Abstract: The present invention is an ethyl vanillin and/or vanillin friable shell-core microcapsule composition prepared by combining ethyl vanillin or vanillin with preformed friable shell-core microcapsules for a time sufficient for the ethyl vanillin or vanillin and microencapsulates to interact. Wash off consumer products and a method for depositing ethyl vanillin or vanillin on a surface are also provided.

Abstract: There is provided a flag assembly for mitigating against flag entanglement. The flag assembly comprises a flagpole assembly, the flagpole assembly having a fixed portion for fastening to a mount; a rotating coupling fastened to the fixed portion; and a rotating portion fastened to the rotating coupling such that the rotating coupling is able to rotate with respect to the fixed portion in use and a flag fastened to the rotating portion such that, in use, the fixed portion remains static while the rotating portion is able to rotate through 360 degrees under multidirectional wind force so as to mitigating against the entanglement of the flag about the flagpole assembly; wherein the rotating portion comprises an axial slot configured to allow the fastening of a portion of the flag to an interior of the rotating portion.

Abstract: A tadpole-type gasket and a method of fabrication. The gasket includes a core and a jacket. One embodiment of the jacket includes a woven fabric strip in which the warp threads are omitted from the strip in two separated portions to form first and second longitudinally extending drop warp portions with weft yarns joining completely woven portions on either side. The strip is wrapped about the core so that the drop warp portions overlie each other, and completely woven portions of the strip overly each other. Portions of the completely woven portions are secured together. The weft yarns in the overlying drop warp portions are readily separated to push a fastener therethrough. In another embodiment, the jacket includes slitted portions which overlie each other, which are readily separated by a fastener.

Abstract: A system for supplying fluid within a work vehicle may generally include a track drive box including first and second inlet ports and an outlet port. The system may also include a first supply conduit in fluid communication with the first inlet port and a second supply conduit in fluid communication with the second inlet port. The first supply conduit may be configured to supply a working fluid to the track drive box and the second supply conduit may be configured to supply a pressurized fluid to the track drive box, wherein the pressurized fluid serves to pressurize an interior of the track drive box, Additionally, the system may include an evacuation conduit in fluid communication with the outlet port that is configured to receive the working fluid as it is expelled from the outlet port.

Abstract: A low cost mechanism that may be used to extend Ethernet capability to low end devices provides sufficient capacity to support Ethernet communications using only a single twisted pair medium. Because only a single twisted pair is used, the overall cost, complexity and size associated with the integrating Ethernet functionality into an end device is reduced. A distributed power system delivers power to a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device over the single twisted pair medium. With such an arrangement, Ethernet capability and power may be simultaneously delivered to low end devices at a reduced cost.

Abstract: Various embodiments and techniques are described for discovery in a network, and for automatically discovering one or more nodes of the network. In an embodiment a discovery loop may be implemented to detect new nodes that may have been added to the network. The data transmission from the nodes may be paused, and undiscovered nodes may be requested to identify themselves. Each node that identifies itself may then be configured by, for example, having a time slot assigned for data transmission from the node. Separate time slots may be assigned to allow multiple nodes to transmit data over certain types of networks without colliding with each other. Data transmission from the nodes may then be resumed.

Abstract: A gaming system having a server connected to a plurality of gaming machines for playing a game in which a player wagers credits held in a credit meter. The gaming machines having a player tracking apparatus to receive an identifier from a current player of the gaming machine. The gaming machine can be reserved by a player, in which case play of the gaming machine is prevented by any player other than a player with the same identifier for a predetermined period time. The ability to reserve gaming machines may be dependent on eligibility criteria.

Abstract: A gaming machine display (14) includes a game playing arrangement (16) mountable in a cabinet (62) of a gaming machine (10). An electronically controlled display element (50) overlies the game playing arrangement (16) so that, depending on a state of the display element (50), the game playing arrangement (16) is visible through the display element (50).

Abstract: A device such as a gaming console comprises a display screen and a game controller arranged to allow a player to play a game and awarding a prize or feature if a winning combination results. A mechanical display filter is configured to visually distinguish at least two portions of the display screen from one another. The mechanical display screen may have buttons, including buttons which actuate a touch screen. The display screen can be used to illuminate portions of the mechanical display screen to produce visual effects, including using complex lighting patterns. The display screen may be used to illuminate buttons forming part of a user interface, or a separate screen may be used to illuminate the buttons from behind the buttons.
