Abstract: A coin-operated leisure machine has a play mechanism with symbols (1), at least one bonus mechanism (18, 19) and at least one jackpot box (28) designed as a real money collecting container (29) visible from outside the machine. In order to allow the payment of bonuses only when a predetermined admissible total winning amount per game is not reached, the jackpot box (28) can be filled when certain winning or partial winning combinations are displayed by the play mechanism with symbols (1) and/or certain losses or partial losses are displayed by the bonus mechanism (18, 19), after these winning combinations and/or losses are converted into amounts of money by a computer. The amounts of money accumulated in the jackpot box (28) can be paid out up to a fixed predetermined total winning amount per game when at least another determined winning or partial winning combination is displayed by the play mechanism with symbols (1) and/or another determined loss or partial loss is displayed by the bonus mechanism (18, 19), after said winning combinations or losses are converted by a computer into amounts of money (31).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé servant à fabriquer un sac, dont le fond possède un joint, à partir d'une bande de matériau pouvant être scellée et se présentant sous la forme d'une feuille, qu'on façonne afin d'obtenir un tube (12) et dont on scelle les bords opposés dans le sens de la longueur les uns aux autres. Ce procédé consiste à transférer le tube (12) sous une forme aplatie le long d'un trajet de transfert à une station de sectionnement (10), à sectionner le tube aplati (12) en longueurs (36) individuelles de sac aplati pendant son passage à travers la station de sectionnement (10) entre une lame rotative 26 et une contre-lame (26'), à transférer les longueurs (36) individuelles de sac aplati le long du trajet de transfert à une station de scellement (11) et à appliquer de la pression et, éventuellement, de la chaleur, aux faces opposées d'une partie d'extrémité de chaque longueur (36) simultanément au passage de cette dernière à travers la station de scellement (11) au moyen de blocs (31) pendant une durée prédéterminée plus longue que la période s'écoulant entre le sectionnement de ladite longueur (36) depuis le tube aplati (12) et le sectionnement de la prochaine longueur (36) depuis le tube aplati (12), tout en continuant à transférer la longueur (36) de sac aplati le long du trajet de transfert, de manière à créer un joint inférieur (41) pour le sac. On fabrique, de préférence, le tube aplati (12) avec des soufflets (14, 15). On peut réchauffer les blocs (31) si la bande est constituée par un matériau pouvant être scellé à la chaleur. On peut monter les barres de réchauffement (38, 39) pour les soufflets (14, 15) sur un bloc de montage chargé par ressort de façon plus légère et différent de celui utilisé pour la barre de réchauffement (37) qui crée le joint inférieur transversal (41). L'utilisation de rouleaux (24, 25) et la légère accélération des blocs (31) par rapport à la vitesse du tube aplati (12) préalablement au sectionnement de la longueur (36) de sac permet de sectionner correctement les longueurs (36) de sac depuis le tube aplati (12) malgré une usure éventuelle ou une détérioration des lames de sectionnement (26, 26'). Il est possible d'assurer le repérage de l'impression sur la bande (12), de sorte que les blocs (31) viennent en contact avec la bande (12) en position appropriée pour créer le joint inférieur (41), en modifiant temporairement la vitesse de transfert de la bande (12) par rapport à la vitesse de rotation de la lame rotative (26), de manière à modifier temporairement les longueurs des sacs (36) sectionnées à partir du tube (12) jusqu'à ce qu'on établisse de nouveau le repérage souhaité.

Abstract: A filterbank structure is provided which provides a flexible compromise between the conflicting goals of processing delay, filter sharpness, memory usage and band interaction. The filterbank has an adjustable number of bands and a stacking which provides for a selectable shift of band frequencies to one of two discrete sets of center frequencies. The width of the bands and hence the number of the bands is selected depending upon acceptable delay, memory usage, and processing speed required. The flexibility in terms of stacking of the bands provides twice the number of potential band edge placements, which is advantageous for hearing loss fitting, especially at low frequencies. The same filter coefficients can be used for analysis and synthesis, to reduce memory usage.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système de cathéter (10), dont au moins une partie contient une matière aux fullerènes (56) permettant de réaliser ou de faciliter une procédure médicale. Dans le cas d'un cathéter à ballonnet, la surface extérieure du ballonnet peut comporter une revêtement de fullerènes (64) qui sont de préférence photosensibles ou activés par la lumière. Une source lumineuse (60) peut servir à éclairer ou à activer par un autre moyen la matière aux fullerènes. La source lumineuse (60) peut être formée par une ou plusieurs fibres optiques s'étendant sur toute la longueur du cathéter, jusque dans le ballonnet. Divers agencements de ce système de cathéter sont possibles, la source de lumière pouvant émettre sélectivement un rayonnement lumineux vers l'extérieur à travers la matière aux fullerènes et à travers des parties associées du système de cathéter qui peuvent être translucides. Lorsqu'il est activé par un rayonnement lumineux, le revêtement de fullerènes peut de préférence produire et libérer des radicaux d'oxygène thérapeutiques. Ces radicaux d'oxygène peuvent modifier les fonctions cellulaires locales pour empêcher ou réduire la prolifération cellulaire. Cette thérapie peut avoir de nombreuses applications, y compris notamment la limitation de la resténose après une angioplastie.
