Title: Non-or minimally invasive monitoring methods
Inventor: BURKOTH TERRY L
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: Methods for detecting the presence or amount of an analyte present beneath a target skin or mucosal surface of an individual are provided. The methods entail disruption of the target skin or mucosal surface, for example using a particle delivery method to provide micro-passages in the tissue. The methods further provide a resealable occlusive dressing or patch for protecting the target site from outside agents as well as maintaining hydration of the sample area. Maintaining hydration over the sampling site allows for continuous diffusion of the analyte of interest from beneath the target site to the target site. Multiple samples over time may then be taken, allowing the user to monitor for the presence of analyte over time. In a preferred embodiment, the methods are used to monitor blood glucose levels. Figure 1 is a perspective view of resealable, occlusive dressing, with an aperture cover in a closed position.

Abstract: A replicate (10) can be secured to a blister package intended to contain articles, such as pills, and is used to record the removal of individual articles from the blisters. To remove an article from a blister (20) one wil l usually press against the blister to push the article through a frangible closure seal, breaking the seal in the process. The replicate includes a backing sheet (12) which carries a plurality of traces (14) alignable with corresponding blisters so that when the article is removed from the blister it will not only break the seal but it will also break the corresponding trace. All of the traces are connected to an integrated circuit (18) which may also be formed or provided on the backing sheet, as is a power source for the integrated circuit. The breaking of the trace is an event that is recorded i n the integrated circuit for later accessability. The replicate may be secured to the blister package after the package has been produced by conventional form-fill-seal equipment. The individual traces can be formed into a grid (5 0) of closely spaced traces so that alignment of the traces with the individual blisters is less critical. The replicates may be formed by printing or other conventional methods on a roll of lidstock. After forming the individual replicates are severedfrom the roll (12) of lidstock for securement to a blister package.

Title: Method and apparatus for wagering on a random chance event
Inventor: PIMIENTA HUGO
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2002-01-22
Abstract: The invention comprises a gaming environment that enables players to wager o n the final disposition of a random chance event, such as the outcome of a simulated coin flip, the roll of a dice, or any other random chance event. T he player sets a wager (102), registers an anticipated prediction such as heads or tails of the simulated coin flip (104), and then initiates the flipping o f the coin via a gaming interface that is connected to a gaming engine (106). The player wins when the gaming engine determines that the registered anticipated outcome is the same as the final disposition of the coin (108). When the player wins the player receives an increase in the player's account balance equal to a certain percentage of the wagered amount minus any game f ee (112, 114, 116). In the event that the registered prediction differs from th e final disposition of the coin, the entire wagered amount is subtracted from the account balance (110). The random number generator provides players with odds akin to that of an actual coin flip. Thus, the odds of winning in accordance with one embodiment of the invention are mathematically fifty percent each time the user flips the simulated coin.

Inventor: BASIC JOHN N SR
IPC: F23G5/46
Filed: 2003-06-12
Abstract: Incinerator dryer grates with temperature control provided by two-phase steam.  Very wet bulk refuse entering an incinerator sits on a grate before falling onto a hearth floor below. This drives off volatile hydrocarbons and allows drying. The grate may also provide combustion air. The drying process causes the moisture content of the refuse to fall below 50 percent where combustion may occur. Two-phase steam passes through separate channels in the grate to control its temperature. The oxygen-containing gas emanating from the grate into the combustion chamber may contain gaseous products of combustion, or flue gas, with or without air to make use of the former's heat and moisture content. When the flue gas contains chlorine, its temperature should, through the addition of cool air, fall within the range of 400~ to 750~ F. To avoid chlorine corrosion, blowers propelling the flue gas must either remain out of the gas stream entirely or should only contact the flue gas after cooled to this temperature range. For particulate or shredded refuse, a second grate staggered below the first achieves sufficient dwell time for the material to dry and lose its volatile hydrocarbons. A loader enters the incinerator to push the refuse onto the grate and limit the refuse' thickness so that the grate's gas can penetrate it.

Title: Method for separating microseismic signals from seismic signals emitted by one or several sources
Inventor: HUGUET FREDERIC
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2003-10-01
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for separating microseismic signals from seismic signals acquired in the context of active seismic monitoring operations of underground zones being exploited. It consists in producing seismic recordings from signals emitted by a single or several seismic sources monitored by signals orthogonal relative to one another. In that case the signals are processed to separate the respective contributions of the seismic sources to the received signals and reconstruct the seismograms equivalent to those which would be obtained by separately actuating the seismic sources. The induced microseismic signals (passive seismics) are separated from the seismic signals derived from sources 5 (active seismics) essentially by isolating the contribution of the latter, by comparison with a reference spectral model to the fundamental frequencies emitted and to their respective harmonics, and by reconstructing in the time domain the induced microseismic signals and the signals derived from the seismic sources 5. The invention is applicable to seismic monitoring of underground hydrocarbon or fluid storage reservoirs.
