20110148037ADJUSTABLE GAMING REEL - A reel assembly for a gaming machine is disclosed. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, alignment of the center lines of the symbols can be accomplished without the need to remove the reel assemblies from the gaming machine. The reel assembly includes a two piece motor mount assembly that carries a stepper motor and a lamp assembly. The two piece motor mount assembly includes a fixed mounting ring that is rigidly secured to a fixed reel assembly support and a rotatable mounting ring that is rotatable with respect to the fixed mounting ring. The rotatable mounting ring is interlocked with fixed mounting ring to enable rotation of the rotatable mounting ring, for example, by way of a tongue and groove arrangement with respect to the fixed mounting ring. The lamp assembly is also mounted to the rotatable mounting ring. An adjustment screw for locking the angular position of the fixed mounting ring with respect to the rotatable locking ring is accessible along a direction generally accessible while the reel assemblies are installed in the gaming machines. As such, alignment of the symbol center lines can be accomplished without removing the reel assemblies from the gaming machine.06-23-2011

20120080867Steerable and/or Convertible Sport Boards - A sport board is provided having a running surface which provides improved steering and directional control of the sport board. In one embodiment, the sport board has an arcuate bottom with a series of alternating ridges and grooves. The central ridges and grooves run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the board, while the ridges and grooves in the side areas run perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the board. In a second embodiment, the sport board comprises a bottom having a small number of a larger ridges and grooves which arrangement provides better control. By use of either approach, however, turning and cornering of the board is more controllable. The board is also fitted with foot straps so as to be easily convertible from a sport board configuration to a snowboard configuration.04-05-2012
20120081680Package for a Projector - A packaging product for projectors is described, wherein the package contains a projector which has been preloaded with program material for projection, and wherein a prospective purchaser of the projector may see a preview of the program material which is contained in the projector. The controls for the projector are available within an opening in the package, and a visible light reflective surface is provided to view the projected image. In this manner, the prospective purchaser will obtain an idea of the nature of the program material contained within the projector, as well as being able to determine the functionality of the projector and, to a greater or lesser extent, the quality of the projection.04-05-2012
20120082824Thermal Poly Rubber (TPR) Layered Toy - A Thermal Poly Rubber (TPR) toy which is produced from a TPR base toy over which one or more diecut polymer and/or TPR layers are provided so as to produce a TPR toy having a more vibrant appearance, and a textured feel and appearance. The TPR toy reduces or eliminates the need for subsequent printing on the surface of the TPR toy.04-05-2012

20110216622LIPOSOMAL APPARATUS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD - The present invention provides apparatus and processes for producing liposomes. By providing a buffer solution in a first reservoir, and a lipid solution in a second reservoir, continuously diluting the lipid solution with the buffer solution in a mixing chamber produces a liposome. The lipid solution preferably comprises an organic solvent, such as a lower alkanol.09-08-2011

20110286102 Optical Adaptor - An optical adaptor is disclosed for use in combination with an optical imaging system. The adaptor is specifically configured so that when it is positioned within the optical path between an object and the imaging system, the adaptor corrects the field curvature of the imaging system so as to produce a substantially flat image of a curved object. The adaptor comprises a primary lens unit of positive power which in use is towards the object and which preferably takes the form of a thick meniscus lens having an overcorrect Petzval Sum, and a secondary lens unit of negative power which in use is towards the imaging system and which preferably takes the form of a relatively thin meniscus lens.11-24-2011

20090199638Measuring physical quantities using resonant structures - Apparatus and methods for measuring physical quantities making use of resonant structures, the resonant frequency of which changes with changes of the physical quantity. Techniques for detecting resonance are described. In one embodiment the apparatus comprises detecting circuit which has an arming circuit including a receiver which tracks the frequency of excitation signals and on the basis of the detected amplitude of the signals in that frequency range arms a comparator to compare signals indicative of the relative phase of the excitation signal and a signal reflected by the resonant structures which in turn allows resonance to be detected.08-13-2009
