  • Patent number: 8500557
    Abstract: A game gaming system (10) comprises a gaming device (12) for at least part of a game at a first location (14) and an image capturing device (16) coupled to be in communication with a communications network (18) for capturing images of the gaming device. At least one output device (22) coupled to be in communication with the communications network is provided at one or more second locations (24) remote from the first location and a communication device (21) is provided at each of the first and one or more second locations. The at least one output device (22) displays the images of the gaming device enabling participants of the game at the one or more second locations to view the gaming device at the first location and at least one randomly selected participant participates in the game via the communication devices (21).

  • Patent number: 7648653
    Abstract: A conductive polyoxymethylene composition comprising a first polyoxymethylene component, a conductive filler, at least one boron oxyacid or salt thereof, and at least one first polyamide oligomer is disclosed. The first polyoxymethylene component comprises a copolymer of oxymethylene, a homopolymer of oxymethylene, and mixtures thereof, and is present in an amount of from about 50 to about 99.5 weight percent based on the total weight of the composition. The conductive filler is present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 40 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition. The boron oxyacid or salt thereof and the first polyamide oligomer stabilize the composition such that articles formed therefrom exhibit reduced or eliminated deterioration. Further, when exposed to higher temperature, pressure, and high-fuel content environments, the articles maintain the desired physical properties.

  • Patent number: 4197161
    Abstract: Catalysts used in the epoxidation or hydroxylation of water soluble olefinic compound with hydrogenperoxide are recovered by separating the catalyst as a distillation residue, the distillation residue is introduced into an inert material which is in whirling movement, e.g., as a fluidized bed, the organic compounds contained in the distillation residue are burned with oxygen or oxygen containing gases whereupon the catalyst compound separated on the inert whirling material together with the portion of the catalyst compound which accumulates in the solids separator connected at the outlet of the reactor is dissolved in water and the solution obtained again used for epoxidation or hydroxylation.

  • Patent number: 4009188
    Abstract: Glycide is prepared by reacting allyl alcohol with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a tungsten compound as a catalysts the excess allyl alcohol and the greatest part of the water distilled off, the sump mixture obtained in the distillation is split at 110.degree.-220.degree. C. and 5 to 60 torr in a thin layer evaporator into a volatile portion which is predominantly glycide, high boiling by products and the residual part of the water and a sump portion of glycerine, polyglycerine and catalysts. The volatile liquid portion is broken into glycide, water and high boiling byproducts at 5 to 60 torr in a distillation apparatus directly connected to the thin layer evaporator.
