Patent EP-1704930-A3 (EP)
Inventor: TRAVIS ROBIN CLIVE
IPC: B07B1/50
Filed: 2006-03-21
Abstract: A self-cleaning grid arrangement (11, 19) is provided for use in bulk materials handling, e.g. quarry, chemical, waste or recycling industries during the conveyance of particulate material to prevent the passage of oversize particles or foreign objects to the destination of the particulate material. The grid arrangement (11) is formed of a first set bars (12) disposed substantially parallel with each other, the bars (12) extending between and being supported in holes (14, 21) in the sides (13, 22) of a chute (10) in which the bars (12) are free to rotate and/or reciprocate lengthways. At least some of the bars (12) have disturber plates (31) extending upwardly therefrom spaced along their length. As a result of such rotation and/or reciprocation, if particulate material does stick to or coagulate above a bar (12), there will be a lesser tendency for any material to bridge to an adjacent bar (12) and an increased tendency for the particulate material to fall between the bars (12). The bars (12) are curved along their length and have a radius of curvature greater than the length of the bars (12) between the sides (13). Each bar (12) has one end (16) depending from the remainder of the bar (12) in the direction away from the centre of curvature of the bar (12). A second set (19) of bars (20) that are substantially parallel with each other, is disposed substantially at right angles to the first set of bars (12). The bars (12, 20) may be inclined, and bars (26) may be tapered towards their lower ends. The support structure for the bars (12, 20) has inner (13) and outer (32) side plates so that particulate material passing through the holes (14) in the inner side plates (13) pass through a passageway (33) between the side plates (13) and outer side plates (32) and are returned to the lower part 28 of the chute (10).

Abstract: A disclosed gaming machine provides methods and apparatus for operating a wireless game player that presents a game of chance executed on a gaming machine in communication with the wireless game player. In one embodiment, the wireless game player is a hand-held mobile device, electronically linked to a licensed gaming machine via a wireless connection. All random number generation (RNG) events, game outcomes, meter information, game related information, and all cash transactions are maintained in the licensed (controlled) gaming machine and not the wireless game player. The wireless game player may be used anywhere within the legal areas of the casino and it has the capability of identifying who is using it. For example, a biometric input device, such as a finger print reader may be used on the wireless game player to identify the player. Thus, the issue of under-age or excluded players is addressed.

Abstract: A keyed power source connector and keyed device connector that are backwards compatible, ensuring that the power rated device connectors can only mate with power source connectors power rated at or above the device connector power rating. One connector is formed as a plug, and the other connector is formed as a socket. The connectors have peripheral contoured body portions having a profile being a function of the respective connector power rating. A keyed portion of the power source connector plug will physically interfere with and not be receivable within a device connector socket when the device connector power rating exceeds the power source connector power rating. This connector system ensures target portable electronic devices coupled to the device connector cannot draw power exceeding the rating of the power source connector.

Abstract: A working depth adjusting device (20) includes an adjusting member (21), an intermediate member (22) and an operation member (23). The adjusting member (21) is supported on the front portion of the tool body (2) and movable along the axis (J) of the spindle (8), so that the position of the adjusting member (21) can be adjusted relative to the tool bit (12) with respect to a working depth direction. The intermediate member (22) is rotatably supported on the adjusting member (21). The adjusting member (21) moves in the working depth direction as the intermediate member (22) rotates. The operation member (23) is operable to rotate relative to the intermediate member (22) between a lock position and an unlock position. The intermediate member (22) has an engaging member (24). When the operation member (23) is rotated to the lock position, the engaging member (24) engages the tool body (2), and the engagement of the engaging member (24) is maintained by the operation member (23), so that the working depth adjusting device (20) can be prevented from being removed from the tool body (2). When the operation member (23) is rotated to the unlock position, the engaging member (24) is disengaged from the tool body (2), so that the working depth adjusting device (20) can be removed from the tool body (2).

Abstract: An operation control circuit carries out a first access operation upon receipt of a first access command during activation of a chip enable signal (CE), and carries out a second access operation accessing a memory core (30) in a shorter time than the first access operation, upon receipt of the next access command during activation of the chip enable signal (CE). For this reason, two types of access operations whose access times differ can be carried out by receiving the same access command at the same access terminal. A dedicated terminal for distinguishing between the two types of operations does not need to be formed in a controller, etc., which accesses a semiconductor memory. Selective use of the first and second access operations improves the operation efficiency of the semiconductor memory. Consequently, the operation efficiency of the semiconductor memory can be improved without increasing the cost of a system incorporating the semiconductor memory.

Abstract: An image pickup device includes: a pickup unit for capturing an image; a background image processor for determining a pickup object area to be captured to be an illumination image, and displaying the pickup object area as a background image; a display for displaying the background image; and a main controller for generating a control signal capable of controlling the pickup unit, the background image processor, and the display. The image pickup device projects the illumination image (e.g., the white image) instead of the background image on the screen, such that the person's image does not overlap with the background image during the image pickup action. A brightness level of the object image in the corrected pickup picture is adjusted according to a brightness level of the background image, such that the object image can be more naturally harmonized with the background image.
