Abstract:

A video game allows dynamic transitions in the number of players. A player may join other players already playing the game without interrupting the play of the existing players, and a player may cease playing the game without interrupting the play of players who continue playing. The video game uses a method including providing game play for at least one game player including displaying video information based on game program instructions and inputs from a controller. The method also includes determining whether a further player is joining the video game, and if the further player is joining the video game, displaying player specific information associated with the further player to the video information. The method also includes determining whether a player is quitting the video game, and if the player is quitting the video game, removing display of the player specific information associated with the player.

US Classification:

463 35, 463 31, 463 37

Abstract:

A music video game provides an open note executable on a guitar shaped video game controller. In some embodiments, an open note may be performed on an existing guitar shaped video game controller by activating a strum input on the video game controller without activating any of a plurality of fret inputs on the video game controller. The open note may serve as an equivalent to an open chord played on a real guitar. In some embodiments, an instructive cue is provided to inform users when to perform an open note in the context of the music video game.

Appl. No.:

6/793494

Inventors:

Paul R. Robinson - Diamond Bar CA
Eric L. Moorehead - Diamond Bar CA

Assignee:

Union Oil Company of California - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

C07C 1118

US Classification:

585622

Abstract:

Oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts suitable for converting C. sub. 4 to C. sub. 8 mono-olefins to conjugated dienes comprise vanadium, phosphorus, and alkali metal components, and preferably also a tin component, in combination with a microporous crystalline silica or a crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina ratio of at least 6. In one embodiment, the catalyst has a surface area between 30 M. sup. 2 /g to 450 M. sup. 2 /g and the vanadium has an average valence in the range of from 3. 50 to 4. 95.

Appl. No.:

6/938289

Inventors:

Paul R. Robinson - Diamond Bar CA
Howard D. Simpson - Irvine CA

Assignee:

Union Oil Company of California - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

B01J 2719
C10G 4504

US Classification:

502211

Abstract:

A hydroprocessing catalyst contains nickel, phosphorus and about 19 to about 21. 5 weight percent of molybdenum (MoO. sub. 3) components on a porous refractory oxide. The catalyst has a narrow pore size distribution wherein at least 75 percent of the pore volume is in pores of diameter from about 50 to about 110 angstroms, at least 10 percent of the pore volume in pores of diameter less than 70 angstroms and at least 60 percent of the pore volume in pores of diameter within about 20 angstroms above or below the average pore diameter. The catalyst is employed to hydroprocess a hydrocarbon oil, especially those oils containing sulfur and nitrogen components.

Appl. No.:

7/072431

Inventors:

Paul J. Robinson - Pasadena CA

International Classification:

A61F 216

US Classification:

623 6

Abstract:

An intraocular lens is adapted to be implanted within an eye adjacent the iris of the eye in either the anterior or posterior position or inside the lens capsule. The intraocular lens includes a lens portion and at least one flexible fixation device carried by the lens portion. The fixation device provides supportive engagement with the eye structure in either the anterior or posterior position or inside the lens capsule to centrally position the intraocular lens portion within the eye structure. The flexible fixation device is formed as a flexible loop attached to the intraocular lens portion and with the loop formed by a coil spring.
