Patent CA-2283950-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WELLS BILL
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 1999-09-27
Abstract: An electronic memory which cannot be modified or erased, such as one-time programmable or add-only (OTP/AO) memory is used for storing direct or indirect indications of characteristics of a gaming terminal or its components. Preferably, a plurality of gaming terminal boards includes memory that has one or more rows of OTP/AO memory for storing information such as memory or board serial numbers, manufacture date, processor speed or type, software or hardware version numbers, and the like. Such information is preferably used in connection with assuring the appropriateness of modifications or configurations of the gaming terminal, such as downloading software or other software modification and/or changes to hardware configuration. OTP/AO information can be used in connection with verifying identity or characteristics of software or hardware, e.g. for warranty purposes. The non-erasable and non-modifiable nature of the information provides assurance that software downloads or other modifications will not be inappropriate because of inadvertent or intentional misidentification of a component.

Title: Low modulus elastomer
Inventor: CHANG RONG JONG
IPC: H01B3/44
Filed: 1998-06-02
Abstract: An elastomer has a modulus intermediate between that of a conventional rubber and a gel. The elastomer includes (a) between 20 and 45 parts by weight of a semicrystalline elastomer having between 1 and 15 % crystallinity and (b) between 80 and 55 parts by weight of a compatible liquid elastomer having a number-average molecular weight of between 1,500 and 8,500.

Title: Method for continuously producing chewing gum
Inventor: WARRINGTON RICHARD MARK
IPC: A23G4/00
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: An improved process for continuously producing chewing gum products. A  continuous extrusion machine is utilized preferably with a rotating twin-screw mixing mechanism (10). The sugar ingredient of the chewing gum product is divided into two portions to improve texture of the final product. One portion (34) is added at the initial upstream end of the extrusion process, while the other portion (52) is added after most of the other ingredients have been included in the gum mass. The flavoring ingredients can also be divided into two portions, one portion (46) introduced into the extrusion process upstream of the sugar material and the other portion (54) introduced downstream of the other ingredients. Splitting the sugar and flavoring ingredients affects the texture and flavor release profiles of the final gum product (16).

Title: Optical wavelength-space cross-connect switch architecture
Inventor: FATEHI MOHAMMAD
IPC: H04B10/291
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: A multi-wavelength optical cross-connect switch architecture incorporates a plurality of wavelength-selective optical cross-connect (WSXC) switch fabrics that receive multi-wavelength input signals distributed by one or more optical slicers and generate multi wavelength output signals that are combined by a plurality of optical combiners. The WSXC fabrics employ fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) as wavelength-selective elements. Using this architecture, the number of multi-wavelength channels carried by each WSXC is reduced from the number of channels present in each multi-wavelength input signal. In addition, the wavelength spacing between adjacent channels carried by each WSXC is increased over the spacing between adjacent channels in each multi-wavelength input signal.
