Patent CA-2407673-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUHAMEL GERALD
IPC: A63F1/00
Filed: 2001-05-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de choix de cartes qui offre aux joueurs deux mains de cartes parallèles à partir desquelles ils peuvent choisir pour composer une donne de poker. Les joueurs choisissent des cartes dans les deux jeux affichés, l'un en haut, l'autre en bas, et les déplacent vers la donne de poker en respectant la position des cartes dans le jeu. Quand un joueur a choisi toutes les cartes qu'il veut avoir dans la donne de poker, les cartes restées disponibles dans les jeux initiaux sont écartées et effacées de l'affichage. Ensuite, de nouvelles cartes sont choisies à partir du même paquet de cartes qui comprenait les jeux initiaux, pour compléter la donne de poker. La main obtenue est le résultat final du jeu de poker et donne lieu à l'attribution d'un prix au joueur, si la donne de poker finale correspond à un critère de gain.
Patent CA-2408679-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EDWARDS MARK STEPHEN
IPC: A46D1/08
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: Bristle stiffness is varied by allowing a support beam (22, 66, 80) that carries the bristles (54, 55, 68, 82, 84) to undergo torsional movement in response to brushing action. Torsional movement is achieved by allowing the support beam to be disconnected to the brush head along at least portions of the length of the support beam. In particularly preferred embodiments, brushes employing the varying stiffness techniques are made with bristle sub-assemblies that have at least one row of bristles connected to a base string or similar structure that functions as a support beam. The base string can be connected across an opening in the brush, and is thus connected at its opposite ends, or it can be connected at any number of spaced intervals, the number and length of spacing being selected to achieve a desired degree of stiffness.

Title: Engine revolution control apparatus having overspeed governing capability
Inventor: URAKI MAMORU
IPC: F02D45/00
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: When a large load is exerted during restraint control of the engine revolution, the drop of the engine revolution is significant and it comes into a state in which harsh braking is applied during travel, thereby impairing feeling of travel. Fig. 3(a) shows a comparative example, and when starting and termination of restraint control is implemented at an identical "threshold value", the difference d1 between the point P6 and the point P5 is a drop of the engine revolution. When the difference d1 is significant, it comes into a state in which harsh braking is applied during the travel, thereby impairing feeling of travel. Fig. 3(b) shows an embodiment, in which starting of restraint control is implemented at the first threshold value and termination of restraint control is implemented at the second threshold value. When the engine revolution is lowered to the value below the second threshold value at the point P14, restraint control is terminated and the operation is changed into the normal operation. Though the difference d10 between the point P16 and the point P15 is a drop of the engine revolution, the difference d10 is a fraction of the difference d1 shown in Fig. 6(a), which is small enough. The smaller the difference d10, the lower the feeling of braking during travel, and thus the feeling of travel is improved.

Title: Method of mass spectrometry and a mass spectrometer
Inventor: RICHARDSON KEITH
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein a gas collision cell is repeatedly switched between a fragmentation and a non-fragmentation mode. Parent ions from a first sample are passed through the collision cell and parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion mass spectra are obtained. Parent ions from a second sample are then passed through the collision cell and a second set of parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion mass spectra are obtained. The mass spectra are then compared and if either certain parent ions or certain fragmentation ions in the two samples are expressed differently then further analysis is performed to seek to identify the ions which are expressed differently in the two different samples.

Title: Differentially coherent combining for electronic article surveillance systems
Inventor: FREDERICK THOMAS J
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 2002-02-08
Abstract: Conventional EAS systems, such as ULTRA*MAX, use noncoherent detection and a highly nonlinear post detection combining algorithm. It is well known that using the phase information that is present in the received signal has advantages in detection performance. This is difficult to do in conventional ULTRA*MAX receiver because of the combination of a narrow signal bandwidth and short receive window duration. A method to incorporate signal phase into the detector by differential coherent combining is provided, which significantly improves processing gain that was not previously obtainable.
