Abstract: Apparatus for a game of skill played simultaneously by several players (for example, a live television quiz game) whereby each participant player effectively competes only against players having a similar skill level in order to provide a strong motivation. The system includes a central computer system (11) with each remote participant or groups of participants having a control unit (12). The control unit (12) either stores and has supplied to it the particular skill level of the player and at the end of the game, only the relative scores at that particular skill level are indicated to that player. The system also provides for effective promotion or updating to a higher skill level of successful players of the game and/or game event. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An oil filter does not use filter paper but uses permanent magnets. In place of elements composed of filter paper in an oil filter, which uses filter paper, magnet type elements are used such that gaps between permanent magnets, of which an N pole and an N pole or a S pole and a S pole repulse each other, are made smaller to render lines of magnetic force more intense, and oil flows through the gaps to thereby generate turbulent flows and attract magnetic powder, an influence given by lines of magnetic force prevents deterioration of the oil, and a magnetic field space is obtained in a portion of a space occupied by filter paper in a conventional oil filter, which uses filter paper. Thus it is possible to further securely attract magnetic powder, and extend a period of time, during which the oil passes through a zone of lines of magnetic force. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device includes a calculation device which determines the width representing the transmission quality relative to the cell. It is determined if the width has a sufficient quality value as a ratio of a predetermined reference value and the cell selection threshold. If so, communication with the interested party is authorised relative to that cell. If the width is not sufficient, it is determined if the transmission quality has a sufficient value as a ratio of another predetermined reference value. The de-selection threshold for the cell is less than the selection threshold of the cell. The calling party establishes communications using that cell.

Abstract: A dental model articulator includes two hinge-jointed arms, each arm having segments connected at a hinge joint having mating elements, one integral to each segment of an arm. One element includes two cymbals that are coaxial on a major hinge axis and concave facing which resiliently capture between them a node of the mating element on the other segment which has the form of opposed, outwardly facing convexities. Multiaxial motion between the segments of each arm is accommodated by the rotation of the convexities of the node within detents at the apices of the cymbals. The extremities of each arm terminate in cylindrical rod-like elements that are parallel to the major hinge axis. The rods engage with transverse, cylindrical channels either cut-in, molded-in or affixed to the models. With the models positioned in centric occlusal relationship and the arms adjacently positioned and engaged, the four rods are adhesively fixed in the channels. Once fixed, the two hinge joints together define a single hinge axis posterior and interjacent to the models. Further, each hinge joint can allow the node elements to release from the axis detents and slide between the cymbals to permit protrusive and lateral masticatory motions between the dental models.

Abstract: A bread making machine having an automated dispenser unit and a pause function is described. The automated dispenser unit is integrated within a chamber lid covering a bread making chamber in which bread making ingredients are mixed, kneaded, and baked. The automated dispenser accepts certain ingredients, such as fruit and/or nuts, which are automatically added to the bread making chamber after significant processing of other ingredients in the bread making chamber has occurred. The automatic dispenser unit includes a dispenser door adjacent to the bread making chamber. The dispenser door is held in a closed position by a latch assembly. The latch assembly is mechanically linked to a solenoid core, which moves in response to a control signal issued by electronic control circuitry, causing the dispenser door to open. The bread making machine includes a pause function, which allows a user to temporarily suspend the bread making operation at any time, by pressing a pause key on a user interface keyboard. The bread making operation resumes after a selected time interval has elapsed. The selected time interval may be determined cither by the user or by the electronic control circuitry. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for metering of electric energy, which comprises a box-like case consisting of a bottom part (20) and of a cover part (30). The box contains various metering, control and equivalent modules (M, 50, 70, 80, 90) necessary in a meter. The box of the meter also contains a compartment (50), into which various auxiliary function cards (60) can be installed, such as receivers of network commands, communication means necessary for remote reading, and equivalent. This compartment (50) is opened into an opening (37) that has been formed in the forward edge (30c) of the cover part (30) of the meter box, so that the auxiliary function cards can be installed into the compartment (50) without opening the box of the meter. At the forward edge (20c) of the bottom part (20) of the meter box, a connector block (40) is placed, whose shield cover (100) also extends so that it covers the opening (37) on the cover part (30) of the box and, thus, the auxiliary function cards (60). Thus, the auxiliary function cards (60) are placed under the cover (100) of the connector block (40) and under its seal. Further, if necessary, the auxiliary function cards (60) can be locked in the compartment (50) so that they can be removed exclusively so that the cover (30) of the box is opened and that the calibration seal of the cover (30) is broken. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inputting a hand-generated character into a computer. A user draws a character using a drawing apparatus. As the user draws, movement of the apparatus and characteristics of such movement are detected. The apparatus generates a code for the character being drawn as a time dependent sequence of signals by comparing the characteristics of the movement as the character is drawn with a predetermined set of characteristics, with each signal corresponding to the predetermined characteristic closest to the actual characteristic detected at each successive step of movement. The apparatus provides visual feedback to the user by displaying in sequence each component of a character that is being drawn positionally independently of the movement of the drawing apparatus.

Abstract: A superporous hydrogel composite is formed by polymerizing one or more ethylenically-unsaturated monomers, and a multiolefinic crosslinking agent, in the presence of particles of a disintegrant and a blowing agent. The disintegrant, which rapidly absorbs water, serves to greatly increase the mechanical strength of the superporous hydrogel and significantly shorten the time required to absorb water and swell. Superporous hydrogel composites prepared by this method have an average pore size in the range of 10 mum to 3,000 mum. Preferred particles of disintegrant include natural and synthetic charged polymers, such as crosslinked sodium carboxymethylcellulose, crosslinked sodium starch glycolate, and crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone. The blowing agent is preferably a compound that releases gas bubbles upon acidification, such as NaHCO3. Improved hydrogel composites formed without a blowing agent are also provided.
