Trading card game method of play

Provided herein is a novel method of game play and game components that in one embodiment are in the form of trading cards (10, 12, 40, 42, 44, 48, 54, 60, 64). However, the game components may take other forms, such as a board game, or the game may be played in different media, such as electronic games, video games, computer games, and inter-active network. In one version, the game components comprise energy or mana cards 40 and command or spell cards (10, 12, 42, 44, 48, 54, 60, 64) having command or spells associated therewith that utilize the energy to enable a player to attack, defend and modify the effect of other mana cards, spell cards, and the fundamental rules of play. The goal of the game is to reduce the life points of other players to a level below one. In this game of strategy and chance, players construct their own library of cards, preferably from trading cards, and play their library or deck of cards against the deck of cards of an opposing player. Cards may be obtained from retail outlets, trading with other players or collectors, and winning cards at games and tournaments.

Medical Device, Method And System For Temporary Occlusion Of An Opening In A Lumen Of A Body

InactiveUS20110172697A1Avoid communicationAvoid flowStentsBalloon catheterTemporary occlusionVideo fluoroscopy
A medical system is disclosed that has three basic components; a retractable sheet, a first balloon that has a centrally arranged hollow, and a collapsible / expandable support structure at the hollow. The first balloon is for instance mounted / molded onto the exterior surface of the support structure. The aggregate of support structure and the first balloon is positioned, and once the sheet has been retracted from the first balloon, the first balloon is inflated. The support structure may be self-expandable or expandable by an expansion unit, such as a further balloon arranged at its inside. The lumen of the support structure is chosen to be smaller than that of a main lumen. The outside diameter of the inflated first balloon is chosen to be larger than the interior diameter of the main lumen. This procedure may be done using standard Seldinger technique and fluoroscopy. This makes the system user friendly and increases patient safety, as a well established clinical method may be used with some modifications according to the invention.

System and Method for Estimating Cardiac Pressure Based on Cardiac Electrical Conduction Delays Using an Implantable Medical Device

Techniques are provided for estimating left atrial pressure (LAP) or other cardiac performance parameters based on measured conduction delays. In particular, LAP is estimated based interventricular conduction delays. Predetermined conversion factors stored within the device are used to convert the various the conduction delays into LAP values or other appropriate cardiac performance parameters. The conversion factors may be, for example, slope and baseline values derived during an initial calibration procedure performed by an external system, such as an external programmer. In some examples, the slope and baseline values may be periodically re-calibrated by the implantable device itself. Techniques are also described for adaptively adjusting pacing parameters based on estimated LAP or other cardiac performance parameters. Still further, techniques are described for estimating conduction delays based on impedance or admittance values and for tracking heart failure therefrom.

Accessory mount arrangement for a lawn vehicle

The present invention is related to lawn maintenance and describes a system for mounting an accessory, such as a grass trimmer, to a lawn tractor or lawn mower. The mounting system provides a lawn tractor operator the ability to operate an accessory while seated in the lawn tractor. The mounting system is also advantageous in that the operator need not specifically align the tractor with any objects that present an obstacle for mowing, but may instead move the accessory to the object. The accessory mounting system includes a linkage arrangement that allows the accessory to be moved from side-to-side of the lawn tractor. The linkage arrangement includes a centered orientated vertical pivot member interconnected with a link member, which is defined by a pair of curvilinear members, that allows the link member to rotate to reposition the accessory. The linkage arrangement also allows limited vertical displacement of the accessory.

Predicting disease outcomes using machine learned models

Embodiments of the disclosure include implementing a ML-enabled cellular disease model for validating an intervention, identifying patient populations that are likely responders to an intervention, and developing a therapeutic structure-activity relationship screen. To generate a cellular disease model, data is combined from human genetic cohorts, from the literature, and from general-purpose cellular or tissue-level genomic data to unravel the set of factors (e.g., genetic, environmental, cellular factors) that give rise to a particular disease. In vitro cells are engineered using the set of factors to generate training data for training machine learning models that are useful for implementing cellular disease models.

On-chip HV and LV capacitors acting as the second back-up supplies for nvsram auto-store operation

InactiveUS20140104946A1Reduce frequency of oscillatorRapid paceRead-only memoriesDigital storageMemory chipCapacitance
Two on-chip capacitors including one HV capacitor VPPcap and one LV VCC capacitor VCCcap are built over a NVSRAM memory chip as a back-up second power supplies for each NVSRAM cell, regardless of 1-poly, 2-poly, PMOS or NMOS flash cell structures therein. The on-chip HV and LV capacitors are preferably made from one or more MIM or MIP layers for achieving required capacitance. A simplified VCC power system circuit without a need of a State machine designed for performing only one NVSRAM Program operation without Erase operations is proposed for initiating NVSRAM's Auto-Store operation without using any off-chip Vbat and Vcap. During the Auto-Store operation, all HV pumps and oscillators associated with the two on-chip capacitors are shut off once VCC voltage drop is detected by a VCC detector to be below 80% of regular VDD level.

Method for playing a modified blackjack card game

A method for playing a modified blackjack card game that utilizes a standard deck of playing cards. The game begins with each of the players placing a bet. The dealer deals a hand of two cards to each of the players and to the dealer. After the dealer has dealt a player a second card, the player can have the dealer replace the second card with a new second card, for an amount equal to a portion of the player's bet, and preferably one-half of the player's bet, thereby giving the player more choices in the game. Moreover, the rules of the game provide for less of a chance of a tie between the dealer and the players, thereby increasing the pace and excitement of the game.

A bolt greaser unit for lubricating the exposed top ends of anchor bolts that secure the base tower of wind generators to the foundation that is formed in the ground. The bolt greaser unit has a vertically oriented tubular housing having a base member secured to its bottom end and a circular cap member detachably secured to its top end. The interior chamber of the tubular housing has a plurality of vertically oriented rod members having their bottom ends screwed into the top surface of the base member. Each rod member has a brush member telescopically received thereon. The top end of the rod members pass through apertures in the circular cap member and are secured in position by nuts. A universal joint structure is fixedly secured to the top surface of the cap member and it has a four sided shank portion extending upwardly that is telescopically received in the bore hole of a socket mounted on the drive shaft of a cordless power tool that would be used to rotate the bolt greaser unit. The base member has a central aperture having a width greater than the diameter of the anchor bolts over which the bolt greaser unit is lowered. A gob grease would be placed on the top end of the anchor bolts prior to insertion into the bottom end of the bolt greaser unit and when the drive shaft of the power tool rotates, the grease would be throughly spread into the grooves of the threads of the anchor bolts.
