20110159945 | GAMING SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH MULTI-SIDED PLAYING ELEMENTS - A method for a gaming machine is described that includes displaying a representation of at least one multi-sided playing element having a plurality of faces, and selecting, according to random criteria, a symbol for display on a first presented face of each multi-sided playing element. The selection may be made from a set of symbols that has more members than there are faces on the multi-sided playing element. Symbols on at least two and less than all of the presented faces of each multi-sided playing element may indicate a winning combination. The outcomes of the game may be defined from various sides of the one or more playing elements. | 06-30-2011 |

20140218238 | Object Location and Tracking - A method for tracking an object includes associating a beacon with a responder; transmitting a polling signal from the beacon to the responder; receiving a response from the responder; entering a low power state on the beacon for a predetermined duration; and transmitting an alert from the beacon responsive to a subsequent signal from the beacon failing to result in receiving a subsequent response from the responder. Embodiments also include a system in which the beacon and responder are configured to perform the described functions. In various embodiments, the duration during which the beacon remains in the low power state is predetermined based either on a default factory setting or a user adjustable setting. | 08-07-2014 |

20130321159 | Pet Tracking - Tracking a pet includes associating a beacon with a responder; polling the responder by transmitting a signal from the beacon; receiving a response from the responder; entering a low power state on the beacon for a predetermined duration; and transalert from miffing an alert the beacon if a subsequent signal from the beacon fails to result in receiving a subsequent response from the responder. Entering a low power state on the beacon decreases the energy requirements. An alert is transmitted from the beacon via a communication network and includes a location message indicating the location of the beacon. The beacon's location is calculated using network-based, SIM-based or device-based methods. Using location determination only after failing to receive the subsequent response and when preparing to transmit the alert prevents accurate location determination being performed when it is not necessary to determine the pet is safe and therefore decreases the energy requirements. | 12-05-2013 |

20130232425 | DETERMINATION OF A TERMINAL'S POSITION FOR DISPLAYING A GUI ELEMENT - Computer-implemented method for providing access control to a function of an analyzer is presented. A user's log-in data is received from a first data entry terminal. Information descriptive of a position of the first data entry terminal is obtained. It is determined whether the position of the first data entry terminal is within a physical operating (PO) area of the analyzer. A user activatable position sensitive (PS) GUI element is displayed on the first data entry terminal if the position of the first data entry terminal is determined to be within the PO area. The activatable PS GUI element triggers, upon activation, the execution of the function. The execution of the function comprises the execution of a physical action by the analyzer. The display of the user activatable PS GUI element is otherwise prohibited or a non-activatable PS GUI element indicative of the function is displayed. | 09-05-2013 |

20090145605 | Staged Actuation Shear Sub for Use Downhole - A shear assembly used downhole to actuate a work string function includes a dampening subassembly to dampen the momentum of moving parts following shearing to avoid excessive acceleration and resulting jarring forces within the work string. A dual shear assembly is provided, in which the dampening subassembly prevents inertial force resulting from a first shear from exceeding the threshold for actuating the second, higher threshold, shear mechanism thereby allowing more precise control of the forces applied to the work string to prevent premature shearing of the second shear mechanism. In a specific embodiment, the dampening subassembly is a hydraulic dampening subassembly. The dual shear assembly may be used, for example, to first open a wash port above a tool lodged within the wellbore to loosen debris above the lodged tool, and then to shear the tool from the work string if necessary. | 06-11-2009 |

20160036366 | TORQUE RIPPLE AND RADIAL FORCE REDUCTION IN DOUBLE-ROTOR SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MACHINES - A double-rotor switched reluctance machine includes a stator, a first rotor, and a second rotor. The stator and the first rotor operate as a first electric machine and the stator and the second rotor operate as a second electric machine. Each electric machine has an output torque profile that fluctuates periodically between a maximum and a minimum instantaneous torque. The double-rotor switched reluctance machine is configured so that when the first and second electric machines are operated at a common electrical frequency, the first and second maximum instantaneous torques are temporally offset, thereby reducing the overall torque ripple of the switched reluctance machine. Additionally, or alternatively, a double-rotor switched reluctance machine is configured so that the first and second rotors are radially offset from each other to reduce a net radial force imposed on the stator by the operation of the first and second electric machines. | 02-04-2016 |
