Title: A card game
Inventor: SCIBETTA JOSEPH
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2002-04-12
Abstract: The method of the present invention involves a card game in which at least one card, and preferably six cards, are dealt to at least one player position, and preferably seven player positions. To initiate a round of play, the player makes a wager to elect to play one or more of the seven player positions. A number of cards are then dealt to each of the player positions and a dealer position. An upturned card from each player position is compared with an upturned card from the dealer position and a winning status occurs for each wagered position in which the player's upturned card has a higher ranking than the dealer's upturned card.

Abstract: A resilient, insulated door panel (21) for a sliding door includes a resilie nt core (32) protected by a compliant outer covering (40) with a seal (50, 52) disposed about the perimeter of the panel. The panel (21) has sufficient resilience to recover from an impact that temporarily deforms it, yet has sufficient rigidity to transmit a compressive force needed for effectively setting the seals. Much of the core (32) is filled with air to not only provide effective insulation and resilience, but to also provide an extremel y light-weight door panel that can be operated to travel rapidly along an overhead track. Some embodiments include relatively rigid backup plates (36)  that provide a solid foundation to which the perimeter seals (50, 52) can be  attached. The backup plates (36) are segmented so as not to completely restrict the flexibility of the door panel (21).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de test permettant d'estimer si un ensemble, qui comprend au moins des composants tels qu'un joint d'étanchéité (1) et un substrat (2) contre lequel est pressé le joint d'étanchéité, a une tendance au crissement lors du mouvement du joint d'étanchéité (1) par rapport au substrat (2). Pour faire une estimation de cette tendance, on utilise au moins un accéléromètre permettant de détecter si des vibrations sont générées dans l'ensemble en question lorsque le joint d'étanchéité est déplacé par rapport au substrat, notamment au moyen d'un oscillateur (15). A la différence des procédés existants, fondés sur des mesures acoustiques, le procédé de test de la présente invention n'est pas influencé par les bruits de fond, ce qui rend superflue l'isolation sonore.

Title: Power saving technique for pulse-echo acoustic ranging systems
Inventor: LYON GEORGE QUINTON
IPC: G01S15/10
Filed: 2002-07-23
Abstract: A power saving system and method for the analog-to-digital converter stage in a time of flight ranging system. A receiving echo signal having an envelope is converted into a digital form suitable for further processing by sampling the received echo signal envelope at precise intervals to obtain amplitude measurement points. An interpolation function is applied between each pair of adjacent amplitude measurement points. The application of the interpolation function provides a closer approximation of the shape of the received echo signal envelope without the need to use higher sampling rates which means slower analog-to-digital converters may be utilized resulting in power and cost savings.

Title: Cooling therapies/device for angioplasty with restenosis
Inventor: DOBAK JOHN D III
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: The present invention provides an enhanced method and device to inhibit or reduce the rate of restenosis following angioplasty or stent placement. The invention involves placing a balloon tipped catheter (100) in the area treated or opened through balloon angioplasty immediately following angioplasty. The balloon, which can have a dual balloon structure, may be delivered through a guiding catheter (102) and over a guidewire already in place from a balloon angioplasty. A fluid such as a perfluorocarbon may be flowed into the balloon to freeze the tissue adjacent the balloon, this cooling being associated with reduction of restenosis. The catheter may also be used to reduce atrial fibrillation by inserting and inflating the balloon such that an exterior surface of the balloon is in contact with at least a partial circumference of the portion of the pulmonary vein adjacent the left atrium.

Title: A key and lock device utilizing non-authorised and authorised key lists
Inventor: KRUHN JURGEN
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2001-03-09
Abstract: A key and lock device comprises a key and a stand-alone lock. The key has an electronic circuitry with a first memory, and a first contact. The lock has an electronic circuitry with a second memory means, and a second contact means arranged to co-operate with the first contact means. Also, there is a blocking mechanism adapted to block operation of the lock unless an authorised key is inserted in the lock. The memory of the key stores a public identification item of the key identifying a group of keys having identical mechanical codes. In the memory of the lock, there is provided a list of the public and secret identification items of authorised keys and a list of the public identification item of non-authorised keys.   A key is authorised if the public and secret identification items are present in the list of authorised keys and the public identification item thereof is absent in the list of non-authorised keys. This provides for an easy and flexible way of authorising key and lock devices and adding new keys to a system.

Title: Folded sagnac sensor array
Inventor: VAKOC BENJAMIN A
IPC: H04R1/44
Filed: 2001-03-02
Abstract: A folded Sagnac fiber optic acoustic sensor array (1200) operates in a manner similar to a Sagnac Interferometer but uses a common delay path to reduce distributed pickup in downlead fibers. The fiber optic acoustic sensor (716) is used to detect acoustic waves in water. By basing the folded Sagnac sensor array on the operating principles similar to the Sagnac interferometer rather than basing the array on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the sensor array has a stable bias point, has reduced phase noise, and allows a broadband signal source to be used rather than requiring a more expensive narrowline laser. A large number of acoustic sensors (718(N)) can be multiplexed into the architecture of the folded Sagnac fiber optic acoustic array.

Title: Book containing model components combinable to form a three dimensional model
Inventor: BECKER JAMES F
IPC: B42D1/00
Filed: 2002-11-06
Abstract: The invention provides a book containing a three dimensional model assembly made from a plurality of model components attached to respective pages in the book.  The model can be a human body or anything desired. When the book is closed, the model components combine to form a completely assembled model assembly that is thinner than the book. Thus, the book can lie flat on either its front or back cover on a flat surface. When the book is open, and as a reader turns each page, the model components attached to the respective page separate from the model assembly revealing other components that remain combined to form a partially assembled model assembly. The components can be fixedly or hingedly attached to respective pages with bars, flaps or both. If hingedly attached, the model components can be separated from the model assembly without turning a respective page.

Abstract: The communique system for cellular communication networks operates with existing cellular communication networks to provide communique communication services to subscribers. The Communique transmission to an individual subscriber can be managed using the hand off capability of the cellular communication network. Thus, if the subscriber roams out of the narrowcast coverage area, the communique transmission to the subscriber is extended from the narrowcast coverage area via an "umbilical" connection on a point-to-point basis using the existing capabilities of the cellular communication network.  This enables uninterrupted service for the subscriber even if the subscriber does not continue to remain within the narrowcast coverage area.
