20100041000 | System and Method for Controlling the Presentation of Material and Operation of External Devices - By performing a comparison of words spoken by a speaker and defined material which is presented to the speaker, information can be determined which allows for the convenient control of the presentation of material and external devices. A comparison of a speaker's words with defined material can be beneficially used as an input for controlling the operation of an exercise apparatus, video games, material presented to an audience, and the presentation of the material itself. Similar feedback loops can also be used with measurement and stimulation of neurophysiologic states, to make the activity of reading more enjoyable and convenient, or for other purposes. | 02-18-2010 |

20150235519 | WAGERING GAME WITH ADVANCING TARGET ELIMINATION FEATURE - A wagering game is provided including an advancing target elimination game, which may be a base or bonus game. In this game, targets are shown to be advancing toward an objective, and the player is given selectable indicia with which to stop the targets. Each pick election may eliminate (or partially damage) a certain number and/or pattern of targets, with a credit value being awarded for each enemy eliminated. The bonus is played by taking turns between a phase of enemy target appearance and movement and a phase of player pick for enemy target elimination. These two phases alternate until an end-bonus condition is achieved. | 08-20-2015 |

20110270117 | REMOTE CONTINUOUS SEIZURE MONITOR AND ALARM - An electroencephalogram (EEG) utilizing epileptiform activity detection, warning and recording system adapted for use by non-healthcare professionals or healthcare professionals. The system is simple enough for use by untrained personnel and will be self-contained, not requiring technical setup or point of use maintenance. The system includes a small number of passive or active scalp electrodes for capturing the electrical signals in the subject's brain allowing for detection of epileptiform activity. The system will recognize epileptiform activity and will either transmit signals upon detection of epileptiform activity to either a localized warning device or to a cellular or radio receiving device. The system will note epileptiform activity in a recording component and allow for review of the epileptiform data to allow non-clinical and clinical personnel to verify such activity. | 11-03-2011 |

20090266235 | Method and Apparatus for Separating Particles - A method and apparatus for separating particles preferentially accelerates particles to a rotating collector, which then reliably conveys collected particles to a discharge with minimal re-entrainment of the particles in the fluid stream. The collector minimizes energy transfer to the fluid and maximizes separation under conditions of high particle loading, fine particle content, or both. The separator may be operated in any vertical, horizontal or oblique orientation, or within devices whose orientation varies over time. | 10-29-2009 |

20080210427 | Methods Using Fluid Stream for Selective Stimulation of Reservoir Layers - A technique enables stimulation of a subterranean formation. A reactive fluid is delivered downhole into a wellbore. The reactive fluid is under sufficient pressure downhole to create a jet of the reactive fluid that is directed at a specific treatment section. The jet is maintained until a localized region of enhanced permeability is created. One or more jets can be created or moved to treat a plurality of low permeability zones. | 09-04-2008 |
20080308272 | Real Time Closed Loop Interpretation of Tubing Treatment Systems and Methods - A technique facilitates the treatment of a subterranean formation. The technique involves the use of a fluid delivery system that comprises a continuous feedback system. The continuous feedback system utilizes a real time closed loop interpretation technique to instantaneously synchronize and adjust actions at a well site surface relative to measured downhole events. Sensors are used to monitor at least one downhole property in real time. Based on the real time data, the continuous feedback system enables adjustments to be made with respect to the at least one property in a manner designed to influence a downhole event. | 12-18-2008 |

20090112364 | Chemical treatment system and method - A chemical treatment system that injects a dosage chemical solution into a process. A condition of the process is sensed by a sensor, communicated to a controller and used as a basis for varying in real time the dosage of the chemical solution. The sensor, the controller, a pump and the process are disposed in a closed control loop. The controller controls the operation of the pump (speed, duty cycle and the like) to vary the dosage based on the sensed condition, which is disclosed as a corrosion and/or scale of an element of the process, although other conditions can control the dosage as well. | 04-30-2009 |
