| 20110315879 | IR DETECTOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - An Infra Red detector system and method are disclosed for a SAR ADC capable of operation at low power and for use on a Focal Plane Array FPA) detector. High power consumption makes known converter approaches unattractive for use on Focal Plane Array (FPA) detectors that are to be cooled to cryogenic temperatures. Many such ADCs are used on a FPA detector (e.g., up to one ADC per column of the imaging array) to digitise image data for the whole array at standard frame rates. Increased power makes cooling difficult to achieve or unattractive at system level. An exemplary system as disclosed can use an adaptive approach to set the comparator gain and settling time depending on the dynamics of the input signal, thereby achieving specified performance whilst reducing overall power. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20100279664 | SELF-MONITORED HOME SECURITY SYSTEM USING MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS - A system and method for providing home security services may include receiving, at a local alarm controller, a cordless sensor signal indicative of an alarm sensor being triggered. The cordless sensor signal may be communicated over one of multiple cordless telephone channels. In response to receiving the sensor signal, a signal indicative of the cordless telephone channel may be communicated to a mobile telephone of a user to notify the user that a sensor associated with the cordless telephone channel was triggered. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20080276646 | Conformable nosing device for reducing motion and stress within a glass sheet while manufacturing the glass sheet - A conformable nosing device is described herein which conforms to have a bowed shape that substantially matches a bowed shape of a glass sheet and which engages the glass sheet to help minimize the motion of the glass sheet and to help reduce the stress within the glass sheet while the glass sheet is being scored and separated into individual glass sheets. In addition, the conformable nosing device can include a passive nosing device which can be controlled to further help minimize the motion of the glass sheet while the glass sheet is being scored and separated into individual glass sheets. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20100130279 | SELECTION APPARATUS - A selection apparatus for use with a gaming apparatus having an ordered array of winning areas which are adapted to be selected by selection means, each winning are being associated with one of a plurality of identifiers. The selection apparatus comprises: a first ordered array of alternately offset selection areas; and a second ordered array of alternately offset identifier areas interleaved with the first array such that each area of each array is adjacent to a plurality of areas of the other array. Each identifier area is associated with one of the plurality of identifiers such that the ordering of the identifier areas is the same as the ordering of the winning areas. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100203944 | SELECTION APPARATUS - A selection apparatus adapted to be used with a gaming apparatus comprising a set of selectable outcomes. The selection apparatus comprises: a first array of identifier areas; and a second array of selection areas alternately interspaced between the identifier areas of the first array such that each selection area of the second array is adjacent to a plurality of identifier areas of the first array. Each identifier area is associated with one of the selectable outcomes such that each selectable outcome of the set is associated with at least one identifier area. Further, each selection area is associated with the plurality of identifier areas it is adjacent to. | 08-12-2010 |
