Many players who are not willing to wager such an amount, or consistently willing to wager such an such an amount, are thus excluded from having an opportunity to win the progressive jackpot and enjoy its associated payout increase. A known progressive slot machine that requires a max bet ...
The length of the halftone cell side S is determined by the pixel size of the halftone cell. The strategy used to create a family of curves is to fix the focal point to a suitable value, and then select a x, y value along a halftone cell side, labeled px, py in FIG. 3, for...
Unfortunately, the nanoparticle probes stick to many other solid surfaces that have been tried (silica slides, reverse-phase plates, and nylon, nitrocellulose, cellulose and other membranes), and these surfaces cannot be used. An important aspect of the detection system illustrated in FIG. 2 is ...
Many other suitable expression control sequences and methods of expressing recombinant proteins are known (F. M. Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, N.Y.). The nucleotide sequence as given in FIG. 4 also contains a leader peptide s...
As is well known in the medical arts, dosages for any one patient depend upon many factors, including the patient's size, body surface area, age, the particular compound to be administered, sex, time and route of administration, general health, and other drugs being administered concurrently....
It is known per se that grinding disks having triangular, trapezoidal or similarly shaped teeth may be arranged in many different pitches and sizes, and that when grinding material which is sensible to heat, a smearing and undesirable heating of the material owing to the rubbing of the material...
Slot type air diffusers are used in many different environments for controlling air flow into a room from a heating and cooling ventilation system. Sometimes the particular requirements for air flow into a room require that the air flow be a jet type flow that has a relatively high velocity an...
Many Cyanobacteria also form motile filaments, called hormogonia, which travel away from the main biomass to bud and form new colonies elsewhere. The cells in a hormogonium are often thinner than in the vegetative state, and the cells on either end of the motile chain may be tapered. In or...
Semiconductor compounds of the III-V materials and alloys thereof; such as the compounds gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) and the alloy aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) have unusual optoelectronic properties which make them attractive for many applications; ranging from microwave de...
(i.e., that there is no drift in the translation stage due to thermal or other effects). There are many methods for ensuring that the stylus does not actually contact the sample but maintains very accurate resolution of the Z coordinate. Because only surface morphology is measured, ...
