Patent AU-573433-B2 (AU)
Title: Device for supplying an electric separator or precipitator with high-voltage pulses
Inventor: DALLHAMMER RICHARD
IPC: B03C3/68
Filed: 1986-03-27
Granted: 1988-06-09
Abstract: An electrostatic precipitator is fed high voltage pulses by a pulse generating circuit including a high voltage transformer and a first thyristor switch connected in series with a primary winding of the transformer. Magnetic saturation of the core of the high voltage transformer is prevented by recurrently short circuiting the primary winding of the transformer by means of a second thyristor switch connected in parallel to the primary winding. The second thyristor switch is closed for a period of time extending from a first instant following a high voltage pulse crest to a second instant at or before the start of a pulse generating cycle subsequent to the pulse crest.

Title: Slot machine
IPC: A63F5/04
Filed: 1990-08-13
Granted: 1993-03-04
Abstract: Whether or not a hit is given to a game is determined before symbol trains stop moving, or preferably when a start lever is manipulated for starting the motion of the symbol trains. For a game allowed to have a hit, the motion speed of symbol trains is switched from a high speed to a low speed, or the speed is set at a low speed from the beginning. For a game not allowed to have a hit, the symbol trains move at a high speed from the beginning. From the difference between motion speeds, a player can be given beforehand suggestion as to whether the game has been allowed to have a hit.
