Title: Free game bonus round for gaming machines
Inventor: GAUSELMANN MICHAEL
IPC: A63F13/45
Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: A system of linked gaming machines is disclosed herein. Upon a certain triggering event occurring, eligible gaming machines simultaneously receive a signal for initiating a free game bonus round. The players that have been playing the gaming machines will then play a certain number of free games in a competition with other players involved in the same bonus round. The player awarded the most credits or points from the play of the free games is awarded a special jackpot. Other jackpot games (e.g., split jackpot) are also envisioned. In another embodiment, a jackpot award or any award to the player may be granted based on a certain outcome of the free games. The possibility of the free game bonus round occurring at any time provides incentive for players to keep playing the linked gaming machines. The free game bonus round may also be played on a single non-linked machine where bonuses may be granted for credits exceeding certain levels. Other features are described, such as the dynamic allocation of percentages of wagers to various jackpots and other pots used in the free game bonus round.

Abstract: A rotary electric motor comprises a rotor having a plurality of permanent magnet elements disposed in an annular ring configuration about an axis of rotation, the magnet elements successively alternating in magnetic polarity along an inner annular surface, and a stator spaced form the rotor by a radial air gap. The stator includes a plurality of magnetic core segments having respective coils wound thereon to form stator windings, the core segments separated from direct contact with each other and disposed along the radial air gap. Each stator segment comprises a pair of poles aligned with each other in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation. Thus the stator comprises a first set of stator poles in radial alignment and an axially displaced second set of stator poles in radial alignment.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une architecture permettant d'effectuer des communications entre un système informatique distant et un serveur hôte via un réseau de type "à établissement de communication" (c'est-à-dire, commuté). Cette architecture consiste à configurer le système informatique distant avec une pile de protocole de point-à-point (PPP). De même, un module de service de protocole de résolution d'adresse (ARP) et un serveur DHCP sont configurés sur le système informatique distant. La pile PPP assure des fonctions d'accès au réseau par ligne commutée, tandis que le serveur DHCP et le module de service ARP assurent une fonction de messagerie de réseau du type "toujours commuté" (c'est-à-dire, réseau local). La pile PPP, le module de service ARP et le serveur DHCP sont configurés sous forme de logiciel pilote qui est installé sur le système informatique distant. A ce titre, le logiciel pilote valide la communication via le réseau du type "à établissement de communication" qui ressemble à un réseau du type "toujours commuté" au système informatique distant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a blister packaging machine comprising at least one work station working in a clock-pulsed manner. In a work cycle, at least one first adjusting movement is carried out during a period TV1 followed by a treatment state during a period TB wherein a product and/or material is treated. A second adjusting movement is carried out during a period TV2, followed by a rest state during a period TR . The periods TV1, TB, TV2 and TR and a clock pulse rate R (= pulses/min) of the packaging machine are preset and at least the clock pulse rate R can be altered to form a modified clock pulse rate RV by means of an input device. According to the invention, a cycle time difference T arising from the modified clock pulse rate RV is used essentially to modify the duration TR of the rest state.  Preferably, the periods TV1, TB, and TV2 remain unchanged when a modified clock pulse rate RV is inputted.

Title: Retention valve that controls the emptying of cylinders with liquid petroleum gas
Inventor: SEPULVEDA BARRIA LUIS GUILLERM
IPC: F17C13/04
Filed: 2004-08-25
Abstract: In order to avoid waste of material and costs originated by retention valves that control the flow of liquid petroleum gas (GLP), wrongly assembled, lower the manufacturing costs, eliminate the potential risks in the security of the valve originated by the user's manipulation when disassembling and reassembling the same, and solving the problems related with the inner adjustment of some parts and the vibration of the whole, it has been developed a connection rod POL (12) that eliminates the rod's end POL  as an independent part, by merging both parts in one single part, reducing significantly the normal vibration of the whole. Said rod POL (12) includes an end (19) which consists in a concentric circular ring (20) with a plurality of rectangular cuts (21), preferably four and arranged orthogonally, partially surrounding the spring (10), so when the action of the fluid moves the rod POL (12), the ring (20) moves towards the end of the mechanized region (11).

Abstract: Le procédé concerne la mise en place d'une infrastructure sécurisée (matérie l et logiciel) de gestion de la conformité, du contrôle d'accès et de la rémédiation des postes informatiques, dans un réseau IP. Le procédé vise à protéger (intégrité du réseau corporatif en empêchant un poste non-conforme, selon les politiques corporatives de sécurité (correctifs de sécurité, antivirus, etc.), d'avoir accès au réseau corporatif et ainsi éviter la contamination (vers et virus informatiques) du réseau corporatif p ar des postes informatiques vulnérables. Le procédé permet d'appliquer une approche «block & scan» qui fait en sorte que le poste est bloqué à la couche réseau OSI 2 «Data Lin k» (LAN et WAN) donc avant d'obtenir une adresse IP du serveur DHCP corporatif. Ainsi, le procédé permet d'isoler les postes, au démarrage dans des réseaux locaux virtuels (VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network) de conformité, afin de pouvoir effectuer une vérificatio n de conformité. Le procédé permet de mettre à niveau (correctifs) les postes non-conformes. Une fois le poste conforme, le procédé permet de donner instruction au port du commutate ur afin d'effectuer un changement du VLAN du poste vers le VLAN de production ou ver s un VLAN de quarantaine ou de services limités dans le cas d'un poste non conforme. Le procédé permet la même opération à la couche OSI 3 pour les postes distants «VPN» et les postes sans fil «Wireless» mais fonctionne avec des listes d'accès dynamiques (DAL - Dynamic Access List).

Abstract: A modification method for improving the emulsifying power of gum arabic. In the method, particles of gum arabic are prevented, during a processing step, from arousing or suffering troubles such as adhesion to one another to form a candy-like mass, deposition on the vessel, drying, or scorching. Particles obtained by roughly granulating gum arabic are heated to 40~C or higher in an atmosphere having a relative humidity of 30 to 100% to thereby obtain a modified gum arabic having an excellent emulsifying power. This modified gum arabic is suitable for use as an emulsifying agent for drinks, confectionery, chewing gum, oil-based perfumes, oil-based colorants, oil-soluble vitamins, etc.

Title: Stabilized immunogenic hbc chimer particles
Inventor: LYONS KATELYNNE
IPC: C07K14/02
Filed: 2003-12-10
Abstract: A chimeric, carboxy-terminal truncated hepatitis B virus nucleocapsid (core) protein (HBc) that is engineered for both enhanced stability of self-assembled particles and the substantial absence of nucleic acid binding by those particles is disclosed. The chimeric protein molecule can include one or more immunogenic epitopes peptide-bonded to one or more of the N-terminus, the immunogenic loop or the C-terminus of HBc. The enhanced stability of self-assembled particles is obtained by the presence of at least one heterologous cysteine residue near one or both of the amino-terminus and carboxy-terminus of the chimer molecule and the absence of the cysteine residues present in the native sequence at HBc positions 48 and 107.
