20100084199 | MULTIPLE FORCE-MEASURING DEVICE, FORCE-MEASURING MODULE, AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A CONDITION OF THE MULTIPLE FORCE-MEASURING DEVICE - A multiple force-measuring device, especially a multiple weighing device has at least two force-measuring modules. Each force-measuring module includes a force-measuring cell and a power delivery means. The power delivery means of at least one of the force-measuring modules in this arrangement is connected, directly or through a junction element, to a control cable that is connected to a power supply unit. The force-measuring modules are connected directly to each other through a module-connection cable that transfers electrical power therebetween. | 04-08-2010 |
20110232357 | CALIBRATION ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ELECTRONIC BALANCE - A method for adjusting a calibration arrangement of an electronic balance during the production process, wherein the calibration arrangement includes a transfer mechanism with a drive system, and wherein the calibration arrangement couples at least one calibration weight to the force-measuring device, said coupling being effected by the transfer mechanism transferring the calibration weight in a guided movement between a rest position and a calibration position. According to the method the distance between the end stops is determined by a counter system and stored into memory. Using the stored travel distance to calculate the rest position and the calibration position. | 09-29-2011 |

20130161103 | WEIGHING CELL BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE COMPENSATION WITH OPTOELECTRONIC POSITION SENSOR - A weighing cell based on the principle of electromagnetic force compensation. A permanent magnet system is mounted on a base part and includes an air gap within which is suspended a coil that is connected to a load receiver through a force-transmitting mechanism. The coil carries an electrical compensation current when the weighing cell is in operation. An optoelectronic position sensor is also included, and its signal corresponds to the deflection of the coil from a zero position which occurs as a result of placing a load on the load receiver. A closed-loop controller regulates the compensation current in response to the sensor signal in such a way that the coil and the load receiver that is connected to it are returned to their zero position by the electromagnetic force that is acting between the coil and the permanent magnet. | 06-27-2013 |

20090082996 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING MEASUREMENT VALUES IN A MULTI-MODULE FORCE-MEASURING DEVICE, MULTI-MODULE FORCE-MEASURING DEVICE, AND FORCE MEASURING MODULE - A method and associated apparatus transmits measurement values in a multi-module force-measuring device, in particular a multi-module weighing device, with at least two force-measuring modules. Each of the force-measuring modules includes a force-measuring cell and a signal-processing unit. The signal-processing unit transmits the measurement values generated by the force-measuring cell by way of a signal line to a signal-evaluating unit. Under the method, each measurement value is converted into a bit sequence by the respective signal-processing unit. The first force-measuring module's bit sequence is transmitted to the signal-evaluating unit, and the bit sequences of the signal-processing unit of the further force-measuring modules are transmitted by way of the signal-processing unit of the first force-measuring module to the signal-evaluating unit. | 03-26-2009 |

20090149432 | METHODS FOR ADMINISTERING CORTICOSTEROID FORMULATIONS - Described here are methods for the treatment of respiratory conditions using nebulized corticosteroids. The methods administer a dose of corticosteroid twice a day or more with nebulization times of 5 minutes or less. The faster nebulization times improve patient compliance. The methods also employ a lower corticosteroid dose while achieving therapeutic efficacy similar to commercially available formulations. This results in improved patient safety by reducing the systemic exposure of the corticosteroid. | 06-11-2009 |
20090157037 | INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY - Described here are unit dose containers, methods, and kits for treating asthma and other pulmonary conditions by nebulization. The unit doses of active agents are provided in a low volume formulation, which results in faster nebulization of the unit doses. The containers are also formed to minimize internal surface area so that effective re-dispersion of the active agents can be achieved while reducing adsorption to the walls of the containers. | 06-18-2009 |

20140087879 | GAMING SYSTEM AND METHOD PROVIDING A SELECTION GAME ASSOCIATED WITH SELECTABLE VISUALLY UNBLOCKED OBJECTS AND UNSELECTABLE VISUALLY BLOCKED OBJECTS - In various embodiments, the gaming system of the present disclosure is configured to operate a card game associated with a plurality of cards. For a play of the card game, the gaming system receives a wager from a player, determines a plurality of player cards from the plurality of cards, displays the player cards face up, determines a plurality of dealer cards from the plurality of cards, and displays at least one of the dealer cards face up. The gaming system determines an outcome of the play by comparing the player and the dealer cards. If the outcome is a designated outcome, the gaming system adds the received wager to a side pot. If a side pot reset condition is met, the gaming system resets the side pot to an initial value. If a side pot payout condition is met, the gaming system provides the side pot to the player. | 03-27-2014 |
