Abstract: A system includes an attraction platform and a netting system configured to capture loose articles cast from the attraction platform. The netting system includes a first structural member, a second structural member, a net extending between the first structural member and the second structural member, and a zipper interface extending between the first structural member and at least a portion of the net.

Abstract: The present invention relates to integrated circuit packaging and methods of manufacturing these. In particular, but not exclusively the present invention relates to improvements in the suppression of spurious wave modes within cavity packages in which are mounted circuits operating at high frequencies, for example Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC's).

Abstract: A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) regulator is tested using a breath simulator having (i) a cup-shaped housing defining an interior volume and an open end, and (ii) an empty syringe with a plunger disposed therein and terminating in a dispensing tip coupled to the housing for sealed fluid communication with the interior volume thereof.

Abstract: The present invention discloses and claims a method of treating cognition deficits in a patient suffering from schizophrenia by administering to said patient a therapeutically effective amount of a CB1 receptor antagonist as described herein. In another aspect, this invention also discloses and claims a combination of one or more CB1 receptor antagonists and of one or more antipsychotic agents useful in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. The combination of this invention provides synergistic results in that the combination improves positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, weight gain and catalepsy.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for cooking a foodstuff whereby the foodstuff is placed in the body of the apparatus which is then immersed in boiling water until the foodstuff is cooked. The apparatus includes an elongated tubular body having at opposite ends removable caps. The body and caps are adapted such that the cooked foodstuff adopts a shape defined by the internal surfaces of the body and caps. An optional feature is the inclusion of a solid tube which is of the same length as the body and is held concentrically within the body by the end caps. This creates a hollow core within the cooked foodstuff in which can be placed second victuals. The cross-sectional shape of the body and tube is determined by the required cross-sectional configuration of the cooked foodstuff and includes circular, square, rectangular, triangular, star-shaped, letters, numerals and symbols.

Abstract: Encapsulation of a flavor or active agent in a matrix of whey protein yields an encapsulation composition which results in the controlled release of the flavor or active agent and which may be incorporated in a yeast-leavened dough without causing a deleterious effect on the rising of the dough.
