Title: Electrical circuit suspension system
Inventor: MILLER PAUL J
IPC: H05K3/28
Filed: 1996-01-04
Abstract: A device and method wherein electrical components are mechanically suspended and electrically interconnected in an insulative elastomeric body, such as silicone, thereby eliminating the need for a circuit board or other circuit substrate.

Patent AU-5381496-A (AU)
Title: Rotating fiber optic coupler for high power laser welding ap plications
Inventor: FINDLAN SHANE J
IPC: B23K26/00
Filed: 1996-03-27
Abstract: A laser welding apparatus for clad welding the interior surface of a tube includes a rotating sleeve that encloses a fiber optic cable. A stationary laser generates light energy for the welding operations performed by the rotating sleeve. An optical coupler is positioned between the stationary laser and the rotating sleeve. A fixed optical assembly of the optical coupler receives light energy from the stationary laser and produces collimated and focused light energy. A rotating cable interface assembly of the optical coupler receives the collimated and focused light energy from the fixed optical assembly and applies it to the fiber optic cable of the rotating sleeve, which delivers the light energy to the interior surface of a tube so that it may be used to produce a clad weld. The fixed optical assembly includes axial and concentric alignment devices. The rotating cable interface assembly includes concentric alignment means and a monitoring cavity to provide optical feedback regarding the alignment between the fixed optical assembly and the rotating cable interface assembly. The rotating cable interface assembly may be constructed to include a safety fiber optic with an accompanying safety fiber optic photocell which is used to assess whether excessive light energy from the laser is being used.

Title: Method and apparatus for secure data storage and manipulatio n using magnetic media
Inventor: INDECK RONALD S
IPC: G11B20/24
Filed: 1996-04-01
Abstract: Data recorded on a magnetic medium may be securely identified and manipulated for use in credit balance applications by determining a magnetic fingerprint benchmark on the medium as well as a distance between this benchmark and any pre-selected magnetic feature such as a magnetic transition of a data bit of the data set. Verification of the data may be achieved by measuring this distance and comparing it with the distance recorded at the time that the data was originally placed on the medium. As there is a detectable difference in accuracy between reading this distance as contrasted with illegitimate attempts to write false data at a pre-selected distance from the benchmark, attempts at forgery are detectable.

Title: Electronic casino gaming system with improved play capacity, authentication and security
Inventor: ALCORN ALLAN E
IPC: G06Q50/34
Filed: 1996-06-17
Abstract: Authentication of a casino game data set is carried out within the casino game console using an authentication program stored in an unalterable ROM physically located within the casino game console. The casino game data set and a unique signature are stored in a mass storage device, which may comprise a read only unit or a read/write unit and which may be physically located either within the casino game console or remotely located and linked to the casino game console over a suitable network. The authentication program stored in the unalterable ROM performs an authentication check on the casino game data set at appropriate times, such as prior to commencement of game play, at periodic intervals or upon demand. At appropriate occasions, the contents of the unalterable ROM can be verified by computing the message digest of the unalterable ROM contents and comparing this computed message digest with a securely stored copy of the message digest computed from the ROM contents prior to installation in the casino game console.

Title: Methods for production of recombinant plasmids
Inventor: MORSEY MOHAMAD A
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1996-10-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a culture system for stable and high-level production of DNA contained on recombinant plasmids, and to the bacteria and plasmids which comprise the culture system. The bacterial cell chromosome is irreversibly altered, in one embodiment, so as to produce a substance toxic to the bacterium; in a second embodiment so as to render the cells unable to synthesize and assimilate an essential metabolite, and, in a third embodiment, to be incapable of producing a required intracellular protein that does not lead to a secreted product. In every case, the recombinant plasmid includes genetic material which functionally complements the chromosomal alteration. If the DNA on the plasmid is to be used in therapeutic applications or for administration to eukaryotes, the genetic material will have no functional or structural equivalent in eukaryotic cells, and will not result in production of mRNA or a polypeptide that acts on any eukaryotic cell component. Any peptide produced is, desirably, not toxic to the bacterial cells.
