Patent EP-0948376-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KAYE PERRY SCOTT
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 1997-10-21
Abstract: A method and system for playing a lottery type game includes a gaming piece which includes a predetermined code having data indicating whether the player wins or loses the game, the data being unrecognizable to the player, such that the player does not know the outcome of the game prior to play of the game. The code is stored on the gaming piece in a memory device. The gaming piece is reusable with different codes. The code is read by a processor. The processor presents an amusement game on a display for play by the player, and the player controls game play by inputting game parameters to the processor. The processor controls the outcome of the amusement game played by the player based upon the code. A display provides an indication to the player of a game win or a game loss based upon the code.

Abstract: The invention concerns an EEG based activation system that may be used to turn an appliance ON or OFF. EEG signals have been used for control purposes using biofeedback methods. However, the drawbacks of this are the learning time required by a subject which may take days or months. The present invention provides a simplified EEG based system for activation of an appliance. The system has an input port to receive electrical signals from scalp electrodes (2, 3), an amplifier (5) to amplify the signals, a bandpass filter (6) to filter the signals and a signal averager (8) to smooth out the signals. Furthermore, the signal averager integrates any received signal in the passband of the filter and provides a ramping output, and the integrating time constant being between one and five seconds.

Abstract: A novel and improved antenna coupler useful in an adapter for a portable radiotelephone. In a first embodiment, a plurality of curved bands of metal are positioned on a ground plane, with at least one of the plurality of curved bands of metal being electrically isolated from the ground plane so as to couple RF signals to and from the antenna of a portable telephone. At least one ground pin is also mounted on the ground plane. When a portable radiotelephone is interfaced with the antenna coupler, the at least one ground pin makes electrical contact with assembly screws or an external ground pad of a battery charging port on the portable radiotelephone. In a second embodiment, a coupling pin makes direct contact with an component of the RF chain of the portable radiotelephone. In a third embodiment, a helical coupler surrounds the antenna of the portable radiotelephone.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé fournissant une série d'images en couleur, y compris un ensemble optique (12) de réception vidéo (19). Cet ensemble (12) transmet l'image vidéo (19) à un premier capteur (22) et un second capteur (24). Le premier (22) est un capteur numérique monochrome à haute résolution, et le second (24) est un capteur numérique couleur de résolution inférieure. Ces deux capteurs produisent une succession d'images au même débit. Les images successives sont codées au moyen d'un numéro et d'un code temporel. Les images successives issues des deux capteurs sont mises en mémoire dans un tampon d'images (38). L'image en couleur peut être travaillée au montage par un opérateur, qui utilise une machine de montage (14) pour obtenir une série d'images monochromes, automatiquement montées selon l'ordre de montage des images couleur correspondant aux numéros d'image et aux codes temporels. On peut transférer le contenu du tampon d'images (38) à une mémoire de masse (50), et aussi à un processeur de rendu des couleurs (44) pour obtenir une image composite à partir des images monochrome et des images couleur.
