20110034252SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALLOWING REMOTE WAGERS (BOTH FOR REAL WAGERS AND FOR FUN/POINTS/PRIZES) BY CONFIRMING PLAYER LOCATION USING NETWORK GENERATED AND/OR NETWORK CENTRIC DATA - A system and method for allowing wager(s) to be placed over a wireless network using a remote device by authenticating an established user account, and validating the location of the player using network centric data. The player utilizes the remote device, which may be a cell phone or remote computing device, connected securely to a wagering system over a wireless network (e.g., 3G). Depending on the type of game, player location is determined using GPS and/or control plane technology utilizing carrier network information. Wagers may be placed using verbal instructions or keypad entries which communicate with an interactive voice recognition system, a dedicated software application, live operator and/or web browser based application. Regardless of the wager placement methodology, the remote device is linked to a wager server and location verification is specific to the subject remote device connected thereto. Other methods of verifying location are utilized as safeguards against spoofing.02-10-2011

20100212415Systems and Methods for Providing a Catalyst - A system for providing a catalyst to a first flow of gas. The first flow of gas has an operating pressure. A pipe carries the first flow of gas from a compressor of a turbocharger to a combustion chamber. The operating pressure of the first flow of gas varies in accordance with an operation of the compressor. The system includes an enclosure, a pump, and an atomizer. The enclosure receives a portion of the first flow of gas at the operating pressure. The pump is positioned in the enclosure. The pump receives from within the enclosure the portion of the first flow of gas. The pump provides the portion of the first flow of gas at a second pressure. Any gas that exits the enclosure is provided by the pump at the second pressure. The atomizer receives a solution having the catalyst and provides a vapor having the catalyst. The portion of the first flow of gas at the second pressure carries the vapor out of the system and into the first flow of gas for delivery to the combustion chamber. A magnitude of the second pressure comprises a magnitude of the operating pressure plus a magnitude of a pressure increase provided by the pump.08-26-2010
20110314905Systems and Methods for Providing a Catalyst - A system for providing a catalyst to a first flow of gas. The first flow of gas has an operating pressure for transporting the first flow of gas to a provided combustion chamber. The operating pressure established by a compressor of a provided turbocharger. The system includes a pump and an atomizer. The pump receives a portion of the first flow of gas. The atomizer receives a solution comprising the catalyst and provides a vapor comprising the catalyst. The pump provides the portion of the first flow of gas at a second pressure greater than the operating pressure. The portion of the first flow of gas at the second pressure carries the vapor out of the system and into the first flow of gas for delivery to the combustion chamber.12-29-2011

20110254219Feeder for Feeding Document to Document Imaging System and Method for Feeding Documents - A method and apparatus for processing documents are provided. The apparatus includes a feeder for receiving a packet of a plurality of documents and separating the documents to serially feed the documents to a scanner. A retard adjacent the feeder is operable in first and second positions. In the first position the retard forms a nip with the feeder so that the retard is operable to impede the progress of one or more documents in the packet while the feeder feeds one of the documents in the packet. In the second position, the retard is spaced apart from the feeder to form a gap between the feeder and the retard. The system further includes a sensor for detecting a characteristic of the documents in a packet indicative of whether the number of documents in the packet exceeds a predetermined threshold. A drive mechanism automatically drives the retard pad between the first and second positions in response to the detected characteristic.10-20-2011
