Title: Twin configuration for increased life time in touch mode electrostatic actuators
Inventor: CABUZ EUGEN L
IPC: H01H59/00
Filed: 1999-11-30
Abstract: An electrostatic actuator and drive configuration device for use in a system requiring a long term ON state operation. The device includes a first electrostatic actuator positioned to operate in the system requiring the long term ON state upon activation of a power supply. The device also includes a second electrostatic actuator positioned to operate in the system requiring the long term ON state upon activation of the power supply. A timer is connected to the power supply to alternately select the first or the second actuator for activation to drive the selected actuator to the ON state. The timer is controlled to select the first or second electrostatic actuator on an alternating basis to prevent either electrostactic actuator from remaining in the ON state for more than a predetermined time without the other actuator being selected. The electrostatic actuators may be configured in parallel or in series, depending upon the demands of the system. When the electrostatic actuators are switches, linear actuators or relays, they are normally connected side by side mechanically parallel. When the actuators are shutters, mirrors or valves, normal connection is in sequence end to end.  When devices are selected to be in the ON condition, the selection should be such that each device is closed before the other is opened.

Title: X-ray measurement of resin distribution in a cellulosic material
Inventor: FENG MARTIN W
IPC: G01N23/223
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: A method for measuring bonding agent content and distribution in a composite product that includes bonding agent and cellulosic material. The method involves using a bonding agent that includes electronegative functional groups and an X-ray active cationic label bonded with the functional groups in the manufacture of the composite product. The cellulosic material is exposed to X-rays to generate a characteristic fluorescence signal from the label. The X-ray fluorescence of the label is measured to determine the amount and distribution of the label in the cellulosic material and thereby the amount and distribution of the bonding agent in the composite product. The present invention also provides a bonding agent composition useful for determining the distribution of the bonding agent in a composite product comprising a bonding agent containing electronegative functional groups and a label compound that includes positively charged ions to emit characteristic fluorescence when exposed to X-rays. The bonding agent and the label compound are homogeneously mixed.

Inventor: EFREMOV IVAN PAVLOVICH
IPC: A63F1/00
Filed: 2001-10-19
Abstract: The method of entertainment "Stos" is an adaptation for casinos, video game machines and computers of the most popular game of chance in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is also known as Bank Table, Shtoss and Pharaon. In a casino, the game takes place on a table on which there is a game field with suit-less cards and four suit cards: spades (~), clubs (*), diamonds (~) and hearts (~). The game generally uses one or several standard 52-card decks. The players bet that the card they select will be dealt out of the deck on an even interval. To do so, they place their chips on a suit-less card that they pick on the game field. They may also predict the suit of their card by placing a bet on one of the suit cards. After the cards are shuffled and cut, the dealer places the cards face down on the table and draws the cards in order, two at a time. All bets on a card are considered played as soon as the first matching card is dealt from the deck. The player loses if the card upon which he bet turns up in the odd column and he wins if it falls in the even one.
