Abstract: A system and method are provided for transferring related data objects in a distributed data storage environment. The approach allows for data objects belonging to a common group to be transferred while preserving the grouping of the data objects. The data objects can be transferred in an order in which the data objects are stored, rather than in an order of grouping. The data objects are accompanied with attribute information including a unique group identifier when transferred from a source site to a target site. At the target site, the attribute information for each data object is received and analysed. An import groups table listing the groups of data objects is used to associate each data object with its group as it is received. Data objects of groups for which any members have not been received are also listed in an unresolved objects table. When a group is complete, all data objects of the group are removed from the unresolved objects table. At the end of a data transfer session, all data objects still listed in the unresolved objects table are deleted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for playing a poker game along with an auxiliary game, which depends on the poker game outcomes, is provided. The outcomes of the poker game are divided in three categories: credit events, no-credit events and non-event holds. Depending on their categories, outcomes influence the auxiliary game in different ways. The preferred way the auxiliary game works is by monitoring credit and no-credit events with a time window having neither a beginning nor an end; the amount of information monitored being constant. When a predetermined number of credits is accumulated within the monitoring window, an auxiliary prize is awarded. The invention also provides ways to display the information monitored by the auxiliary game so that this information is easy for players to understand and to follow. Accordingly, the invention provides an enhanced play experience that maintains excitement.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to adjust relative misalignment of recording positions of dots created at different timings with high accuracy, thereby enhancing the printing quality. A patch pattern is used as a test pattern for adjusting misalignment of recording positions between a first dot and a second dot created at different timings. In the test pattern, a fraction of the first dot and the second dot adjoining to each other in either a main scanning direction or a sub-scanning direction may be significantly greater than a fraction of the first dots or the second dots adjoining to each other. In the test pattern, substantially equal numbers of the first dot and the second dot may be created with a substantially equivalent dispersibility over a practically whole area. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering a stent into a blood vessel includes a sheath having a rounded bullet-shaped distal portion including a plurality of flexible leaflets integrally molded thereto. The stent is disposed in its contracted condition within a lumen of the sheath proximate the distal portion. A bumper is slidably disposed within the lumen that includes a helical compression coil, a bumper element attached to the helical coil including a blunt distal edge for abutting the stent, and an extension element extending distally from the bumper element through the stent and between the leaflets to facilitate introducing the apparatus over a guidewire. The sheath is formed by inserting a bullet into a blunt-ended tube, and inserting the tube into a bullet-shaped bore in a heated die until the tube material is softened and deforms into a rounded bullet shape. Slits are then cut into the distal portion to create the leaflets.

Abstract: A transparent laminate having low emissivity which has one or more dielectric layers such as a zinc oxide (ZnO) film and one or more metal layers such as a silver (Ag) film being laminated on one another, characterized in that at least one dielectric layer is divided in the direction of film thickness by at least one amorphous layer. The transparent laminate having low emissivity exhibits improved durability of the metal layer, since the formation of a zinc oxide film as a dielectric layer on an amorphous layer causes the collapse of the columnar crystal structure of zinc oxide and, as a result, not only the amorphous layer but also the dielectric layer act also as a barrier preventing the entry of moisture or a gas.
