Patent CA-2463416-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALZ MICHAEL F
IPC: G01R31/327
Filed: 2004-04-07
Abstract: The continuity of the coil of the actuating solenoid of an electric power switch is detected through utilization of a signaling device, such as a light emitting diode (LED) that monitors energization of a do power supply fed from the source side of the coil. A circuit energized from the other side of the coil generates a do voltage V2 that is applied to the gate electrode of an electronic switch shunting the LED. The voltage V2 is greater than the do supply voltage to bias the electronic switch off so that the LED is illuminated when there is continuity through the coil. If the coil fails, V2 will be zero and the electronic switch is turned on to short circuit the LED to signal the failure of the coil.

Inventor: BROWN LEO DALE
IPC: C10G55/04
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: A delayed coking process wherein substantially all of the coke produced is free-flowing anisotropic shot coke. A coker feedstock, such as a vacuum residuum, is treated with an oxidizing agent, such as air, to increase the level of one or more of asphaltenes, polars, and organically bound oxygen groups.

Title: Gaming machine with automatic sound level adjustment and method therefor
Inventor: CANNON THOMAS B
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2003-08-06
Abstract: A system and method (130) for automatically adjusting the sound volume of a gaming machine (100) based on the ambient noise level (810) to an appropriate level. The gaming machine (100) may implement an open loop control algorithm (300) when the machine's sound output is inactive as determined, e.g., by software (110), or by analyzing samples from a soundboard (120, 120~). A  closed loop control algorithm (310) may be implemented when the gaming machine (100) is active. Alternatively, the machine (100) may implement only an open loop algorithm (300) that provides volume adjustment only when the machine's sound output is inactive, in which case the adjusted volume is maintained through an active period, then adjusted again at the next inactive period. A  saturation back off feature (1016, 1017) prevents the sound level of the gaming machine (100) from escalating to, and remains at, a maximum, saturation level.

Title: Methods and devices for intramuscular stimulation of upper airway and swallowing muscle groups
Inventor: BURNETT THERESA
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: Devices and methods were discovered that successfully provided patient autonomous control of both hyolaryngeal elevation, anterior hyoid motion and opening of the upper esophageal sphincter for swallowing by intramuscular stimulation of two muscles. The technology allows patient self stimulation of swallowing and can return oral feeding to dysphagia patients. Indwelling electrode stimulation of only two muscles generated as much as 80 % of normal synergistic movement leading to swallowing. The devices and methods also are useful for control of other upper respiratory muscle groups involved in speech and voice. Calibration techniques may be used in combination for greater freedom in setting and using electrodes over extended implantation time periods. These methods and devices can control complex movements of body solids such as bone and cartilage and tissues by electro stimulation of a minimum set of muscles simultaneously.
