Inventor: MCNEEL THOMAS E
IPC: C02F1/50
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submergible surface. The method contacts the submergible surface with an effective amount of at least one sulfamic acid or salt thereof to inhibit bacterial adhesion to the submergible surface. The invention also relates to a method for controlling biofouling of an aqueous system. This method adds an effective amount of at least one sulfamic acid or salt thereof to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submerged surface within the aqueous system. This method effectively controls biofouling without substantially killing the fouling organisms. The sulfamic acid used in the method of the invention has the formula R?1R2NS(O)¿2(OH). In this formula, R?1 and R2¿ are independently a hydrogen, a C¿4?-C20 alkyl group or a cyclohexyl group. However, R?1 and R2¿ are not both hydrogen. Alternatively, R?1 and R2¿, together with the N, may also form a 5-8 membered heterocyclic ring having formula (I). In the heterocyclic ring, X is O, NH, or CH¿2?. The salt of sulfamic acid can be an acid salt or quaternized sulfamic acid salt. The present invention also relates to a composition containing sulfamic acids or salts thereof useable in the above methods. The compositions comprise at least one sulfamic acid or salt thereof in an amount effective to inhibit bacteria from adhering to submergible or submerged surfaces.

Abstract: Ce tapis roulant repliable (10) est pourvu d'un plancher (12) dont l'extrémité postérieure s'articule sur une base fixe (14). Ce plancher (12) peut, de manière sélective, effectuer une rotation pour passer d'une position de fonctionnement dans laquelle il se trouve quasiment plan à une position d'entreposage dans laquelle il se lève et se trouve quasiment à la verticale. Ce tapis roulant (10) est également pourvu d'une rampe (16) rattachée au plancher (12), mais avec possibilité de dégagement, et dont une première extrémité est raccordée à la base tandis que l'autre extrémité se dresse au-dessus de l'extrémité antérieure du plancher lorsque celui-ci se trouve en position de fonctionnement. Cette rampe est conçue pour se mettre à plat quasiment à l'alignement du plancher lorsque celui-ci a effectué la rotation le mettant en position d'entreposage. Le plancher (12) et la rampe (16) sont conçus de manière qu'il soit possible de remiser le tapis roulant (10) contre une paroi et que le plancher puisse, de manière sélective, passer de la position d'entreposage à la position de fonctionnement et ce, en faisant se déplacer la rampe, sans que ni celle-ci ni le plancher n'entrent en contact avec la paroi.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant le traitement de l'information par utilisation d'un assistant numérique personnel fonctionnant avec un gestionnaire de barres d'états ou 'SBM' (Status Bar Manager) normalisé et des interfaces de barres d'états. Toutes les applications et la plate-forme de départ du système d'exploitation sont compatibles avec la barre d'états qui est uniformément utilisable pour présenter des messages à barre d'états et coopérer avec ces messages. Dès lors que cela s'avère nécessaire, le SBM relie ensemble toutes les zones barre d'états de toutes les applications (ainsi que la plate-forme de départ du système d'exploitation). Cette invention prend les messages d'états globaux correspondant à des événements entrants et les achemine à la barre d'états de chaque application active. Le SBM achemine également à la barre d'état tous les messages, que le message nécessite une réaction de l'utilisateur ou qu'il ne soit que pour information. Des applications minimales s'affichant par la barre d'états peuvent être lancées à partir de la barre d'états d'une application active sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'avoir d'abord accès à la plate-forme de départ du système d'exploitation. Enfin, le SBM crée une liste des appels téléphoniques sans réponse, laquelle liste comporte un code de raison expliquant pourquoi l'appel est resté sans réponse.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de remboursement de prix destiné à être utilisé sur un ou plusieurs appareils de jeux. Le jeu est proposé à un joueur, sur un appareil de jeux en échange de l'introduction d'argent, et des crédits de prix sont alloués au joueur, sur la base du jeu. Un menu de sélection de prix est affiché par l'appareil de jeux; il comprend un ou plusieurs prix, parmi lesquels le joueur peut choisir un prix dont la valeur ne dépasse pas le montant de crédit qui lui a été alloué. L'appareil ou autre module de jeux peut distribuer au joueur un ticket de prix spécifique pouvant être échangé contre le prix choisi. Le procédé commence à l'étape (320), et un processus de jeu est lancé à partir de l'étape (322). Au niveau de l'étape (324), le procédé permet de vérifier si la partie est terminée; si tel n'est pas le cas, le procédé se poursuit (étape 322). Une fois la partie terminée, le procédé permet de vérifier, lors de l'étape (326), si le joueur a gagné un prix spécifique. Si tel n'est pas le cas, le procédé se poursuit (328) de manière à octroyer des tickets au joueur ou à les créditer sur son compte.
