Abstract: A multi-player gaming platform includes a large visual display and a plurality
of player terminals coupled to the visual display. The visual display indicates a game
of chance including a single play field and a plurality of movable game pieces. The
game pieces are associated with the respective player terminals. In response to a
wager placed at one of the player terminals, the game piece associated with that
terminal moves along or near the play field and generates a game outcome. The game
outcome may be defined by the game piece itself or where the game piece lands on the
play field. The game awards a payoff if the game outcome meets winning criteria.
The wager placed at the one of the player terminals is independent of any other wagers
placed at the other player terminals and is independent of when the other wagers are
placed. Similarly, the game piece associated with the one of the player terminals
operates independent of the game pieces associated with the other player terminals.
There is no actual player-to-player interaction--the players merely make use of the
same play field. Therefore, the gaming platform allows players to join the game of
chance at any time and to place wagers, make any necessary selections, and play the
game at their own pace.

Abstract: A method for encoding and decoding for identifying a medicine
comprising:
   a) encoding a code surface by attaching a number of
conductive stripes on a non-conductive layer, where the
length of each stripe represents a certain value;   b) reading the code by attaching an array of contacts to the
code surface wherein reading method is:
   the conductive stripes make a common connection
between some of the contacts while the rest of the
contacts remain isolated, which determines "isolated
contacts" and "connected contacts";   the amount of connected contacts of each segment of
the array recognizes the length of each conductive
stripe;       c) decoding the code by recognizing a combination of values
according to the length of the stripes.

Abstract: According to the present invention, an injection nozzle
of the fuel injection valve has an orifice plate (52).
A needle (25) and the orifice plate (52) are arranged such that a flow directed
uniformly toward the orifice plate (52) is induced in a flat flow
passage between a needle flat surface (82) and the orifice
plate inlet surface (52a), and the fuel flows collide with each
other just above the orifice inlet and then the fuel is
injected from the orifice plate (52). Accordingly, the internal
energy of the fuel can be effectively taken out in a form of
disturbance of collision, the fuel can be effectively changed
into fine particles, and at the same time the fuel atomization
having a superior directional characteristic can be obtained.

Abstract: A transmitter for transmitting at least a first and a second main signal component
(L+R) is disclosed, having at least two input terminals(1,90) for receiving the at least two input
signals. The transmitter comprises multiplexer means (111') for multiplexing the at least two
input signals to a first input (11') of matrixing means (13'), and to an input of first bitrate
reducing means (BRR1). The first bitrate reducing means is for carrying out a data reduction
step on the signal applied to its input and to supply a data reduced version to an output.
Expansion means (7') are present, having an input coupled to the first bitrate reducing means
(BRR1), for carrying out a data expansion on the data information applied to its input, so as to
obtain a replica of the signal applied to the input of the bitrate reducing means at an output. Said
output is coupled to a second input (12') of the matrixing means (13'). An output (14') of the
matrixing means (13') is coupled to signal combination means (29) via second bitrate reducing
means (BRR2). The output of the first bitrate reducing means (BRR1) is also coupled to the
combination means (29). The signal combination means (29) is adapted to combine the signals
so as to enable the transmission of those output signals. Conversion means (SPL2,SPL3) are
provided between the input terminals (1,90) and the inputs of the multiplexer means (111') for
converting the input signals into corresponding subsignals, such as subband signals. (Fig. 6)

Abstract: A Raman amplifier comprises first and second stages, in which a single pump source is
used for both stages. The pump source output is coupled to one end of the second stage
and unused pump power is tapped from the other end of the second stage. The unused
pump power is then introduced into the first stage. The attenuation of the pump source
signal in the second stage results in a lower power pump signal being applied to the first
stage. The specific design of the amplifier stages enables the two pump power levels to
be suitable for different fiber types so that the advantages of a multi-stage amplifier are
maintained (with each stage being designed taking into account the signal powers in the
different stages) whilst simplifying the pump source requirements.

Abstract: A monolithic capacitor formed on a semiconductor substrate
(201) has a large parasitic capacitance (C par ) from
the bottom plate (205) of the capacitor to the substrate.
The value of this parasitic capacitance is reduced by connecting
it in series with a smaller substrate capacitance
(C sub ). The substrate capacitance dominates the total
value, if it is much smaller than the bottom plate capacitance.
The small substrate capacitance under the monolithic
capacitor is produced by adding under the monolithic
capacitor a semiconductor well (202') of a different type
than a semiconductor substrate or body on which the
monolithic capacitor is formed. This well is either left floating
or connected with a high-value resistor to an AC
ground.
