A dice game is disclosed. A method of playing a dice game is also disclosed.

A method and apparatus for computing a schedule of channels is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of accepting a series of commands to tune a plurality of channels sequentially from an ordered schedule of channels; determining a duration of a time period between each of the series of commands; and prioritizing the schedule of channels according to the duration of the time period during which each channel is tuned. The apparatus comprises a user interface for accepting a series of commands to tune a plurality of channels sequentially from an ordered schedule of channels and a processor, communicatively coupled to a memory, the processor implementing a timer for determining a duration of a time period during which each channel is tuned and prioritizing the schedule of channels according to the duration of the time period during which each channel is tuned.

An improved mortar less masonry structure comprising a plurality of concrete masonry units connected to each other by metal bars and metal threaded fasteners thereby forming a reinforcing skeletal system for a post tensioned structure. The improved system has been developed for use in constructing various types of masonry structures. The improvements of the system feature masonry units with recessed channels, pocket channels, or fully embedded bars as anchors. The bolt acts as the tendon for the post tensioning system which traverse the hollow cavities as ducts. Other new features teach a strong and durable full plate anchor and high strength tendons for defensive and anti-terrorism structures. This is an improved building system that demountably couples each individual masonry unit by a bar and bolt system. This coupling results in stronger, faster, and cheaper construction of masonry structures.

The present invention provides the Free Fingers Typing Technology by fingers tapping on a surface, a technology that allows the user to type, point / select (on the display of a computer or computer-based-device) or play music with bare fingers without keyboard, without display pointing / selecting device and even without computer. The invention provides at least: one methodology to execute the finger movements, one convention to code the finger movements, two techniques to recognize the finger movements, a family of apparatus to optically monitor and recognize finger movements as well as the specifications of a plurality of related computer programs all used with the objective of interpreting finger-surface taps and converting them into computer characters, keyboard key strokes, functions of display-pointing / selecting device, music notes etc. . . . The invention provides means for free fingers typing, pointing / selecting and music playing suitable for all devices requiring a keyboard such as computers, personal digital assistants, cellular phones, gaming devices, musical instruments or other keyboard or display pointing / selecting based devices.

The present disclosure provides for instruction guide templates for piano keyboard scale fingering for left and right hands and methods of using the guide templates in order to simplify learning the correct fingering sequences of all major and minor scale variations.

Apparatus and methods are provided for querying OLAP data sources and other MDX servers utilizing a two-dimensional query language. Aspects of the apparatus and methods receive a query written in a two-dimensional query language, such as LINQ, convert the query into a query compatible with a multi-dimensional query language, such as MDX, and employ the converted query to query the OLAP data source.

A method is provided for recording a user's handwritten signature through a device including a touch-sensitive surface. The method includes a phase of obtaining a handwritten signature, which includes at least one step of acquiring the handwritten signature on the touch-sensitive surface of the device, delivering an acquired signature and at least one step of recording the acquired signature within a signature-recording space. During the phase of obtaining the handwritten signature, the method includes at least one step of measuring at least one piece of complementary data through the device and at least one step of recording the at least one piece of complementary data.

The present disclosure relates to a remote control including an electronic circuit comprising means for detecting the position, orientation and movement of the hand and / or forearm such as an accelerometer, means for transmitting at radiofrequency a control signal calculated depending on the measured position, orientation and movement, and a means for fastening to the forearm of an operator, wherein the remote control further comprises a contactor able to be actuated by the interaction of two fingers, the contactor controlling the activation of the electronic circuit and the maintenance of the control signal until the action on the contactor is stopped, and a bearing surface associated with a contactor controlling an emergency stoppage of the controlled equipment.

This invention discloses a Chinese input method using Pinyin plus a new tone notation on a Western keyboard or keypad to input Chinese characters, characterized in that the user can input a Chinese compound word (polysyllabic word) containing several syllables and tones by just keying in a series of letters representing the syllables and tones of the word, and the letters are all joined together without causing any confusion. This feature is attributed to the new tone input method of this invention, which is characterized in that the three letters j, q and x are used to input three of the four tones of Putonghua (Mandarin), and “no entry” is used to input the remaining tone. There is a detailed logical reasoning in the specification of this patent application explaining how this method can achieve the feature of “syllables with tones are joined together without causing confusion”. Input of these syllables with tones via just a Western keyboard, together with the important feature of “the syllables with tones are joined together without causing confusion”, will have a major impact on the technical field of Chinese input method.

This invention concerns a device for dosing a liquid detergent for soaking cleaning cloths, which releases an exact amount of liquid detergent; in particular, the invention refers to the actuating devices for operating the valve that the above-mentioned dosing device is fitted with.

A vulcanized latex loop or loops, wrapped by multiple spirally wound, generally non-elastic ribbons may be stretched over the legs and tail of a dressed bird to close the cavity of the bird during cooking. The loop or loops may be stretched to bind a bird in various ways depending upon the size and configuration of the bird.

Disclosed are a method, a computer-based system and a computer-readable medium having computer-readable code embodied therein for creating the specifications for the fabrication of a fully customized enclosure housing internal components. First a suitable three dimensional template representing a basic form of the enclosure is chosen from a plurality of predetermined three dimensional templates and sized. Each face of the enclosure is selected and customized by selecting specific design features from a range of predetermined design options as necessary until a complete set of specifications for the enclosure is obtained.
