20090267624 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICAL TESTING - A test apparatus and device under test has a probe that can be located very close to contact pads and that requires very few solder connections. In addition, the probe can be configured to meet any appropriate and desired electrical specification while still using a same circuit board. There is no need to attach discrete components to a circuit board. Thus, by using a configurable probe, a single circuit board may be used with multiple probes or a reconfigurable probe to test for compliance with a variety of different electrical specifications having different requirements. | 10-29-2009 |

20150080117 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF LINKING GAMING STATIONS ADMINISTERING DIFFERENT WAGERING GAMES TO THE SAME PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT - Systems and methods of operating a major progressive jackpot linked to wagering games having different jackpot triggers with different probabilities. The major jackpot winning probabilities may be normalized such that players may have the substantially the same odds to win the major progressive jackpot regardless on the wagering game being played. During game play, the gaming stations may be randomly selected to participate for a chance to win the major progressive jackpot according to an eligibility probability, which may be inversely proportional to the probability of a jackpot trigger for the wagering game administered by the gaming station. Players may be informed of whether the current round of game play is eligible for the major progressive jackpot after wagers are placed and before the current round of game play. | 03-19-2015 |

20090114266 | High concentration, spectrum spitting, broad bandwidth, hologram photovoltaic solar collector - An improved method of converting solar energy into electricity by spreading the solar spectrum and concentrating it onto solar cells that are band-gaped in the corresponding wavelength range. The spectrally separated solar energy can be concentrated into a normal rainbow line or spread out to individual regions. A low cost solar energy conversion collector results because concentration reduces the quantity of photovoltaic cells needed and spectral splitting increases the energy collected by using multiple appropriately band-gaped solar cells in the different wavelengths. | 05-07-2009 |
