  • Publication number: 20080264104
    Abstract: In the formation of sheet glass by the overflow downdraw process, the width of usable sheet glass is maximized by downwardly flowing edge portions of the sheet over web-like members and thereafter over extensions which intersect with and are downwardly inclined relative to the web-like members to thin edge portions of the glass flow and maintain sheet width. The extension members are preferably removably attached to the web-like members, greatly facilitating replacement of the more easily damaged extension members.

  • Publication number: 20080203288
    Abstract: This invention relates to mass spectrometry that includes ion trapping in at least one of the stages of mass analysis. In particular, although not exclusively, this invention relates to tandem mass spectrometry where precursor ions and fragment ions are analysed. A method of mass spectrometry is provided comprising the sequential steps of: accumulating in an ion store a sample of one type of ions to be analysed; accumulating in the ion store a sample of another type of ions to be analysed; and mass analysing the combined samples of the ions; wherein the method comprises accumulating the sample of the one type of ions and/or the sample of another type of ions to achieve a target number of ions based on the results of a previous measurement of the respective type of ions.

  • Publication number: 20080149928
    Abstract: The present invention provides a production method of a semiconductor device, which can improve characteristics of a semiconductor element including a single crystal semiconductor layer formed by transferring on an insulating substrate. The present invention is a production method of a semiconductor device comprising a single crystal semiconductor layer formed on an insulating substrate, the production method comprising the steps of: implanting a substance for separation into a single crystal semiconductor substrate, thereby forming a separation layer; transferring a part of the single crystal semiconductor substrate, separated at the separation layer, onto the insulating substrate, thereby forming the single crystal semiconductor layer; forming a hydrogen-containing layer on at least one side of the single crystal semiconductor layer; and diffusing hydrogen from the hydrogen-containing layer to the single crystal semiconductor layer.

  • Patent number: 7234702
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a game table with a plurality of player stations with an integral lighting system. The game table, for example, a poker table, includes a light window adjacent all of the player stations. An illumination device is fixedly disposed beneath the light window. With such a configuration, lighting is provided from beneath the table, which minimizes shadows during television taping.

  • Publication number: 20040249724
    Abstract: An interactive ordering system with animated guide that guides a customer or employee through the ordering process of a business. The animated guide is part of a software product that runs on a computer and receives and processes orders. The animated guide helps customers or employees through the ordering process by offering graphical and audio help in the form of tips, suggestions, and other forms of help that would normally be given by an employee. This new method of implementing an interactive ordering system makes it much easier for users to use ordering systems and saves time and money for business by saving on labor and training costs. The animated guide can come in many different forms including but not limited to cartoon characters and possibly even video-captured humans. The animated guide will be programmed specific to each system to provide help on the ordering process and to explain to the user how to use the system and to provide more information on items that could be ordered.

  • Publication number: 20040135316
    Abstract: A method for exhibiting a card game, such as a poker game, in which graphic and text data is superimposed on continuous video images of the game in progress to inform the video viewing audience of each player's cards and each player's bets. In this manner, the video viewers can get the feel of the game from each player's perspective while viewing the game at the same time. The graphic and text data is superimposed on the video image in the form of pop-up boxes which can be selectively displayed in an unobstructive manner.
