Title: Processing packetised data using a Cell Broadband Engine architecture
Inventor: FENTON JAY
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2008-08-19
Abstract: Packetised network-sourced data is processed in real-time using a multi-core processor 8a having at least one first processing core 11, e.g. a power processing element (PPE), and a plurality of second processing cores 12, e.g. synergistic processing elements (SPEs), each having a dedicated working memory LS. First processing core 11 may allocate processing tasks to the plurality of second processing cores 12. An I/O interface 9a, such as a network interface card, receives a packet of data and the first processing core allocates processing of the packet to one of the second processing cores. Alternatively, a packet may be transferred directly from I/O interface 9a to a second core 12 using a memory transfer operation and/or a scheduling algorithm so that a second processor 12 may allocate processing of a packet. The multi-core processor may employ the STI Cell Broadband Engine architecture for compressing, decompressing, encoding, decoding, encrypting or decrypting real-time packet data, e.g. voice calls or video streaming.

Title: Displaying and using 3D graphics on multiple displays provided for gaming environments
Inventor: SCHLOTTMANN GREGORY A
IPC: A63F13/12
Filed: 2008-06-06
Abstract: 3D images (or graphics) are effectively displayed across multiple displays provided in a gaming environment based on a 3D imaging (or graphics) model (or world). A game scene for a game played on a gaming machine is effectively displayed as a larger 3D scene across multiple displays configured for multiple gaming machines when a gaming criteria, event or condition is met (e.g., when a slot game generates a particular outcome on a gaming machine, a 3D scene is displayed on multiple gaming machines). 3D images (or objects) effectively displayed across multiple displays configured for multiple gaming machines can effect and/or complement the game being played on one or more of the gaming machines and/or used as an independent game. Animation (or movement) of one or more 3D objects can be used to trigger a gaming criteria, event or condition (e.g., start a bonus period for a game being played in a gaming machine). The gaming criteria, event or condition can be triggered solely based on the animation (or movement) of the 3D object(s) or in a combination with another condition.

Abstract: 482,688. Pneumatic tyres. SCHYTIL, J. April 9, 1937, No. 10216. Convention date, April 10, 1936. [Class 144 (ii)] Sectional air-chambers 1 are connected by flexible pipes 3 to one or more distributers 4 which serve for inflation purposes, equalisation of pressure in the chambers, and closure of the communication between the various chambers so as to isolate a damaged portion of the tyre. The chambers are fitted in a cover 2, from which the devices 4 project, so that the composite air-tube may be assembled as a unit in an ordinary outer cover. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the distributer element 4 comprises a flanged plug 13 having branches 8 for connecting the interior of the plug with the airchambers. The stem of the plug is externally threaded to receive a nut 18 and cap 23, and to take a non-return-valve inflator. Fitted within the tubular stem of the plug is a rubber block 10 carried by a metal base 11 having lugs 12 which pass through axial slots 14 in the plug and engage a shoulder 17 on the nut 18. When the latter is screwed home, the block 10 closes the passages 7 leading to the air-chambers which, during inflation, are in communication with one another. Further to ensure the action of the block 10, a spring 19 is fitted between the part 11 and a plate 20, the latter having lugs 21 seated in transverse slots 15 in the plug 13. The expansion of the air-chambers may be limited by means of external stiffening- bands.

Title: Improved steel capable of resisting rust and corrosion
IPC: C22C38/44
Filed: 1930-03-31
Abstract: A silicon-free steel, poor in carbon, resistant to rusting and corrosion, contains 0,1-1 per cent of chromium, 0,25-0,5 per cent of copper, 0,04-0,25 per cent of nickel and 0,01-0,05 per cent of tungsten.  In producing the steel a charge is smelted in a Siemens-Martin furnace comprising Martin pig-iron, a special pig iron containing up to 0,1 per cent only of phosphorus and scrap iron with the usual addition of lime.  Decarburizing additions of iron oxide, for example slag or scale in quantities of 0,4-0,5 per cent of the metallic charge are made to bring down the carbon to 0,03 per cent. After degassing the charge by additions of, for example, ferromanganese or aluminium, the alloying is carried out by the addition of a ledeburitic carbidic alloy free from graphite and containing approximately 2,5-3 per cent of carbon, 20-30 per cent of chromium, 6-10 per cent of nickel, 10-15 per cent of copper, 5-6 per cent of tungsten, the remainder being iron free from manganese, silicon and phosphorus.
