20110064175 | METHODS AND AN APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING A RESIDUAL FREQUENCY ERROR IN A COMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - The present invention relates to methods and an apparatus for estimating a residual frequency error. According to an embodiment, an expected vector for selected subcarriers of a received symbol is estimated using a channel estimate vector and a reference vector; a sampling frequency mismatch is removed and a dot product is calculated using the expected and a received vector. An angle of the product is estimated and a change in angle from a previous symbol is calculated. The residual frequency is estimated using the calculated change in angle. In another embodiment, an expected subcarrier is estimated based on a channel estimate and on a reference subcarrier, an angle and magnitude of the multiplication between the expected and a received subcarrier are estimated; a phase offset is removed; a weighted mean value of the angles is calculated and the residual frequency error is estimated using a change in weighted mean angle. | 03-17-2011 |

20150206376 | GLOBAL LOTTERY - A computerised lottery system which allows a promoter to run a master lottery and a plurality of sub-lotteries (such as a multi-country lottery with entries from a number of different countries) at the same time. In the case of a multi-country lottery it is possible to allocate a master prize for the multi-country winner as well as a prize for the first ranked entry within a particular country. The system involves ranking all or substantially all entries by computer so that the first ranked entry in the world can be identified as well as the first ranked entry from each country or region having a plurality of entries. The advantage of this system is that the entry price is divided between a country prize pool and a multi-country prize pool, and the percentage allocated to each country's government can vary from country to country. | 07-23-2015 |
20150206377 | LOTTERY - This invention relates to a method of conducting a gaming system such as a lottery. The invention provides a computer system for recording entries to a game and determining one or more winners of the game. The game has an entry fee and is conducted in at least a first phase and a final phase, the first phase consisting of one or more games from which the number of entries in the or each first phase game is or are reduced substantially so that the number of entries which progress from the first phase game or games to the final phase is substantially less than the number of entries in the first phase game or games. The entries in the final phase which have progressed from the one or more first phase games to the final phase are entered into a final game, which final game includes a final prize which may or may not be won. The entry fee for all first phase entries includes an amount which is allocated to be set aside and or used to fund or to purchase insurance against the winning of the final prize. | 07-23-2015 |
