Patent GB-2328060-A (GB)
Title: Coin dispensing apparatus
Inventor: DAVIES ADRIAN FRANCIS
IPC: G07F5/24
Filed: 1998-08-03
Abstract: A coin dispensing apparatus for a gaming or amusement with prizes machine has a single hopper 1 into which coins of various denominations are fed via the coin slot mechanism 2. When a win occurs, the coins are released sequentially, regardless of denomination, and pass through an identifier 6 which enables a control unit 4 to keep track of the value of the coins. If towards the end of the payout high denomination coins arrive which would exceed the prize, a diverter 7 is actuated and returns coins to the hopper 1 and only coins that make up the correct prize value pass to the collection pocket 8. For large payouts, small value coins may be diverted back to the hopper until towards the end of the prize payout. A coin identifier 10 at the inlet to the hopper 1 allows its contents to be continually monitored, whereby a minimum number of each denomination of coin may be maintained by use of the diverter 7. If the hopper 1 contains its maximum number of coins, a further coin diverter 11 directs excess coins to a reserve receptacle 12.

Title: Company information delivery system and method including restriction processing
Inventor: ZUCKNOVICH STEPHEN M
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-10-08
Abstract: The electronic distribution of research documents over the world wide web or other network to investors. A repository server receives research documents from contributors. A restriction subsystem server is selectively coupled to the contributor workstation. The restriction subsystem server manages and stores "restriction" and "review" information of companies, relative to contributors. A contributor identifies (via electronic communication or otherwise) to the restriction subsystem server a "restriction" and/or "review" status of a company relative to the contributor. A particular company may be identified as "RESTRICTED" if the contributor has a current banking or financial interest in the company. Additionally, a company may be identified as "UNDER REVIEW* if the contributor believes its opinion about the company may change based on a news event. Moreover, a company may be identified as "UNDER EXTENDED REVIEW," if, for example, the contributor is not presently "covering" that company. Each time the repository server is queried for a list of reports or documents (i.e., document titles or headlines), the repository server determines whether to provide a particular title to the viewer workstation (via a viewer server or web server) to the user based on the restriction status of the contributor of the document relative to the restriction status of the company or companies associated with the document.

Title: Cavity down ball grid array module
Inventor: BASSI LUIGI
IPC: H01L21/58
Filed: 1998-12-09
Abstract: A Plastic Ball Grid Array electronic package of the Cavity Down type particulary for use in high-frequency applications. In these packages the substrate has a cavity for receiving an active device (chip), which is usually attached to the substrate by means of the layer of glue. Due to the small dimensions of the chip and the gap between the chip and the cavity walls, it is extremely difficult to control the right quantity of glue in the dispensing operations. When the chip is pressed against the bottom of the cavity the glue may overflow and damage the circuits. According to the present invention, a secondary cavity is created inside the primary one and acts as a reservoir for the glue in excess.

Title: Synchronized seismic signal acquisition method and device
Inventor: BUI-TRAN VAN
IPC: G01V1/22
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: Method and device intended for synchronized acquisition of seismic signals by one or more acquisition units suited for seismic signal digitizing, allowing to obtain, for each signal, a series y[n] of samples of these signals readjusted from a reference time on, from a first series x[n] of digitized samples of this seismic signal produced from any initial time prior to the reference time. The method essentially comprises detecting a synchronization signal indicative of this reference time (T<SB>R</SB>), measuring the effective time difference (D) between the reference time and the initial time, determining coefficients of a digital filter (F) suited to compensate for the fractional part (d) of the measured effective time difference, and applying this compensation digital filter to the first series of samples, which allows to obtain a series of digitized samples readjusted from the reference time. In order to accelerate determination of the filter coefficients depending on the difference D observed, the coefficients of a certain number of intermediate filters corresponding to determined fractions of the sampling interval are preferably precalculated. The method can be applied for seismic prospecting or monitoring, earthquake detection, etc.

Title: Method for reducing emissions during cold starts of an internal combustion engine

Filed: 1992-06-10
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB92/01035 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 10, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 10, 1993 PCT Filed Jun. 10, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/22734 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 23, 1992.A method is described for reducing the total emissions during cold starts from an engine burning a hydrocarbon fuel and having an afterburner arranged upstream of a catalytic converter. The method comprises the steps of: (i) adding an excess of fuel to the engine combustible charge and adding air to the engine exhaust gases immediately after the engine has first fired to assure the presence in the exhaust/air mixture of sufficient concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen to permit the resulting exhaust/air mixture to be ignitable and to burn with a steady flame in the afterburner while the latter is at a temperature close to the ambient temperature, and (ii) igniting the exhaust/air mixture in the afterburner immediately after the engine has first fired. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the excess fuel and/or the additional air are regulated after ignition has occurred in the afterburner to maintain a steady flame in the afterburner until at least part of the matrix of the catalytic converter has reached its light off temperature.

Title: Anti-plaque dentifrice packaged in resilient squeezable dispensing container
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 1991-06-24
Abstract: A dental composition, such as a paste or gel dentifrice containing triclosan, as an antibacterial agent which acts to decrease plaque on the teeth, is packaged in a hand holdable and squeezable dispensing container which is made of or includes a part or parts of a solid polymeric material, such as a polyfluoroethylene or polyvinyl chloride, which is compatible with triclosan, so that excessive loss of its anti-plaque activity on storage is avoided, which losses have been noted when various other plastics have been employed as dispensing container component materials.
