Patent CA-2447253-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GO GIOK DJIEN
IPC: B60R22/18
Filed: 1998-11-10
Abstract: A multi-point seat-belt includes two shoulder-belt portions, a lap-belt portion, master release-button, belt-feeding device and multi-attachment points. Both shoulder-belt portions extend crosswise over the upper body-part of the body of a passenger in an X-shape and the lap-belt portion restrains the lower body-part when a shoulder- and main latch-plate are plug-in connected to an upper and main buckle-assembly. Serving as transition-products multi-point seat-belts are defined by conventional three-point seat-belts and new parts.        The user-friendliness is enhanced - by a belt-feeding device, which, when activated, moves the first shoulder-belt portion to extend across over the upper body-part, - by the master release-button, which, when depressed, releases all latch-plates and/or returns the belt-feeding device to the home position, - by a radial-adjusting movement of the radial-adjustable tube preventing interference with the head with/without hat, and - by an assisting buckle-assembly, storing the released main latch-plate easily accessible by the passenger.

Title: Method and apparatus for pulsed electromagnetic therapy
Inventor: GORDON GLEN A
IPC: A61N2/04
Filed: 2003-12-31
Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying pulsed electromagnetic therapy to humans and animals. A straight wire element is employed to generate the magnetic field. A power and timer circuit supplies current pulses that approximate square pulses in form, so that the straight wire element generates magnetic pulses having rapid rise and fall times. Peak field strength is approximately 2 gauss at a 1 cm distance from the straight wire element, and the duration of peak field strength is approximately 200 nanoseconds. The pulses are repeated at a frequency of about 70 Hz. The straight wire element and circuit may be housed in a hand-held probe, with an LED illuminating the skin area to provide a visual indication of effective range, or a plurality of the straight wire elements and associated circuits may be embedded in a conformable pad that is placed over the affected area of the body.

Abstract: A multi-property comp bank is provided which allows comp paints to be earned and redeemed in an aggregated manner at a plurality of affiliated casino properties. The comp bank includes two constituents, namely a first bank account of comp points for each casino patron having a balance that is visible to the patron, accessible by the patron, and directly redeemable by the patron, and a second bank account of comp points having a balance that is invisible to the patron, accessible only by authorized casino employees, and redeemable on a discretionary basis only by authorized casino employees. Each award of comp points is apportioned between the patron's first and second bank accounts according to a predetermined ratio.  The comp points in the first bank account can be aggregated across properties and redeemed at any property, whereas the comp points in the second bank account can only be redeemed at the property in which they were earned. A plurality of regional computers are provided for implementing the multi-property comp bank. Each regional computer is associated with a predefined number of affiliated casino properties in a particular geographical region. Each regional computer stores bank accounts of comp points for each casino patron of an affiliated. casino property who is an active player in the respective region. Upon receiving a comp points balance or redemption request of a patron at one of the affiliated casino properties, the regional computer associated with the affiliated casino property communicates with each of the other regional computers that contains bank accounts for the same patron to obtain the comp points balance for the patron in each of the other regional computers. In this manner, the requesting regional computer thereby obtains the total comp points balance for the patron within the casino enterprise.
