  To this end, the dried support material is simply mixed with a liquid in an amount, at a temperature and for a time interval depending on the application.

IPC: B65D33/00
Filed: 2001-08-01
Abstract: A pack of self-opening serially-arranged plastic bags of the "star-seal" type defining eight superimposed wall layers in the bag. Mounting tabs form a part of top portions of each of the eight layers and are positioned in superimposed positions and each includes an aperture for mounting the tabs on a tab retaining device of a rack in a non-front-side-free manner. Each of the tabs includes means for rendering the tab detachable and providing a predetermined detaching strength. In one embodiment, each of the tabs are detachable from the rack and in another embodiment, each of the tabs are detachable from the bag. A frangible bond is formed between the rear layer and the front layer of each successive bag in the pack. This frangible bond has a predetermined strength (1) which is greater than the predetermined detaching strength of two of the tabs and (2) is weaker than the predetermined detaching strength of the remaining six tabs to allow the leading bag of the pack (when pulled by a user for removal) to disengage from the pack, while (before disengagement) pulling the succeeding bag in the pack to cause detaching of the two leading of the tabs for self-opening of the succeeding bag.

Patent CA-2358912-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANG DICK
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 1999-11-12
Abstract: A method is disclosed which reduces wavelength ripple in a fiber optic gyroscope by suppressing, as well as reducing the effects of, whispering gallery modes generated by the gyroscope light source. The method functions to increase the radius of bends in existing curved sections of optical fiber used in the light source for a fiber optic gyroscope. This increase in bend radius effectively reduces the amount of core-to-clad-to-core reflected light, which in turn reduces the extent to which whispering gallery modes are generated, thereby reducing a source of wavelength ripple. Reduction of wavelength ripple is also accomplished in the present invention by using a band rejection filter to attenuate one of the bimodal spectral components generated by the gyroscope light source.

Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring casinos and gaming
Inventor: HUIZINGA RICHARD
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: A system automatically monitors playing and wagering of a game, including the gaming habits of players and the performance of employees. A card deck reader automatically reads a symbol from each card in a deck of cards before a first one of the cards is removed. The symbol identifies a respective rank and suit of the card. A chip tray reader automatically images the contents of a chip tray, to periodically determine the number and value of chips in the chip tray, and to compare the change in contents of the chip tray to the outcome of game play for verifying that the proper amounts have been paid out and collected. A table monitor automatically images the activity occurring at a gaming table.  Periodic comparison of the images identify wagering, as well as the appearance, removal and position of cards and other game objects on the gaming table. A drop box automatically verifies an amount and authenticity of a deposit and reconciles the deposit with a change in the contents of the chip tray. The drop box employs a variety of lighting and resolutions to image selected portions of the deposited item. The system detects prohibited playing and wagering patterns, and determines the win/loss percentage of the players and the dealer, as well as a number of other statistically relevant measures. The measurements provide automated security and real-time accounting. The measurements also provide a basis for automatically allocating complimentary player benefits.
