Patent CA-2551632-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEBER MICHAEL F
IPC: G02B5/28
Filed: 2004-12-09
Abstract: A multilayer interference reflecting film has individual optical layers arranged to form optical repeat units throughout the film. Each of a plurality of optical repeat units has six individual layers, at least three of which have different refractive indices at a design wavelength &lgr;0#191.  Individual layers having nominally the same refractive index and physical thickness, arbitrarily labeled "A", "B", "C", and "D", are arranged in a six-layer optical repeat unit in a cyclic permutation of CACDBD, where the A and B  layers are each thicker than the C and D layers. The thicknesses and refractive indices of the individual layers can be selected to suppress the second, third, and fourth order reflections, while reflecting light at the design wavelength.

Title: Graphical printing system and method using text triggers
Inventor: CAMPBELL TERRENCE J
IPC: G07G5/00
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: A set of new printing functions are implemented as defining commands to make it possible to add graphic effects to a printout of a POS printer. These functions are based on a method of designating usually cyclically re-occurring byte strings, usually text in receipts, to act as triggers to launch the graphics function. These functions include optionally eliminating some text, adding graphic surrounds about designated lines, changing the color of designated lines, and inserting logos between or merging logos with text. Such usage need not make any changes to existing store lane checkout applications.  Configuring new custom commands in POS printers permits defining byte string triggers occurring in receipt text that are used to trigger adding graphics to the receipt output.

Title: Method and apparatus for transverse distribution of a flowing medium
Inventor: LUNDBERG JOERGEN
IPC: F15D1/02
Filed: 2005-01-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for achieving even transverse distribution and propagation of a flowing medium.

The medium is deflected during diverging propagation along the distribution gap (14, 14~, 14~~, 14~~~); the medium is conveyed via a passage (16) to an outlet gap (20) having a larger gap depth than the distribution gap; the medium is conveyed over an edge (18, 18~, 18~~, 18~~~) extending transverse the direction of the flow, and the edge (18, 18~, 18~~, 18~~~) is designed such that the friction surface obtain a propagation along the flowing path of the diverging medium that provides a substantially even and parallel flow of the medium along the outlet gap (20). The present invention also relates to an apparatus.

Inventor: WILSON SHEILA
IPC: G01P13/00
Filed: 2006-07-27
Abstract: A light display mechanism for use with high profile motor vehicles, such as recreational vehicles, which has a light pattern, relatively long in length, parallel to the length of the vehicle, but which extends outwardly for only a relatively limited distance.      In this way, the light pattern will adequately light any activity in close proximity to the vehicle and for most of the length of the vehicle. In this respect, the apparatus is highly effective as a motion detector for recreational vehicles in that it will not unduly spread light into one of the more adjacent recreational vehicles.

Patent CA-2573988-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEPAN ANDREAS
IPC: C25F1/06
Filed: 2005-07-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for electrolytically descaling flat metal products (2), particularly strips of stainless steel and or C-steel. At least one diamond electrode and /or at least one lead/tin electrode, e.g. a lead 93/tin 7 electrode (15), is used. The specific particularity of the diamond electrode or lead/tin electrodes lies in the form of water decomposition. Normally, water is divided into hydrogen and oxygen during electrolysis. The diamond electrode and/or lead/tin electrode, however, provides a working area in which either ozone or highly reactive hydroxyl radicals are formed instead oxygen. As a result, it is possible to significantly reduce descaling times in comparison with conventional chemical descaling and conventional electrolytic descaling.

Abstract: A method of playing a wagering game where each player is dealt a plurality of playing pieces. Each player will review the playing pieces. A first player will make a call of a total quantity of a numeric suit on all playing pieces.  Each successive player will make a next call of the total quantity of the numeric suit of all playing pieces unless another player challenges that the call is incorrect. For each successive call, the next call has to be one where either the quantity of the numeric suit increases, a value of the numeric suit increases and the quantity stays the same, or both the quantity and the numeric suit increases. After a challenge is made, each player will display the playing pieces. A winning player is decided by seeing if the total quantity of the numeric suit of all playing pieces by a last player to make a call is correct or if the player challenging is correct.
