Abstract: A playing system comprises a playing table and a mechanism situated vertically above the playing table, where the mechanism can be used to accommodate one or more dancers to dance above the playing table while the players play on the playing table. The mechanism may comprise a dancing pole where the one or more dancers may perform exotic dance.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting leaks using sensors to report the leak and communicate with a control unit to turn off the source of the leak once detected. A valve can be turned off in the event of a leak and embodiments employing battery power can function during loss of power such as a power blackout. Wireless sensors can be employed to detect leaks that wirelessly communicate with a control and operate solely with a designated control unit. The wireless sensors can operate using low power provided by batteries. The control panel can display alarm conditions from the sensors, including: low battery, poor signal, wet sensor, communication failure, sensor failure.

Abstract: A plasma treatment probe may include a hollow, tubular electrode defining an interior region, and a coaxial insulating tube configured to enclose the electrode. The insulating tube may form a gas flow outlet at one end. An outer chamber may enclose the insulating tube and the hollow electrode, and may have a gas inlet for receiving a gas mixture. The hollow electrode may be configured to receive nanosecond electric pulses, while a gas mixture flows from the gas inlet through the interior region of the electrode, so that a non-thermal plasma can be ignited that exits from the gas flow outlet onto a region of a patient's body to medically treat the region.

Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for calculating a neural stimulation energy at an external patient management (EPM) system using received information about a chemical characteristic indicative of a physiological state of a subject.

Abstract: A circular pool table comprises features that provide the player with a sensation of playing on a rectangular pool table. In particular, the circular pool table comprises a circular cushion whose geometry resembles that of the cushion of a rectangular pool table as specified by the Billiard Congress of America and/or World Pool-Billiard Association. The playing surface, rail, and pockets of the circular pool table mimic the features of a corresponding rectangular pool table. In particular, the slate including the cloth, the rail including the sub-rail, and the pockets including the pocket openings are configured so as to further convey the experience of playing on a recreational and/or tournament-qualified rectangular pool table.

Abstract: An erectable arm assembly for use in a borehole, the erectable arm assembly comprising a main body and an arm member, the arm member being able to move between a collapsed position in which the assembly can be removed from the borehole and an erected position, the erectable arm assembly being adapted to house a fluid drilling assembly comprising a fluid cutting device and a flexible hose drill string such that the arm member during erection can contain at least part of the fluid drilling assembly, and when in the erected position the arm member is able to guide the fluid cutting device towards the borehole wall, the assembly further including at least one sensor for monitoring the arm member or the fluid drilling assembly.

Abstract: A filling system includes a pressurized source of fill material and a pressure fill head wherein the fill head also includes a beating element positioned so as to transfer heat to fill material passing through the fill head. A method of filling holes using a fill material passing through a pressure fill head includes the steps of causing fill material to enter the fill head\, modifying the viscosity of the fill material while it is within the fill head, and causing the modified viscosity fill material to exit the fill head and enter at least one hole.
