Title: Interactive game
Inventor: LEFROY GREG W
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2001-08-20
Abstract: There is provided a method and system for playing a multi-player interactive  game in conjunction with a single event, such as a major league baseball gam e. The event is divided into a plurality of sub-events, with a plurality of possible outcomes for each sub-event. Prior to the event, potential quantitative outcomes for each sub-event are assigned. Numeric weights, used  to calculate scores, are assigned to each of the potential outcomes. Players  attempt to predict actual outcomes from a list of possible outcomes for each  sub-event. Players may access relevant statistics to help make their predictions. During the event player scores are calculated for each player b y assigning points, based on the numeric weights, for each of the player's predicted outcomes that match actual outcomes. Player scores are regularly updated during the event and displayed. Once the event finishes, final score s are calculated for each player and prizes are awarded. The game may be implemented in many forms, including on one or more computers networked together, via the Internet or on a personal digital assistant with wireless communication capability.

Title: User interface element representation with simplified view
Inventor: GUPTA NAMITA
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-03-17
Abstract: A composite user interface element can be assembled from plural sub-elements. A simplified view of the representation of the user interface element can be provided wherein the composited user interface element appears to be a single element. When defined, various nodes for representing the user interface can be designated as selectively exposable. Such selectively exposable nodes can be ignored when performing operations via the simplified view. Accordingly, programmers can write code that need not take the complexity of the composite user interface element into account. Property determination can be done in light of the selectively exposable nodes. A simplified view can support nested user interface elements having respective selectively exposable nodes.

Title: System and process for optimizing cooling in continuous casting mold
Inventor: SEARS JAMES B JR
IPC: B22D11/22
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: An improved process of operating a continuous casting mold of the type that includes at least one mold surface and at least one coolant passage that is in thermal communication with the mold surface includes determining based on at least one factor whether it would be most advantageous to direct coolant through the coolant passage in a first direction or in a second, opposite direction. For example, if the mold liner is beneath a predetermined thickness it may be advantageous to circulate the coolant so that it enters the water jacket and the coolant slots that are defined in the mold liner at the bottom and exiting from the top so that there is some prewarming of the coolant before it reaches the meniscus region. Conversely, if the mold liner is thicker it may be desirable to introduce the coolant at the top of the water jacket, thus enhancing the cooling effect in the meniscus region.
Patent CA-2425421-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LERY SCOTT A
IPC: H03M1/10
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: An improved DC compensation method for use in conjunction with telephony signalling. The method includes defining a frame that includes at least two n-bit codewords.      An unsigned codeword is then identified within the frame by applying a rule to the codewords in the defined frame.      Next, a sign bit is appended to the unsigned codeword, thereby producing a DC compensating codeword. The sign bit is selected based upon a weighting function of the linear values associated with previously transmitted codewords.      The remaining unsigned codewords in the frame are assigned sign bits from user data.
