Abstract: A connector sealing mechanism for, and a method for mating a plug unit and receptacle unit of, an electrical, fiber-optic, or hybrid electro-optical connector unit. The connector unit and connector sealing mechanism are adapted for use in underwater and harsh environments, such as high pressure environments. The connector sealing mechanism is used to open and close a passage through the connector unit, the sealing mechanism having an open position and a closed position. The sealing mechanism includes a moveable gate body that is moveable in a lateral, as opposed to axial, direction within the connector unit. The gate body has a bore hole that is substantially aligned with the passage in the connector unit when in the open position. The sealing mechanism also has a gate key for moving the gate body laterally within the connector unit from the open position to the closed position. In the method, a plug unit having at least one keyway and at least one key (or tab) is mated to a receptacle unit having at least one key (or tab). The plug and receptacle units are forced together and rotated at certain points in order to move the keys through the keyways and thereby mate the two units.

Abstract: Systems employing passive magnetic bearing elements having minimal power losses are provided. Improved stabilizing elements are shown, employing periodic magnet arrays and inductively loaded circuits, but with improved characteristics compared to the elements disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,495,221 entitled "Dynamically Stable Magnetic Suspension/Bearing System." The improvements relate to increasing the magnitude of the force derivative, while at the same time reducing the power dissipated during the normal operation of the bearing system, to provide a passive bearing system that has virtually no losses under equilibrium conditions, that is, when the supported system is not subject to any accelerations except those of gravity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dice game having a horse-racing theme which includes a number of horses in the race the number of which corresponds to the number of sides of a single die. In play, preferably 3 dice are used. When a number representing a horse is rolled by any of the dice used, that horse is moved a distance referred to as a "furlong." If the horse's number appears on more than one die in a single roll, then the horse is moved a comparable number of furlongs. For example, if 3 dice are used and the numbers 6-6-2 are rolled, the number 2 horse moves 1 furlong, while the number 6 horse moves 2 furlongs. Thus, each horse begins a race with equal odds of winning, and each horse must go the same distance in order to complete the race. The present invention provides for standard horse racing wagers on the eventual outcome of the race, such as win, place, and show. The present invention further provides for a series of wagers, referred to as "betting-in-running," which can be placed on the outcome of each roll of the dice.

Abstract: The present invention is a process of making strap using both post consumer and non-post consumer PET of wide distribution intrinsic viscosity (IV) through direct solid state polymerization in a non-peletized state to produce PET with an increased, heterogenous IV suitable for high performance strap extrusion. The process increases the IV of post-consumer resins, consisting principally of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), by preferably chopping the post-consumer plastic into flakes and chunks, rolling the flakes and chunks, preheating the flakes, and further heating the pre-heated flakes and chunks in an atmosphere of hot nitrogen gas, thereby increasing their intrinsic viscosity. PET polymers having increased viscosities provide a polymer useful in manufacturing a high performance strap material.
