Title: Reel apparatus for game machine
Inventor: TAKEUCHI SUSUMU
IPC: A63F5/04

Granted: 2002-01-02
Abstract: Disposed in front of the lastly stopping center reel 12B of three reels 12A, 12B, and 12C is a cover member 16 which is movable between the position of a display apparatus 108a and a shelter position thereabove and is formed with a picture Fo. When the reel 12B is stopped with its picture Fo placed at the display window 108a, in the case where each of the other two reels 12A and 12C is stopped with the picture Fo placed at the display window 108a (in the case of a jackpot), the cover member 16 is moved from the shelter position to the position of the display window 108a and minutely vibrates at the position of the display window 108a before being stopped, whereby the picture Fo' formed in the cover member 16 appears in an unusual mode. Accordingly, the player's impression when winning a jackpot in a game machine equipped with thus configured reel apparatus can be fully enhanced, thus allowing enjoyability thereof to improve. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a furnace and process that relies on a multiplicity of radiant heating tubes, each in the form of a U-shaped coil, that are mounted within a furnace firebox such that an inlet leg of any one of the plural tubes is immediately adjacent and spaced apart from an outlet leg of another one of the plural tubes within the firebox of a thermal cracking furnace. This spacial pairing of an inlet leg of one tube with an outlet leg of another tube of the plural radiant heating tubes of the cracking furnace maximizes utilization of the available radiant heat within the firebox of a thermal cracking furnace while reducing the likelihood of localized hot spotting that could produce coke-tar plugging of a tube.

Abstract: A process for forming a surface modification on a polymer substrate and polymer substrates having such surface modifications. The process comprises the steps of: absorbing a swelling monomer into the polymer substrate for a period of time in order to swell the polymer substrate; removing the swollen polymer from the swelling monomer; transferring the swollen polymer to a reaction mixture containing at least one functional monomer; polymerizing the functional monomer in the reaction mixture containing the swollen polymer substrate for a period of time; and removing the polymer from the reaction mixture. Because the surface modification produced by the process is a surface interpenetrating polymer network, the process is not sensitive to the reactive groups located on the surface of the polymer substrate. Further, the surface interpenetrating network bonds to the polymer substrate through catemary connections or other forms of chain entanglement and thus is quite stable. Polymer substrates having the surface modification of the present invention arc capable of having a surface modification agent, such as heparin, adhere to the surface of the polymer substrate.

Abstract: Smooth, patterned substrates useful in producing decorative cookware are formed by coating a base with a mixture of fluoropolymer and magnetic flakes and magnetically inducing an image in the polymer coating composition. The baked fluoropolymer release coating contains magnetizable flakes, a portion of the flakes being oriented in the plane of the substrate and a portions of said flakes being magnetically reoriented to form a pattern in the coating which is observed in reflected light, the flakes having a longest dimension which is greater than the thickness of said coating. The patterned substrate is formed by applying magnetic force through the edges of a magnetizable die positioned under a coated base to induce an imaging effect or pattern. The coating composition in then cured resulting in a smooth surface, patterned nonstick finish on the substrate.

Abstract: A medical retrieval device 10 is disclosed comprising an elongated cylindrical member 11 that includes a continuum of a material 40, preferably a metal such as stainless steel or nitinol, that forms both the resilient grasping members 13 of retrieval basket 54, snare 26, or grasper forceps 23, and the proximal portion 21 or shaft of the device. The elongated cylindrical member can include a metal cannula 60 or solid rod 62 into which a series of laterally adjacent longitudinal slots 15 are cut or formed in the distal portion 37 of the elongated cylindrical member to form a plurality of resilient grasping members. These slots may be cut in a spiral configuration to produce a helical basket 69. The resilient grasping members in the original compact shape 17 are formed into an enlarged shape 18 to create a workspace volume 28 for the capture, manipulation and/or retrieval of an object within a patient. An external constraining device 14, such as an outer sheath, is used for introducing of the device and to compress the resilient grasping members over a calculus 24 or other object into a substantially closed position 30. An internal actuating member 29 within the passage 12 of the elongated cylindrical member can provide an alternative method of opening and closing the retrieval device. Using a small thin-walled cannula, retrieval devices of the present invention can fit through the accessory channel 46 of a small endoscope, such as an ureteroscope 44 while still having a sufficient lumen size to accommodate an ancillary treatment device 25 such as a standard 200 micron laser fiber or lithotripsy wire. The present invention also includes a retrieval device made from a plastic tube 32 having encased reinforcement wires 31. By removing all material 66 except the reinforcement wires from the distal portion of the elongated cylindrical member, the exposed wires can become the resilient grasping members of a basket or forceps.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour la transmission de données par l'intermédiaire d'une interface radio dans un système radiotéléphonique mobile GSM. Selon ce procédé, il est prévu, côté émission, une modulation de phase continue (CPM) des signaux d'émission pour les données à transmettre. Ce procédé consiste à employer une largeur de bande plus étroite que celle qui est utilisée lors d'une modulation à déplacement minimum gaussien (GMSK) avec une largeur de bande de modulation BT égale à 0,3, de sorte que l'interface radio mette à disposition au moins un canal à largeur de bande réduite. Côté réception, une détection des données est réalisée sans distinction des canaux présentant des largeurs de bande différentes. Ce procédé permet d'accroître considérablement la capacité dans les réseaux radiotéléphoniques mobiles et d'assister les applications de transmission de données asymétriques et intérieures.
