Appl. No.:

10/285182

Inventors:

Lawrence J. Kelly - Fairfield OH
Bruce D. Rowe - Cincinnati OH

Assignee:

Force-4, LLC - Crescent Springs KY

International Classification:

G06F 1900

US Classification:

702 41, 124 411

Abstract:

An apparatus, method and program product measure and analyze forces incident on a target. A support coupled to the target may move the target into a number of different initial positions. A force sensor embedded within the target may relay measured data to a controller that processes it to arrive at statistics and other displayable parameters.

Jan 25, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/769912

Inventors:

Bruce Rowe - Cincinnati OH, US

International Classification:

A63F009/24

US Classification:

463/025000

Abstract:

A slot machine is adapted to discern and accept both conventional currency and gaming chips. The slot machine sorts and stores the accepted currency and chips, transmitting data pertaining to the value of the respective denominations to a mechanism which ultimately initiates a slot machine's gaming and payout sequences. In one embodiment, the apparatus is an add-on to an existing slot machine permitting it to accommodate both money and gaming chips. In another embodiment, an original equipment manufactured apparatus is capable of accommodating the same.

Appl. No.:

10/770158

Inventors:

Bruce Rowe - Cincinnati OH, US
James Campos - Hayward CA, US

Assignee:

Therapeutic Innovations, Inc.

International Classification:

A61N001/18

US Classification:

607/048000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus generate resonant sequences having pulses optimally spaced and configured to realize uniform contractions in a rectum musculature. Namely, each subsequent pulse maintains tension within sarcomeres of the rectum musculature as the resonant sequence propagates inwardly to progressively stimulate the entirety of the rectum musculature. Variation in the width, spacing, polarity and/or amplitude of the pulses comprising the resonant sequence further overcomes accommodation and nutritional depletion while minimizing discomfort.
