Title: Method for implementing a live dealer game
Inventor: MOSHAL MARTIN PAUL
IPC: A63F9/24
Filed: 2007-07-30
Abstract: A method for implementing a Live Dealer game is disclosed. A live feed of game-play at a gaming table is sent to a remote player. During play, a server receives an indication of a rank and suit of a dealt card. If the card has not yet been revealed at the gaming table, the server will delay transmitting to the remote player data indicating the rank and suit of the dealt card. Upon receipt of a status signal indicating that the card has been revealed at the gaming table, the server will transmit the data indicating the rank and suit of the dealt card to the remote player, thereby substantially synchronizing transmitting the data indicating the rank and suit of the dealt card to the remote player with revealing the card at the gaming table.

Title: Distortion-immune position tracking using frequency extrapolation
Inventor: GOVARI ASSAF
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 2007-08-20
Abstract: A method for tracking a position of an object includes generating alternating current (AC) magnetic fields at two or more frequencies in a vicinity of the object using at least one field generator. The AC fields are sensed using a field sensor associated with the object. Corresponding AC data points that are indicative of amplitudes and directions of the AC fields at the field sensor are produced, wherein at least some of the sensed AC fields are subject to a distortion. A dependence of the AC data points on the frequencies of the AC fields is extrapolated to a target frequency so as to determine the amplitudes and directions of the AC fields with a reduced level of the distortion. Position coordinates of the object relative to the at least one field generator are calculated responsively to the extrapolated data points.

Title: Compartmentalized resin pellets for oxygen scavenging
Inventor: FERRARI GIANLUCA
IPC: B29B13/02
Filed: 2006-05-05
Abstract: Disclosed is a process and article to simultaneously thermally treat at least two thermoplastics when one of the thermoplastics is an oxygen inert material and the other is an oxygen sensitive material, and the article also contains a promoter that converts the oxygen sensitive material to an oxygen reactive material when brought in contact with the oxygen sensitive material. The process utilizes the compartmentalized pellet, also known as a zoned pellet, construction wherein the major amount of each component is located within individual compartments or zones of the pellet such that the reactions with compounds in the atmosphere such as oxygen are less than the reaction if the thermoplastics were homogeneously dispersed in the pellet. This is of particular use to oxygen scavenging systems .

Title: Centralized management of maintenance and materials for commercial aircraft fleets
Inventor: THACKER GRANT H
IPC: G01M17/00
Filed: 2006-11-16
Abstract: Turnkey maintenance of a customer's aircraft fleet is managed by a single management service provider (MSP) controlling integrated maintenance and materials services from a central operations site. The MSP converts data received directly from on-board aircraft systems into information it uses to manage maintenance service providers and parts suppliers. The MSP contracts with and manages maintenance, repair and overhaul organizations (MROs) who perform the maintenance on the customers' aircraft at line and base stations.  The MSP either remotely manages part inventories at the customer's site, or manages suppliers who deliver the parts to the MROs. Maintenance planning, scheduling and execution information is exchanged between the MSP, MROs, part suppliers and the customers through a shared data communication network controlled by the MSP. The MSP charges the customer for the maintenance services based on a flat rate per unit of aircraft flying time.
