Publication number: 20090172172Abstract: In one aspect, a method for methods and systems for enabling peer-to-peer communication among visitors to a common website includes determining, by a server unaffiliated with a first URL, that a first computer is accessing the first URL via a first web browser. The method includes determining, by a server, that a second computer is accessing a second URL via a second web browser, the second URL sharing at least a hostname with the first URL. The method includes sending, from a server to the second computer, address information identifying the first computer. The method includes establishing a connection between the second computer and the first computer. In one embodiment, the method includes displaying, to a user of the first computer, a three-dimensional environment incorporating the first web browser.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2008Publication date: July 2, 2009Inventors: Erik Lambert Graham, Justin Robert Head, Jeffrey William Leigh, David Andrew Smith, Gabriel Donovan Huntington, Tom Spilman

Publication number: 20070259712Abstract: A gaming system includes a gaming server operate under program control to regulate the progress of a game of chance, a player station capable of displaying a simulation of the game of chance, a communication network that provides communication between the gaming server and the player station, and a means by which the player can place a wager on an outcome of a turn of the game of chance. The outcome of the game of chance is determined by the gaming server as a function of a sequence of randomly generated binary variables. The player station displays the simulation of the game of chance as an animation of a multistage decision tree in which the number of stages is equal to the number of binary variables in the sequence of randomly generated binary variables.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2005Publication date: November 8, 2007Applicant: Waterleaf LimitedInventors: Robert Head, Anthony William Adam

Patent number: 5165374Abstract: The inlet arrangement comprises two inlet ports for a fuel and air mixture each of which terminates at an orifice openable and closeable by a respective valve. Each inlet port is of a high flow/low swirl type and a mixture of fuel and air which flows through the orifice can be deflected to enable the inlet port to perform as a low flow/high swirl at smaller throttle openings. In one embodiment, flow of mixture through the inlet port can be deflected at low throttle openings by a transverse flow of gas from inlet ducts. In other embodiments, the direction of mixture flow can be varied by members movable into and out of the mixture flow.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1991Date of Patent: November 24, 1992Assignee: Rover Group LimitedInventors: John Chapman, Mark W.

Patent number: 4882122Abstract: In a boiling water reactor, provision is made to sample the core bypass region immediate the top guide to determine the physical and chemical constituents of the moderating water. A conduit for a local power range monitor is fitted with a measurement assembly. The conduit and measurement assembly are inserted up to the vicinity of the top guide. A tube opening is provided to the bypass region immediate the top guide. During reactor operation, the saturated liquid in this region flashes to a steam water mixture (18% steam) at constant enthalpy and is rapidly removed from the reactor to measuring equipment in the reactor building. During removal, the radiolytic disassociated gases (namely hydrogen and oxygen) partition to the steam phase where their recombination is retarded and accurate measurement of their constituent content can be made. Also, temperature of the steam water mixture decreases thereby preserving unstable species like hydrogen peroxide that degrade much more rapidly a high temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1988Date of Patent: November 21, 1989Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Robert A. Head, Robert L. Cowan, Robert J. Law
