| 20080210231 | METERED DOSE INHALER CLEANING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A canister of pressurized medicament is removed from a metered dose inhaler actuation assembly and thereafter subjected to a cleaning firing to dislodge any material that can be built up on the interior of the canister's valve stem. During the cleaning firing, backpressure in the valve stem is reduced and/or eliminated by routing the resulting flow to atmosphere along an improved flow path. The improved flow path can be such that there are no constrictions less than about 75% of the size of the valve stem's outlet port. Thus, the backpressure experienced by the valve stem is greatly reduced versus that experienced during a normal dosing firing. As a result, the flow rate of medicament through the valve stem during the cleaning firing can be higher than during a normal dosing firing, allowing the built-up material to be dislodged during the cleaning firing. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20090181777 | NETWORK COMPUTER GAME LINKED TO REAL-TIME FINANCIAL DATA - A network-based computer game that both uses real-time financial data to affect game state and uses participants' actions to determine and engage in financial transactions. A game server receives financial data on market conditions (such as currency markets) from a financial server and regularly synchronizes user's game environments to match the financial data. The game server propagates financial data to the game or games, coordinates communication (if any) between the games, and can initiate the opening and closing of positions in the financial market based on players' game behavior. The financial market can be a currency market, where one nation's currency can be exchanged for another currency at a certain exchange rate. | 07-16-2009 |
