Title: Distributed immersive entertainment system
Inventor: BORG ANDREW S
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: A multi-camera high-definition or standard-definition switched video signal is distributed from the Point of Capture (POC) using industry standard technology for broadband distribution such as fiber optic or satellite, to a Point Of Display (POD) where multiple video projectors or displays integrated with a digital light show and high-end audio are utilized to provide a totally immersive entertainment environment. That environment is controlled using a graphically based tool called the LightPianoTM , and is then extended through the festival atmosphere in the Club Annex, where licensed merchandise, auctions, and swap meets are located. Online Instant Messaging, Short Message System (SMS) text messaging, Chat, and Fan Clubs generate additional content, which is sent back to the POD. There is extensive use of the Worldwide Web for both local and remote access to the chat, fan clubs, SMS and instant messaging systems, as well as for online access for customers to view scheduling, and purchase ticketing, webcasts and archive access. The Web is also used by the venue owner to manage the entire system for booking, data mining, scheduling, ticketing, webcasting, and facilities management. The Web interface combined with the power of the LightPiano makes this complex interrelated system relatively easy and intuitive to operate. It significantly lowers the cost of operation and makes the system scalable to a large network of POCs and PODs.  It allows one POC to feed many PODs, enabling a truly global distributed, immersive entertainment environment.

Title: Flexing base skate
Inventor: SVENSSON JOHN E
IPC: A43B5/16
Filed: 1999-03-17
Abstract: A first embodiment of a flexing base skate (10) includes an upper shoe portion (12) mounted on a base (14). The base includes a forefoot region (20) secured to a forward frame segment (26) carrying forward wheels (18a, 18b). A heel region (24) of the base is secured to a rearward frame segment (28) that carries rearward wheels (18c, 18d). The base defines and flexes at a reduced thickness metatarsal head portion (22), with the skater's heel and the rearward frame segment elevating freely relative to the forward frame segment. A spring (72) incorporated into the base biases the skate to the unflexed configuration. The forward frame section overlaps the rearward frame section for lateral stability. An alternate embodiment provides a rigid full length frame (112) and a flexible base (104) mounted only at the forefoot region (106) to the frame. The base (104) flexes at a metatarsal head portion (108), and is constructed to form an integral spring biasing the base against the frame. The base includes a guide (118) for lateral alignment of the heel region (11) with the frame.

Inventor: AGNES GEORGE R
IPC: G21K/
Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: This application relates to a process for controllably placing two or more microspots on a target substrate in close proximity to one another. The microspots may then be simultaneously irradiated and the resulting ions detected by mass spectrometry, such as time of flight mass spectrometry. In one embodiment the size and spacing of the microspots on the substrate may be controlled by using an electrodynamic balance during the deposition step. The deposition procedure ensures that at least some of the microspots are spaced-apart on the substrate a distance less than the focused output of a single laser. Simultaneous irradiation of the adjacent microspots may cause desorption plumes of the microspots to interact in a gas phase, such as by ion-molecule reactions. The microspots may be configured to improve the ionization yield of the sample material in the gas phase and/or to increase the frequency of ion-molecule collisions in the gas phase. This allows for desorption of particular classes of compounds to be optimized independently of ionization.  Different microspots could include different amounts or types of matrix compounds to enable simultaneously detection of compounds of varied physical and chemical properties within the same sample. One or more of the microspots may include calibrants or other additives for improving detecting accuracy or quantitation. Organized array of closely packed microspots may be created for use as standard reference materials or analyte detectors.

Patent CA-2538985-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BANKS LARRY
IPC: F16F1/04
Filed: 2004-09-13
Abstract: The systems and methods include a feed mechanism supplying multi-strand wire (213) to a coil-spring winder (212). The coil-spring winder (212) receives wire (213) from a spool of wire (211) and forms that wire (213) into a coil spring (214). To feed the coil-spring winder (212), the systems include a wire holder that supplies the wire (213) to the coil-spring winder (212) along a feed direction. The wire holder is supported for rotation about an axis (219) that may be aligned with the feed direction. Thus, as the spool of wire (211) revolves around the central spool axis (216), the spool (211) also revolves around a second axis (219), which typically is orthogonal to the spool axis (216). In this way, it is understood that the coil-spring winder (212) can pull wire (213) off the spool (211) without it causing twisting that may unravel or snap the multi-strand wire (213).
