20140330135 | CANNULATED SCREW PROBE - Concepts for measuring and monitoring characteristics of osseous tissue are presented. In various embodiments, a monitoring probe may be inserted through a hollow passageway within a cannulated screw during an operation in order to measure characteristics of the osseous tissue in which the cannulated screw is inserted. In various embodiments, the cannulated screw may be inserted into a femoral head, through a physis, and into an epiphysis for stabilization of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis. During surgical treatment thereof, a pressure transducer may be inserted into the osseous tissue through the cannulated screw in order to monitor epiphysis perfusion through the femoral head. | 11-06-2014 |

20150087417 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR OPERATING GAMING ENVIRONMENTS - A system for use in operating gaming tables within a gaming environment is described herein. The system includes a user computing device including a display device, an imaging device for capturing and transmitting video images of an observation area within the gaming environment, and a system controller coupled to the user computing device and the imaging device. The system controller is configured to receive a live video image including a gaming table, display the live video image within a display area on the display device, and display an event area within the display area overlaying a portion of the gaming table image. The system controller detects a triggering condition associated with the event area and responsively generates an event record. The triggering condition includes a change in an image characteristic within the event area. The event record is indicative of game play at the gaming table. | 03-26-2015 |
20150199872 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR OPERATING GAMING ENVIRONMENTS - A system for use in operating gaming tables within a gaming environment is described herein. The system includes a controller configured to receive an area image of an observation area including a gaming table from a video imaging device, detect a region of interest being displayed in the area image, and generate an object record including an object image associated with the region of interest. The object image includes an object being displayed within the region of interest. The controller identifies an object attribute associated with the object as a function of the object image, determines a table state associated with the gaming table as a function of the object attribute and generates and stores a table state record indicative of the table state. The controller generates and displays an enhanced image including the area image of the observation area and the determined table state on the display device. | 07-16-2015 |
