Patent CA-2639429-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IGESUND TERRENCE
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2008-09-08
Abstract: Reel-type games are described in which a player's progress towards an award of a bonus game is displayed to the player. The required triggering event for an award of a bonus game may be accumulated over multiple turns of the game. A bonus indicator (e.g., icon) is provided on the display in association with each reel of the reels. After a spin of the reels, the bonus indicator for a given reel is activated if a symbol associated with an award of a bonus game is presented on the given reel. As the player continues to play, whenever the symbol associated with the bonus game appears for the first time on a given reel, the associated bonus indicator is activated and remains activated.  When all the indicators have become activated, a bonus game is awarded to the player.

IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 2007-01-26
Abstract: The object, namely to create a printed circuit board for an implant with improved properties in the electrical contact via the contact points of the conductor tracks on the printed circuit board, is achieved, according to the present invention, by a device for contacting and/or electrostimulation of living tissue cells or nerves, with a printed circuit board having at least one contact point for electrical contact, wherein the printed circuit board comprises a flexible multilayer system with at least one conductor track. According to the invention, the contact points for the conductor track in the multilayer system are galvanically strengthened. For this purpose, a galvanically strengthened layer is grown onto the already preprocessed contact point, for example by a galavanic process. By applying one or more additional material layers onto the contact points of the conductor tracks, the latter are anchored with greater mechanical stability in the printed circuit board and are therefore more reliable in terms of their function.

Abstract: Techniques for receiving a MIMO transmission are described. A receiver pr ocesses received data for the MIMO transmission based on a front-end filter to obtain filtered data. The receiver further processes the filtered data ba sed on at least one first combiner matrix to obtain detected data for a firs t frame. The receiver demodulates and decodes this detected data to obtain d ecoded data for the first frame. The receiver then processes the filtered da ta based on at least one second combiner matrix and the decoded data for the first frame to cancel interference due to the first frame and obtain detect ed data for a second frame. The receiver processes this detected data to obt ain decoded data for the second frame. The front-end filter processes non on -time signal components in the received data.
