Title: Gaming machine displaying special symbols that shift positions
Inventor: GAUSELMANN MICHAEL
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2004-12-21
Granted: 2011-07-21
Abstract: In one embodiment, a special feature is offered by a spinning reels type video slot machine, where virtual reels displayed on a video screen appear to rotate and are stopped to reveal an array of symbols. One or more of the 5 possible symbols are special symbols. Examples of special symbols are wild cards and multipliers. If the special symbol cannot be utilized in the current game to grant an award to the player, the special symbol is carried over into the next game. When the player spins the reels for the next game, the special symbol(s) moves (e.g., randomly) to any position in the array as the reels appear to spin. 10 When the reels stop, the special symbol(s) carried over from the previous game is applied to the current game to grant an award to the player. In another embodiment, special symbols are not extinguished after they are used, but may continue for any selected number of games.

Title: Novel lactobacillus, living body activating lactobacillus preparation and preventive or therapeutic agent against living body infection
Inventor: TOSHIMORI HITOSHI
IPC: C12R1/245
Filed: 2004-07-27
Granted: 2007-10-04
Abstract: There has been effort to develop a lactobacillus that would be useful as a probiotic, and to develop a lactobacillus which would colonize and proliferate in lesions of infection, eliminating the causal bacteria.  This problem was resolved by developing a  Lactobacillus  casei species having the following key properties. (1) The species can be grown in the presence of any of one to four amino acids as a nitrogen source necessary for growth. (2) When a growth-promoting culture medium is inoculated with the species and  Escherichia coli  in the same count and subjected to anaerobic mixed culturing at 37°C, the final count of lactobacilli is 50% or more of the coliform count. (3) Upon cultivation in an appropriate culture medium, the final pH value is 4.0 or below, and the highest acidity is 1.5% or more. (4) The species is resistant to 5% bile salts. (5) The species produces an antibiotic.

Title: Risk assessment for adverse drug reactions
Inventor: CHUNG WEN-HUNG
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-06-18
Granted: 2009-10-22
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of predicting the risk of a patient for developing adverse drug reactions, particularly SJS or TEN. It was discovered that an HLA-B allele, HLA-B* 1502, is associated with SJS/TEN that is induced by a variety of drugs. The correlation with HLA-B* 1502 is most significant for carbamazepine-induced SJS/TEN, wherein all the patients tested have the HLA-B* 1502 allele. In addition, another HLA-B allele, HLA-B*5801, is particularly associated with SJS/TEN induced by allopurinol. Milder cutaneous reactions, such as maculopapular rash, erythema multiforme (EM), urticaria, and fixed drug eruption, are particularly associated with a third allele, HLA-B *4601. For any of the alleles, genetic markers (e.g., HLA markers, microsatellite, or single nucleotide polymorphism markers) located between DRB1 and HLA-A region of the specific HLA-B haplotype can also be used for the test.

Abstract: A device (1) is disclosed fitted to a reservoir (13) of the type used as an aerial borne dump bucket for water bombing bush fires. The device (1) includes complementary inner (2a) and outer (2b) peripheral frame members 5 surrounding an open port (3) which extends through the side wall (4) of the reservoir (13). A plate (7) is pivotally attached to the inner surface of the inner frame member (2a). A flexible membrane (11) is fitted to that surface of the plate (7) which faces the port (3). The dimensions of the plate (7) and membrane (11) are such that, when the device is in the closed position, the 10 membrane (11) is a liquid seal to the port (3). The upper edge (12) of the plate (7) is angled inwards sufficient to abut the inner frame member (2a) at an inclination when the device is in its maximum open position to prevent further inward movement of the plate (7). As the reservoir is lowered into a body of water, a pressure differential opens the seal allowing ingress of water. 15 As the filled reservoir is raised from the body of water, a pressure differential closes the seal preventing egress of the contained water. *r .t..gge 1" A'WSTE!' -~C4 -c nct.
