Abstract: A card game is played on a felt covered semicircular table top with player stations along its arcuate edge.  Pairs of cards of a deck are dealt face up until a pair consists of two cards of unequal rank.  The two cards are respectively designated a B card and a P card.  Cards of the deck are thereafter dealt face up until a conclusion card is dealt that is equal in rank to either the B card or the P card.  A player makes a color wager on the color of a card that is dealt face up, a HI/LO wager on the rank of the card that is dealt face up and a P/B wager on the rank of the conclusion card.

Inventor: GALLOWAY TERRY R
IPC: G21F9/08
Filed: 1996-05-01
Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for the suppression of foams during the processing of streams containing waste materials. An additive is introduced into a waste stream and the waste stream is processed for a period of time at an elevated temperature and substantially atmospheric pressure. The tendency toward foam formation is suppressed by particles from the additive becoming suspended in the waste stream. The waste materials containing a substantial reduction of foam are removed from the processing system without the usual spattering and formation of sticky residue which causes fouling and frequent shutdowns of the processing system.

IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 1997-11-25
Abstract: An illumination system used in photolithography for the manufacture of semiconductors having an array optical element with different illumination regions matched to different geometric pattern regions on a reticle.  The array optical element may be a filter, diffractive optical element, or microlens array having illumination regions producing different types of illumination properties or characteristics such as quadrupole, annular, or top hat among others.

Title: System and method for distributed content electronic commerce
Inventor: GREGORY JAMES MCKANNA
IPC: G06Q20/12
Filed: 1997-11-25
Abstract: Distributed electronic commerce is conducted over a network   by substantially   separating   transaction functionality from merchant content.  Electronic commerce transaction functionality is provided by a commerce server having a commerce database. The commerce server stores merchant and purchaser profile data and merchant content summaries on the commerce database.  The purchaser browses and searches for product and merchant information using the commerce server, and is provided with more detailed information stored at a separate merchant content server system. The purchaser selects products to purchase, and a purchase order  is  sent  to the commerce  server.   The commerce  server  initiates  the  settlement  of  accounts between the merchant and purchaser, and initiates order fulfillment for the selected product. The separation of transaction  functionality  and  merchant  content  onto separate servers under the control of a commerce service provider and a merchant,  respectively, provides a more efficient and effective way of carrying out electronic commerce over a network.
Patent CA-2226275-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MICKAEL MEDHAT W
IPC: G01V5/10
Filed: 1998-01-06
Abstract: A method for determining oil saturation in an earth formation penetrated by a wellbore. Measurements of relative amounts of carbon and oxygen are made by spectral analysis of neutron-induced inelastic gamma rays detected from the earth formation at spaced apart locations. The method includes calculating an apparent oil holdup in the wellbore at each of the spaced apart locations from the relative amounts of carbon and oxygen. A corrected oil holdup is calculated in the wellbore from differences between the apparent holdups determined at each of the spaced apart locations. An apparent oil saturation in the formation is determined at each of the spaced apart locations from the relative amounts of carbon and oxygen and the corrected oil holdup. A corrected formation oil saturation is determined from differences between the apparent oil saturations at each of the spaced apart locations. In a preferred embodiment, the apparent oil holdups and apparent oil saturations are determined by comparing the measured carbon and oxygen amounts with empirical relationships of the relative amounts of carbon and oxygen with respect to known values of oil holdup and oil saturation for various mineral compositions and porosity values of the earth formation.

Abstract: Methods and system for allowing the winder to continue to wind armatures and therefore avoid a total loss of production which would otherwise occur during the time which passes between breakage or overflow of the wire and intervention of the operator to restore normal winding conditions are provided.  Upon detection of a wire breakage or overflow at a winding position, the wires from flyers corresponding to that position are withdrawn. by a withdrawing device.  In addition to withdrawing the wires from flyers corresponding to the position where the wire breakage or overflow took place, all flyer rotations in the multiple dynamo-electric part winder are stopped.  The affected armatures are transferred to a reject track and new armatures to be wound are subsequently delivered to the winding positions.  While the armature in the position where the breakage or overflow was detected remains unwound, the armature in the other position is wound and delivered to the conveyor.  The transfer device sends back and forth two unwound armatures to the position where the breakage or overflow was detected, while only wound armatures from the unaffected positions are delivered to the conveyor.

Title: System and method for activation of an enhanced telecommunication service
Inventor: MALIK DALE W
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: A system and method for activation of an enhanced telecommunication service without a turn-on call by a subscriber. The present invention is described in the AIN environment, where an enhanced telecommunication service is set up for a directory number. The enhanced telecommunication service has an active state wherein the enhanced telecommunication service is applied to calls received for the directory number. The enhanced telecommunication service also has an inactive state wherein the enhanced telecommunication service is not applied to calls received for the directory number. The first call is directed to the directory number, where the enhanced telecommunication service is in the inactive state. A no answer condition from the directory number is detected with respect to the first call. In response to the detection of the no answer condition, the enhanced telecommunication service changes to the active state. The enhanced telecommunication service is maintained in the active state for successive calls, whereby the enhanced telecommunication service is activated by the detection of the no answer condition for the first call, without the turn-on call from the subscriber, and remains activated for successive calls to the directory number.

Abstract: The plunger of a baler for making parallelepiped bales is driven by an extensible and retractable hydraulic actuator that is connected for oscillating a link forming a crank coupled to the plunger by a connecting link. The dimensions and locations of the crank and connecting link relative to the hydraulic actuator results in the plunger being moved in the baling chamber through a distance which is about twice the stroke of the actuator when the plunger is moved from a fully retracted position, at one side of an inlet used for introducing crop into the chamber, to a fully extended position at an opposite side of the inlet from the fully retracted position.

Title: Self-supporting cable
Inventor: EFRAIMSSON LARS-OLOF
IPC: H01B7/18
Filed: 1997-04-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to self-supporting cables that include at least one insulated conductor (1, 2, 3) that comprises a conductor (4) having at least one wire (11) and an insulation (5) around the cable conductor. The cable also includes at least one longitudinally extending shield band (6), and a jacket (7). According to the invention, the shield band (6) is rigid in a radial direction and includes undulations (22, 23) that extend mainly in a tangential direction. The jacket (7) includes undulations (21) that correspond to the shield band undulations (22). When a weak radially acting compressive force is applied to cable fixing points, the jacket undulations (21) and the shield band undulations (22) cam into each other, such as to enable the force of gravity acting on the cable between the cable fixing points to be trasmitted into the conductors (4) as an axially acting force in the absence of slippage between the different cable layers. The cable becomes self-supporting by virtue of the mechanical strength of the conductors (4).
