Abstract: Le procédé consiste à organiser un jeu sur des ordinateurs personnels des utilisateurs reliés au moyen d'un réseau avec le serveur. On forme une vitesse de déplacement constante des images d'objets en déplacement. On introduit dans le logiciel deux nombres aléatoires. On met en oeuvre un dispositif permettant aux utilisateurs de modifier la vitesse de déplacement des images, qui n'assure que deux états de signaux de commande pour modifier la vitesse. Chacun de ces deux états dudit dispositif est coordonné avec un des deux nombres aléatoires. Si un des états coïncide avec un des nombres aléatoires, on modifie la vitesse de déplacement des images d'objets en déplacement. Si l'état du dispositif ne coïncide pas avec le nombre aléatoire, la vitesse initiale est maintenue. La course est terminée lorsque l'image a pris une position déterminée à l'écran ou après l'écoulement d'un temps préétabli. Le jeu comprend plusieurs étapes, qui comprennent au moins une course. Le gagnant de chaque étape se voit attribuer un classement de qualification, ce qui permet d'organiser le jeu parmi les participants ayant le même classement de qualification. Le générateur comprend un tambour fait transparent et rotatif. Ce tambour contient des boules absorbant la lumière et des boules réfléchissant la lumière. Un faisceau provenant d'une source lumineuse est dirigé dans la région dans laquelle sont disposées les boules. La photocellule est montée de façon à permettre la réception du faisceau réfléchi par les boules.

Title: Methods for creating optical structures in dielectrics using controlled energy deposition
Inventor: RAYNER DAVID
IPC: B23K26/00
Filed: 2001-08-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for writing an optical structure within a workpiece of a dielectric material using FLDM. In a first embodiment system parameters for the FLDM are determined in dependence upon the dielectric material, a predetermined volume element and a predetermined change of the refractive index of the dielectric material within the predetermined volume element. The system parameters are determined such that self-focusing of a pulsed femtosecond laser beam is inhibited by non-linear absorption of the energy of the pulsed femtosecond laser beam within the dielectric material. A pulsed femtosecond laser beam based on the determined system parameters is focused at a predetermined location within the workpiece for inducing a change of the refractive index through dielectric modification within the predetermined volume element, the volume element including the focus. Various embodiments enable writing of various different optical structures into a workpiece.

Title: Enhancers for microbiological disinfection and targeted apoptosis
Inventor: SHANBROM EDWARD
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 2001-10-23
Abstract: Simple carboxylic acids, in particular dicarboxylic acids such as citric acid shows an unexpected ability to enhance the antimicrobial power of a wide range of disinfectant and/or antibiotic agents. As little as 1 % citrate greatly enhances the ability of antibiotics to kill or inhibit a wide range of bacterial species including antibiotic resistant strains. Citrate alone is effective in preventing bacterial growth in platelet concentrates and in red blood cell suspensions. Effective concentrations of citrate cause little if any damage to blood cells. Besides enhancing the power of antibiotics citrate also enhances the antimicrobial properties of disinfectant organic dyes such as crystal violet and methylene blue. In addition citrate enhances the antimicrobial properties of polyphenols of plant origin. Iodine-based disinfectants are also enhanced without enhancing protein denaturation. In addition, citrate also enhances the ability of glucocorticoids to augment apoptosis of lymphoid cells.

Title: Time slot scheduling for shared-medium communications networks
Inventor: GRANT MICHAEL
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 2002-04-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for allocating time slots in a communications network, comprising a headend, a plurality of outstations, and a shared medium connecting each outstation to the headend. The method involves scheduling timeslots for each outstation responsive to the measures of distance of each outstation from the headend. The method reduces the requirement for guard bands between timeslots, since it obviates allocation of a guard band between consecutive first and second timeslots where the outstation allocated the second timeslot is located no closer to the headend than the outstation allocated the first time slot. Ideally, the timeslots are allocated to outstations cyclically in ascending order of distance of the outstations from the headend, with the closest outstation following the farthest to complete the cycle, so that guard bands are rendered unnecessary between the majority of timeslots. In preferred embodiments distance may be round-trip delay, and the outstations and head end may be configured to form a ring network.
Patent CA-2443119-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KATOH YUTAI
IPC: C04B35/575
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: A powdery mixture of fine SiC powder with one or more oxide sintering additives of Al2O3, Y2O3, SiO2 and CaO is blended and uniformly dispersed in a polymeric SiC precursor to prepare a matrix-forming polymeric slurry. A preform of SiC fiber, which has quasi-stoichiometric composition with high crystallinity, is impregnated with the polymeric slurry and then hot-pressed at a temperature of 1600°C or higher in presence of a liquid phase. Since the heat-resistant SiC fiber is used as strengthening fiber, the prepreg is sintered to a dense SiC composite excellent in mechanical properties by one-step hot-pressing.

Title: Self-aspirating high-area-ratio inter-turbine duct assembly for use in a gas turbine engine
Inventor: KIRTLEY KEVIN
IPC: F01D9/04
Filed: 2003-10-09
Abstract: In various embodiments, the present invention provides a means for improving gas turbine engine performance by applying fluid flow control to the inter-turbine duct (20) joining a high-pressure turbine spool (17) and an associated low-pressure turbine spool (15), allowing the low-pressure turbine spool (15) to have a relatively larger diameter than the high-pressure turbine spool (17). One or more unobstructed fluid flow paths (27) between one or more boundary layer suction ports (44) disposed within the upstream end (22) of the outer-body surface (32) of the inter- turbine duct (20) and the suction side of the associated low-pressure turbine nozzle (12) are provided. Advantageously, the natural static pressure difference between these points results in a self aspirating assembly (10). The fluid flow control provided by the respective suction and blowing forces generated allows for a relatively larger diameter low-pressure turbine spool (15) and/or relatively fewer low-pressure turbine nozzles (12) to be used than is possible with conventional systems, assemblies, and methods. Thus, a gas turbine engine weight savings and optimized performance may be achieved.

IPC: A61K9/16
Filed: 2002-05-10
Abstract: The present invention pertains to a pharmaceutical dosage from comprising an opioid agonist and one or more opioid antagonists contained in a matrix separate from the opioid agonist. The separate matrix for the opioid antagonist allows independent release rates to be achieved for the opioid and opioid antagonist(s). The antagonist(s) can be released slowly or fully contained when the tablet is taken orally. Crushing the tablet allows full release of the antagonist(s), deterring abuse. The abuse deterring antagonist(s) may be an opioid antagonist, an irritant, another appropriate antagonist(s), or a combination thereof. The invention also allows variable release of the opioid and antagonist(s).
