Title: Crane game machine
Inventor: OKADA KAZUO
IPC: G07F17/34
Filed: 1988-05-17
Granted: 1991-09-19
Abstract: A crane game machine which comprises a premium article placing face (3) for putting a large number of premium articles (4) thereon, a crane (5) having a plurality of hooks (6) for grasping a premium article (4), a driving mechanism (60) for setting the crane (5) to a position on the premium article placing face (3) and for making the crane hooks (6) grasp a premium article (4) in response to a starting operation by an operator, and a grasping force changing means (70) for changing premium article grasping force of the crane hooks (6). It is difficult to gain the premium article when the premium article grasping force is adjusted to relatively small while it is easy to gain the premium article when the premium article grasping force is adjusted to relatively large. Thus, the probability of gaining the premium article can be regulated in a recreation hall or the like where the game machine is handled.
Patent AU-654711-B2 (AU)
Title: Ergometric device
Inventor: TKATCHOUK ELENA N
IPC: A63B23/18
Filed: 1992-05-29
Granted: 1994-11-17
Abstract: Apparatus for producing a hypoxic gas mixture having a higher nitrogen-to-oxygen ratio than atmospheric air has a diaphragm compressor feeding air under pressure to an oxygen-depleting unit having a perforate tube extending axially of a cylindrical chamber having an outlet in one side. The annular space between the perforate tube and the wall of the chamber is filled with axially extending hollow fibers of poly-4-methyl-penthene-1. Ends of the chamber are closed except for the interiors of the hollow fibers which are open to the atmosphere. The walls of the hollow fibers are more permeable to oxygen than to nitrogen so that part of the oxygen escapes through open ends of the hollow fibers, thereby increasing the nitrogen-to-oxygen content of the gas.

Title: Method and apparatus for decoding reed-solomon code
Inventor: SHIROTA NORIHISA
IPC: H03M13/15
Filed: 1988-06-17
Granted: 1991-06-13
Abstract: A decoding method of Reed-Solomon code produces an error polynomial (x) and an error evaluation polynomial  (x) by a Euclidean algorithm, whereby a syndrome polynomial S(x) is obtained, the highest degrees of the syndrome polynomial S(x) and of an initial polynomial x<2t>, which is determined by the number t of symbols to be corrected, are multiplied, while the degree is incrementally reduced, thereby obtaining polynomials h(x) and g(x) that satisfy the relation:      f(x) B(x) + g(x) S(x) = h(x) (where the degree of h(x) is less than the degree of g(x)</= t). The polynomial g(x) is set to the error position polynomial  (x), and the polynomial H(x) is set to the error evaluation polynomial  (x), thereby performing the decoding by real time processing.

Title: Structure and method for super FET mixer having logic-gate generated FET square-wave switching signal
Inventor: VICE MICHAEL WENDELL
IPC: H03D7/12
Filed: 1999-01-29
Granted: 2003-02-27
Abstract: A mixing method and mixer structure provide a circuit topology suitable for use in radio receivers, transmitters, tuners, instrumentation systems, telemetry systems, and other systems and devices performing frequency conversion in either homodyne or heterodyne implementations. The inventive mixer may be used for wireless communication devices including radios, cellular telephones, and telemetry systems whether land, sea, airborne, or space based, and whether fixed or mobile. The mixer provides superior intermodulation and harmonic distortion suppression and features excellent conversion loss, noise figure, port match, and port isolation as a result of its circuit topology. The mixer device circuit combines the advantages of series mixing FETs, a triple balanced design using a balanced passive reflection transformer, a precise local oscillator phase splitter, and square wave gate drive having high slew rate signal characteristics to achieve high levels of performance. It is power conservative and offers the advantage of long battery life in portable devices such as portable radios and cellular telephones as it requires only a modest amount of DC and local oscillator drive power, and is useful for operation over at least a multi-decade bandwidth.

Title: Air separation
Inventor: DUNN GRAEME JOHN
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1989-11-27
Granted: 1992-11-05
Abstract: In order to provide 'ultra high purity' nitrogen having diminished concentrations of light and heavy impurities in comparison with nitrogen produced by conventional cryogenic air separation, the nitrogen product from a conventional cryogenic air separation column is introduced into the bottom of a liquid-vapour contract column 2 fitted with a condenser 8 to provide reflux. A liquid nitrogen stream having a reduced concentration of heavy impurities is withdrawn from the column 2 through an outlet 22 situated at a level a few trays below the top tray in the column 2. The liquid nitrogen is then subjected to two stages of flash separation. In the first stage the liquid is passed through valve 24 into a phase separator 26. In the second stage, the resulting liquid from the first stage, having a reduced concentration of light impurities, is passed through valve 32 into a phase separator 34. Liquid nitrogen product is withdrawn from the phase separator 34 through outlet 38.
