摘要:
Some implementations of the invention are directed to the use of legacy gaming software (or other non-native gaming software) in gaming machines that have a different architecture from that of the gaming machine for which the gaming software was written. Other implementations of the invention allow games of chance to be emulated, at least in part, on a device other than a gaming machine. The device may be, for example, a host device such as a workstation, a personal computer, a personal digital assistant, etc. The device may be a wired or a wireless device and may be used in a gaming establishment or at a remote location. Some aspects of the invention provide novel methods for dispute resolution and troubleshooting via such devices.

An ostomy body side member with a sealing member is provided. The sealing member has a fixed base member defining an opening having a first diameter and a resilient sealing element comprising a stoma receiving orifice defining an inner boundary. The inner boundary of the stoma receiving orifice has a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter of the frame. The sealing member is also provided with at least one adjustment member coupled between the fixed base member and the resilient sealing element. Furthermore, an alignment member for adjusting the tension of the at least one adjustment member is provided thereby allowing the diametrical dimension of the stoma sealing orifice to be adjusted from a first diameter to a second diameter.

An integrated collaborative user interface for a document editor is provided. The integrated collaborative user interface includes a document pane, document details pane and a section details pane. Document details and section details are obtained and provided to authors. A collaborative author views the document details, section details and provides updates to a document in the document editor. Changes are then refreshed to the authors to provide a consistent and up-to-date status of the document.
摘要:
All low-temperature processes are used to fabricate a variety of semiconductor devices in a substrate the does not include an epitaxial layer. The devices include a non-isolated lateral DMOS, a non-isolated extended drain or drifted MOS device, a lateral trench DMOS, an isolated lateral DMOS, JFET and depletion-mode devices, and P-N diode clamps and rectifiers and junction terminations. Since the processes eliminate the need for high temperature processing and employ “as-implanted” dopant profiles, they constitute a modular architecture which allows devices to be added or omitted to the IC without the necessity of altering the processes used to produce the remaining devices.

The perceptual scalable audio coding/decoding technique lies in the use of a psychoacoustic mask to guide residue coding in enhancement layer coders. At the encoder, a psychoacoustic mask is calculated for the enhancement layer coders or is simply extracted from the coded base layer bitstream. One can also decode the coded base layer bitstream into the audio waveform, and calculate the psychoacoustic mask from the decoded base layer waveform. Furthermore, a predictive technology can be used to refine the psychoacoustic mask derived from the base layer bitstream to form a more accurate psychoacoustic mask of the enhancement layer. In addition, one can calculate the enhancement layer psychoacoustic mask from the original audio, and send the difference between the enhancement layer psychoacoustic mask and the base layer psychoacoustic mask as side information to the decoder. This psychoacoustic mask may then be used for the perceptual coding and decoding of the residue.

An adapter battery unit for backup powering of a video camera device comprises a battery unit electrically and selectively connectable to an electronic device and is electrically and selectively connectable with a backup battery device. The adapter battery unit can be connected to the backup battery pack during operation of the electronic device without interruption in the power flow to the electronic device. In operation, the adapter battery unit supplies power to the camera device during normal operation of the camera. However, as the main battery in the adapter battery unit becomes discharged, a backup battery may be attached to the adapter battery without interrupting flow of power to the electronic device. In addition, when the adapter battery is connected to an external a/c power source, the adapter battery becomes charged and also acts as a charger to charge up the backup battery.

A leadframe having a metallic substrate and comprising layers of plated material, and a method of manufacturing said leadframe are provided. The substrate is plated with a layer of oxidizable material comprising nickel and a noble metal is selectively plated on the layer of oxidizable material. Thereafter, an exposed portion of the oxidizable material that is not plated with the noble metal is passivated to enhance adhesion of an encapsulation compound molded to the leadframe.
