Title: Friction hinge
Inventor: CHEN TI-YUAN
IPC: E05D15/28
Filed: 2013-04-09
Abstract: A friction hinge includes a main unit 10 and a micro-adjustment unit 20. The main unit includes a fixed track 11 and a linkage 13 with a support arm 14 connected with a window pane 40 with a connecting portion 141. The micro-adjustment unit includes a cover plate 22, and a contact member 21 is located between the cover plate and connecting portion. The contact member has a rotation portion 211, located either within the cover plate or the connection portion, and a driving post 212 which is located at an eccentric position on the rotation portion (i.e. a cam). Screws are located in elongate slots on the cover plate and/or connection portion allow them to slide relative to each other when the driving post is rotated. The micro-adjustment unit therefore adjusts the position of the window pane relative to the window frame to prevent it fouling on the frame when closed. Two variations are disclosed (compare Figs. 6 and 9).

Title: Random switching game engine for wagering games
Inventor: PALEXAS PANAYIS NICOLA
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2011-09-21
Abstract: A random switching game engine (100) for wagering games provides the advantage of switching between game engines (304) in response to a triggering event. The switch engine controls, which game engine (408) will present a wagering game to the player. The different game engines may have different odds for presenting a winning outcome to a player. After a triggering event has occurred, the switch game engine (304) may utilize a random number generator (220A) to randomly determine whether a switch between game engines should occur. A switch game engine (304) may perform the switch by activating one of multiple game engines (408). The wagering game may be presented according to the same rules, but with different odds of receiving a winning outcome, to prevent a player from noticing that a switch between game engines has occurred, or different games may be presented.

Title: Mapping cells to symbols
Inventor: MOUHOUCHE BELKACEM
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2013-06-12
Abstract: A method of mapping cells onto multi-carrier symbols (e.g. OFDM symbols) is provided, the cells comprising two or more cells that have undergone pre-coding in groups e.g. pairs. The method comprises the steps of mapping each cell to a carrier of a symbol and frequency interleaving the carriers of each symbol such that pre-coded cells are mapped to carriers having the same carrier frequency or to carriers having frequencies differing by no more than a threshold. The invention allows the benefits of zig-zag mapping to be retained for systems that apply mapping and frequency interleaving after pre-coding, e.g. Digital Video Broadcasting Next Generation Handheld (DVB-NGH). In one embodiment pre-coded cells are mapped to carriers within a block and the frequency interleaving performed on blocks of carriers 403. In another embodiment a group of pre-coded cells are mapped to carriers belonging to a set of symbols that are frequency interleaved using the same permutation pattern.
