Title: Method and apparatus for gaming device software configuration
Inventor: BRECKNER ROBERT
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2002-06-10
Granted: 2012-07-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for packaging, distributing, installing, deleting, or updating gaming software is disclosed. In one embodiment the method and apparatus of the invention identifies a plurality of files, which may exceed hundreds of files, to be distributed, installed, or provided as updates. The plurality of files are selected and processed into a reduced number of files, often a single file (406). The single file contains all of the plurality of files and is capable of being further processed to restore the plurality of files and the directory structure of the plurality of files. This provides the advantage of having to only perform distribution, tracking, or other related functions on a single file instead of up to hundreds of files at a time. Similar advantages are gained when updating software on a machine because the entire set of software files to be updated may be packaged into a single file and subsequently deleted. Thereafter, a single file may be copied on to the machine (410) and processed to restore files and directory structure of the updated software.

Title: Methods of treatment using an epithelial sodium channel blocker and an inhibitor of the mineralocorticoid receptor
Inventor: BUBIEN JAMES
IPC: A61P9/12
Filed: 2002-04-19
Granted: 2008-10-07
Abstract: Co-administration of a channel blocking epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blocker in conjunction with a mineralocorticoid receptor inhibitor makes it possible to achieve desired lowering of blood pressure with use in the range of 20% to 75% or less of the presently used dosage of the mineralocorticoid receptor inhibitor (MRI), thus avoiding many of the deleterious side effects usually associated with administration of an MRI. As little as 10% of the usual dosage of MRI may, in some cases, be efficacious. The most commonly used EnaC blocker now in use is amiloride. The most commonly used inhibitors of the mineralocorticoid receptor are precursors of canrenone.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à une nouvelle combinaison d'intégration hyperfréquence et photonique pour obtenir un modulateur à interféromètre Mach-Zender compact et autonome. Le caractère du polymère optique non linéaire, c'est à dire, son grand coefficient électro-optique réduit les besoins de commande pour l'amplificateur de puissance intégré (202), permettant l'utilisation d'un amplificateur de petite à moyenne dimension. Les techniques d'intégration d'interconnexions à haute densité hyperfréquence permet la fabrication d'un amplificateur de puissance moyenne en un ensemble de petite dimension, qui peut être monté directement sur un substrat de type à interféromètre Mach-Zender. L'amplificateur et modulateur intégré permet une dimension réduite et une consommation d'énergie plus faible, et une bande passante nettement améliorée par rapport aux dispositifs existants à base de matériau organiques.

Title: Wireless packet communication method and wireless packet communication apparatus
Inventor: OTSUKI SHINYA
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2004-07-14
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A transmit-side STA transmits a wireless packet using a wireless channel which has been determined to be idle by both a physical carrier sense for determining based on received power whether the wireless channel is busy or idle and a virtual carrier sense for determining the wireless channel to be busy during set transmission inhibition time. At this time, the transmit-side STA sets transmission time used for the virtual carrier sense to a paired wireless channel which is affected by leakage from a transmitting wireless channel. This allows for setting transmission inhibition time to a paired wireless channel even when the paired wireless channel cannot successfully receive due to the effect caused by leakage from the transmitting wireless channel.
