Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080234028MULTIPLIER FOR LOTTERY GAME - An improved multiplier for a lottery game is provided. In connection with a base lottery game, each player receives or selects a multiplier indicia (or other bonus indicia) from a pool of multiplier indicia. In addition to drawings for the base game, a drawing of multiplier indicia and a determination of associated multiplier values is also conducted. For those players winning the base game who also received a multiplier indicia matching the drawn multiplier indicia, the base game prize is multiplied by the associated multiplier value.09-25-2008
20090061980Method and Devices for Increasing Player Interaction in a Game - New methods of conducting games are provided that allow for a more interactive experience for the player so as to increase player participation. New methods of conducting a lottery as well as new games (for example, new playing cards) that may be used with such methods are disclosed. Both predetermined and random results may be included in versions of the present inventive methods and, in a preferred embodiment, the new lottery game combines instant results with subsequent results determined by one or more drawings.03-05-2009
20090117966Method and System for Game Show Themed Dual Component Lottery Game - A method and system for conducting a terminal based lottery game having an instant game component and raffle component includes point of sale terminals where paying players are issued a game ticket having an instant lottery game play. A randomly generated raffle number is assigned to each game ticket, with all assigned raffle numbers being eligible to win in a subsequent raffle drawing. The raffle drawing is conducted in conjunction with an independent third party event, such as a televised game show, wherein the raffle prize is a function of a prize awarded in the event independent of the lottery game.05-07-2009

20100029362METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING PROBABILITY OF AN OUTCOME IN A RANDOM GENERATION EVENT - An online lottery game system and methodology involves, for each play of the game, a player choosing a number of player indicia from a field of the indicia. A subset of the indicia is randomly generated, and the player's indicia is compared to the subset to determine a winning game play. The number of indicia in the subsets is varied between different game plays such that a blend of the winning probabilities for each subset for all of the game plays produces a desired overall winning probability.02-04-2010

20110202924Asynchronous Task Execution - Techniques for asynchronous task execution are described. In an implementation, tasks may be initiated and executed asynchronously, thereby allowing a plurality of calls to be made in parallel. Each task may be associated with a respective timeout that triggers an end to execution of the task. If a timeout for a low priority task expires without completing both the low priority task and a relatively higher priority task, then the low priority task may use the relatively higher priority task to extend execution time of the low priority task in order to allow additional time to perform the low priority task.08-18-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100166904Alternate Polymer Extrusion system with accumulator - An extrusion system and method uses an accumulator to control and use excess plastic melt. The accumulator is situated between an extruder and a gear pump. The accumulator includes an accumulator housing to store excess plastic melt from the extruder and an accumulator spring connected to an accumulator piston to subsequently send the excess plastic melt to the gear pump. In another embodiment, the accumulator includes an accumulator housing to store excess plastic melt from the extruder and a hydraulics system to send the excess plastic melt to the gear pump. The accumulator can be a first in first out (FIFO) device having a melt passage through the accumulator piston. The system and method are used particularly advantageously in Alternate Polymer extrusion installation in which gear pumps regularly increase and decrease their speed but in which the melt-supplying extruder cannot accommodate such rapid speed changes.07-01-2010

20110231311METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING MESSAGES IN A BILL PAYMENT AND PRESENTMENT SYSTEM OVER A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - In a bill payment and presentation system, a method for electronically routing billing information over a communications network is provided, using an open financial exchange communication protocol. The method provides for a centrally located mainframe system and a switching system for coordinating the routing of messages between customer service providers and biller service providers. In particular, the method collects at the CSPs and at the BSPs mainframe application files comprising the messages, forwards these files in batch mode to the mainframe system and converts with a switching system these mainframe files into web-enabled addresses, allowing for the effective transmission of financial billing information in flat-file and/or Internet-based form.09-22-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090239577Method and system for multimedia captures with remote triggering - There is provided a system for triggering a multimedia unit to capture multimedia. The system comprises a multimedia unit configured to capture multimedia, which may be images, video, or other sensory information. The system may further comprise a wireless device, such as a cell phone, configured to send a triggering signal, such as an SMS message, wherein the triggering signal includes an identifier for the wireless device. The system may further comprise a wireless network, such as a cellular network, configured to carry the triggering signal and configured to carry the multimedia. The system may further comprise a multimedia host configured to receive the multimedia via a system network and to present the multimedia to a user of the system for capturing multimedia via a built-in multimedia display or to a client computer via the Internet.09-24-2009

20090293198Covering system - The covering system includes a plurality of cover members having releasable fasteners disposed on the periphery of the cover members for forming a case or cover for a pillow, cushion, or other article, such as a laptop computer. The releasable fastener may be a zipper fastener in which each cover member has a stringer attached about its periphery and a slider that is not permanently attached to a cover member, but which is temporarily locked to the teeth assemblies of two cover members so that the cover members can be zipped to form a case for the article. The two cover members may have different designs, and a single cover member may have different decorative designs on opposite sides to form a reversible cover member. The covering system permits panels to be interchanged or reversed to provide the case with any desired decorative appearance.12-03-2009
20100299886Zipper with removable slider - The zipper with removable slider includes two completely separable tooth rows each having opposite first and second end pins overlapping one another. The slider includes two tooth row passages extending therethrough, with an end pin receptacle overlying the tooth row passages. The tooth row passages accept passage of the two tooth rows therethrough and merge to selectively join or separate the tooth rows to form or separate the zipper chain, depending upon the direction of slider movement. The end pin receptacle accepts the end pins at adjacent ends of the first and second tooth rows, and selectively locks those end pins in place in the slider to secure the slider in position on the zipper assembly and hold the zipper closed. The slider may be completely removed from both tooth rows and the panels to which the tooth rows are attached may be separated, inverted or interchanged as desired.12-02-2010
