Patent CA-2857568-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COMEAU BRIAN
IPC: A63F13/25
Filed: 2014-07-21
Abstract: A video slot machine has M reels, each displaying N symbols when stopped.  Above the display of the reels is a set of generally valuable replacement symbols that have been independently selected at random independent from the reel display. Each reel is associated with a particular replacement symbol in the set. If a special symbol is displayed on a reel, the replacement symbol associated with that reel substitutes for the special symbol when determining the award. Examples of the replacement symbols include wild symbols, bonus symbols, and multiplier symbols. After each game, the replacement symbols are shifted, and used replacement symbols are randomly replaced to vary the possibilities for each game.  The player is incentivized to play longer due to the possibility of using valuable replacement symbols in the symbol array and the possibility of very high awards being granted by multiple special symbols being displayed.

Title: Gesture recognition devices and methods
Inventor: MOSCARILLO THOMAS J
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2013-02-25
Abstract: Devices and related methods are disclosed herein that generally involve detecting and interpreting gestures made by a user to generate user input information for use by a digital data processing system. In one embodiment, a device includes first and second sensors that observe a workspace in which user gestures are performed. The device can be set to a keyboard input mode, a number pad input mode, or a mouse input mode based on the positioning of the user's hands. Subsequent gestures made by the user can be interpreted as keyboard inputs, mouse inputs, etc., using observed characteristics of the user's hands and various motion properties of the user's hands. These observed characteristics can also be used to implement a security protocol, for example by identifying authorized users by the anatomical properties of their hands or the behavioral properties exhibited by the user while gesturing.

Inventor: HAQUE WAQAR UL
IPC: G06Q50/22
Filed: 2014-10-20
Abstract: This invention is a software module which interfaces with any underlying EMR  (Electronic Medical Record) system to track and maximize billings under the Family Practice Incentive Program (FPIP). The invention does so by providing Physicians with an interactive, browser based interface for managing and completing steps required by incentives-based healthcare guidelines prescribed for specific conditions such as chronic disease management, complex care, and palliative care. In addition, the invention also encompases a set of reports and dashboards aimed at helping Physicians and their MOAs (Medical Office Assistants) identify areas of clinical and financial opportunities as they relate to the FPIP. This invention is novel in the context that it brings a simplified, visual and reportable mechanism to achieve a process that is all too often manual, time consuming and lidden with errors due to lack of understanding of lengthy and complex rules required to complete potential incentive claims.  The invention thus maximizes the revenue streams generated via the FPIP.

Patent CA-2887935-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LARKIN DAVID W
IPC: F22B13/00
Filed: 2015-04-13
Abstract: Method.s and systems generate steam for oil recovery operations. The systems may limit feedwater pretreatment expenses and fouling issues. In the method, dirty feedwater introduced into a vessel containing a hot liquid hydrocarbon, e.g., an already hot produced hydrocarbon, contacts the hydrocarbon and is vaporized into steam. The steam collects in a top of the vessel and may be conveyed to the wellhead for downhole injection. The hydrocarbon remains heated by a closed circulation loop passing hack and forth through a lower half of the vessel containing the hydrocarbon. The fluid in this loop remains isolated from contaminates in the water to limit fouling in tubes, which form the loop and can employ normal metallurgy to save on capital costs. The hydrocarbon can be treated as needed to remove accumulating salts and/or entrained water and recycled.

Title: Assembly for toe-to-heel gravel packing and reverse circulating excess slurry
Inventor: BROUSSARD JOHN P
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2015-05-20
Abstract: A treatment assembly treats zones of a horizontal borehole. For example, the assembly can gravel pack a zone by delivering slurry down a workstring.  The slurry exits the workstring's outlet and pass to the borehole annulus of the zone through a flow port in the assembly. The gravel in the slurry can pack the borehole in an alpha-beta wave from toe to heel, and the fluid returns from the borehole flow through a screen back into the assembly. After gravel packing, operators remove excess slurry from the workstring by reverse circulating down the assembly to carry the excess slurry uphole through the workstring. Closures on the assembly prevent the reverse circulation from communicating through the screens to the borehole annulus. Additionally, flow valves can be used on the flow ports to selectively open and close them.
