Patent CA-2538702-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OWEN CLINT ALAN
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2004-09-27
Abstract: In a method, apparatus and program product for adding a "predetermined-prize bonus" round to a game, such a bonus round includes activity that leads to the revealing of a hidden result (508) for the game. Where the underlying game comprises a bingo game, the game play result (502) includes a bingo card pattern and payout amount for an otherwise ordinary result of the game. A  player makes a selection (507) in the predetermined-prize bonus round, but the selection has no affect on the amount awarded for the game, since the amount is determined prior to the player's selection (507).

Inventor: YUAN CHONG-SHENG
IPC: C12Q1/26
Filed: 2005-10-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for assaying alpha-methylacyl-CoA  racemase activity. In the assay, a sample containing an alpha-methylacyl-CoA  racemase or suspected of containing an alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase is contacted with (2R)-2-methylacyl-CoA. If alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase is present in the sample (2R)-2-methylacyl-CoA is converted into (2S)-methylacyl-CoA. The method then utilizes a cycling reaction system between (2S)-methylacyl-CoA and trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA to generate a detectable signal that corresponds to the alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase activity. Kits for assaying alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase based on the same principle are also provided.
