| 20080268959 | GAMING COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT AND PERSONALIZATION - The present invention involves methods and devices for controlling many aspects of a player's gaming experience, including game themes presented, game denomination, pay models, content and promotions. Some implementations of the invention provide a casino operator the necessary tools to create subsets of customers, often referred to herein as “communities,” and to control the gaming experiences of players in these communities. In some such implementations, communities may be created and/or modified according to various criteria, some of which may be weighted more heavily than others. Specific marketing messages, promotions, etc., may be provided to attract and retain players having similar characteristics and preferences. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100184505 | TIERED VERIFICATION - Methods and devices for evaluating risk profiles for potential participants in e-commerce transactions, such as online wager gaming, are described. Player attributes such as identity, age, location, and/or residence may be profiled using data service providers (“DSPs”). The best available DSP(s) may be selected, e.g., according to the jurisdiction. Players may be evaluated according to DSP scores and assigned to levels or “tiers” with predefined attributes, e.g., predefined transaction limits. For example, relatively lower-risk players may be assigned to tiers with relatively higher deposit and withdrawal limits, and vice versa. Efficiencies may be created by differentiating verification steps that are performed during the registration process from those that are performed when a player attempts to make a transaction. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20120109893 | PRIVATE DATABASE LOGGING WITH MINIMAL STORAGE REQUIREMENTS - An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for logging operations for a database. An operation event module detects an operation on a record in a database table. A translation module creates a changed field bit field, one or more operation time bit fields, and a user bit field. The translation module creates the changed field bit field by encoding indicators of one or more fields of the record that the operation is configured to change, creates the one or more operation time bit fields by encoding time information for the operation, and creates the user bit field by encoding information of a user associated with the operation. A consolidation module packs at least the changed field bit field, the one or more operation time bit fields, and the user bit field into a single bit array. A log module stores the bit array in a change log. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120117385 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA ENCRYPTION - Embodiments of the invention relate to message based encryption and authentication to support secure communication of a message. A time stamp embedded within the message is evaluated to ensure that a received message has not been subject to a significant time delay. More specifically, tools are employed to evaluate the authenticity of the message subject to the characteristics of the embedded time stamp. A message subject to a time delay is considered to be tainted and is not authenticated for receipt by a target device. | 05-10-2012 |

| 20100192499 | ENERGY SAVING INSULATED SHINGLE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME - Disclosed herein are an energy saving insulated roofing shingle and related method of manufacturing. One embodiment of the shingle has an insulator attached to, or formed as part of, the interior surface of an outer layer across a portion of the headlap area about equal to the designed exposure surface area of the installed shingle. The insulation reduces the heat absorbed by the shingle and transmitted into the deck that in turn heats the attic space. The disclosed principles reduce the heat load directed into a building from the sun. In addition, the thickness of the insulation under the shingle nailing area may be minimized, thereby allowing for the normal asphalt shingle surfaces to lay against each other. Moreover, to reduce the overall shingle thickness, the insulation could replace all or part of the backsurfacing materials applied to the back of shingles in the location where the insulation is added. Additionally, asphalt applied to the back of the shingle could be reduced to accommodate insulation thickness. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100196647 | SHINGLE SEALANT AND ADHESIVE - Disclosed roofing shingles and related methods of manufacturing provide a reinforced material that strengthens the bond between shingles by reducing the affect of heat on the sealant/adhesive between shingles in one or more areas where sealant/adhesive is applied or where it contacts other shingles once installed on a roof deck. The reinforcement material acts as fiber reinforcement to the sealant/adhesive. The reinforcement material intertwines with the sealant/adhesive, and thereby helps the shingles resist delaminating or slipping or blow-off when subjected to high heat conditions or on very steep sloped roofs. The reinforcement material helps retain the strength of the adhesive bond between shingles in these conditions by providing fiber reinforcement to the adhesive bond. Thus, as the adhesive turns from a solid state to a more liquefied state in hot temperatures, the totality of the reinforcement material does not so transform, and thus retains more strength in the adhesive bond between the two shingles than mere adhesive/sealant alone. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20110159237 | Antimicrobial delivery system for roof coverings - The disclosed principles provide a roofing product and related methods of manufacturing having antimicrobial properties.
