Abstract: A multiplayer game system is implemented over the WWW using a plurality of game servers dynamically linked to and controlled by a WWW server. The WWW server dynamically links game players who log on to a web site hosted by the WWW server as a function of game playing statistics for each game player which are stored in the WWW server. The game servers generate the game player statistics for each player during and/or after game play and upload the game player statistics to the WWW server. The WWW server matches game players to appropriate games currently being played on the game servers based on the skill level required by the game and the corresponding skill levels of other current players of that game as represented by the game player statistics stored by the WWW server and dynamically generates links for the game player to the appropriate games. The user can then select which game to play by choosing one of the dynamically generated links.

Abstract: A structure for an a.c. electrical machine and method of transducing power between two different systems. The machine comprises two electrically balanced transformers which are generally, but not exclusively, three phase. Initially the transformers are in balance and no currents flow in the secondary windings of the transformers. An electrical or mechanical imbalance is introduced between the transformers causing current to circulate in the secondary windings. The secondary windings in one embodiment are provided on a rotor in which case the currents induced in the secondary windings cause a torque to be exerted on the rotor. It is also possible to arrange the machine as a transformer or alternator.

Abstract: The Village Wall system utilizes furniture, equipment, components, and accessories in the creation of unique office designs. Two parallel rails are attached to existing walls and support fixed tackboards and rolling accessories, e.g., markerboards, shelves, bookcases, etc. An outrigger beam is releasably connected, orthogonally, anywhere along the length of one of the rails. The other end of the outrigger beam is fixed to a pedestal which rotatably supports a work surface. Electrical power and communication services are provided through a wire managing service zone attached to the existing wall, a wire managing channel formed in the outrigger beam, a wire and cable storage facility within the interior of the pedestal, and through a grommet to the top of the work surface. Work areas without walls are defined by the location of the work surface along the existing wall.

Abstract: A respiratory ventilator and methodology thereof for automatically calibrating respiration gas flow delivery. The ventilator includes a gas flow calibration member having a reader component for recording inspiratory and exhalation gas volume with exhalation time, and for measuring a plurality of incremental exhalation gas flow values in a plurality of incremental time periods during a single exhalation. The gas flow calibration member includes a composite calculator component for determining an average of consecutive composite flow values, and a scanner calculator component for scanning in reverse order the plurality of consecutive composite flow values and calculating a new flow calibration value where a preselected number of consecutive composite flow values fall within a pre-selected flow rate. Thereafter, the gas delivery member is calibrated in accord with the determined new flow calibration value.
