Abstract: An interactive word clue puzzle based game in which a player either shifts positions of rows or columns of alphabet tiles (left and right or up and down) in a two-dimensional surface, or rotates concentric blocks carrying alphabets in a three-dimensional geometry, to find word clues formed by grouping adjacent alphabets in a combination of horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions. Word clues could be words, names, phases or quotes. The game could be realized on paper, on board, with geometrical models, or in electronic and computerized game simulation formats.    Complexity of the game could be enhanced by shifting positions of blocks of alphabet tiles overlapping a 2D background of alphabets, by toggling individual alphabet tiles between multiple states, or by increasing the dimensions of the grid surface to solve for word clues. Alphabets used in the game are not restricted to English only and are applicable to any other language letters, symbols or characters.

Title: Apparatus and method for controlled depth of injection into myocardial tissue
Inventor: SABBAH HANI N
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2009-04-10
Abstract: An injector (10) for delivering an injectate into the myocardium of the heart may be implemented as a catheter (20) or a handheld unit. The injector includes a body, a stabilizer (30) secured to a distal end of the body, and a needle (60) that may be controllably advanced from the distal end of the body. The stabilizer stabilizes the distal end of the body relative to the myocardium while the heart beats. An enlarged region disposed along the needle prevents the needle from being advanced into the myocardium beyond a desired penetration depth. To make an injection, the physician brings the distal end of the body in proximity to the myocardium, actuates the stabilizer to stabilize the distal end relative to the myocardium, and advances the needle into the myocardium. Advancement of the needle is impeded by the enlarged region, thereby placing the needle tip at the desired penetration depth for the injection.
