20130332711 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENT SCHEDULING OF CONCURRENT APPLICATIONS IN MULTITHREADED PROCESSORS - Systems and methods which provide a modular processor framework and instruction set architecture designed to efficiently execute applications whose memory access patterns are irregular or non-unit stride as disclosed. A hybrid multithreading framework (HMTF) of embodiments provides a framework for constructing tightly coupled, chip-multithreading (CMT) processors that contain specific features well-suited to hiding latency to main memory and executing highly concurrent applications. The HMTF of embodiments includes an instruction set designed specifically to exploit the high degree of parallelism and concurrency control mechanisms present in the HMTF hardware modules. The instruction format implemented by a HMTF of embodiments is designed to give the architecture, the runtime libraries, and/or the application ultimate control over how and when concurrency between thread cache units is initiated. For example, one or more bit of the instruction payload may be designated as a context switch bit (CTX) for expressly controlling context switching. | 12-12-2013 |

20130302095 | Spring Lock Culvert Pipe Liner - Devices, apparatus, systems and methods for forming rolled up spiral shaped tubular inserts of interlocking seams of elongated strip material and for inserting the inserts into damaged channels such as culverts, sewer lines, pipes, and the like. The inserts are released to expand outward and unravel until the walls of the unraveling insert abut against interior walls of the damaged channel forming a protective interior wall for the damaged channel. One side of the insert strips can have a hook, and an opposite side of the strips can have a longitudinal groove wherein the hook attaches to and slides within the groove. Slidable surfaces such as bushings, Teflon coatings and O-rings can be used along the interlocking seams to allow for reduced friction as the strip materials are rolled into contracted positions and later expanded out. | 11-14-2013 |

20140309028 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PROVIDE USER-CONFIGURABLE PREFERENCES AND/OR OPTIONS FOR TEAM PLAY ON A SINGLE GAMING MACHINE - A method and system to provide user-configurable preferences and/or options for team play on a single gaming machine is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented gaming system comprises a memory device having stored thereon a gaming application that enables multiplayer, turn-based gameplay among one or more players. A computer-processing unit is operatively connected to the memory device and processes the gaming application to enable the one or more players to specify a condition for determining when a player's turn at gameplay ends. Processing the gaming application further includes determining that the condition is satisfied for a current player and generating a message to indicate that the current player's turn at gameplay is terminated. A display presents the generated message to the one or more players. | 10-16-2014 |
20150018068 | GAMING MACHINES, GAMING SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF AWARDING WILD SYMBOLS DURING PLAY OF A GAMING MACHINE GAME - Disclosed are gaming machines and gaming machine systems and methods including a feature game in which a player is awarded one or more wild symbols. In one embodiment, the number of wild symbols awarded is derived from a number of special symbol occurrences during preliminary play of the game. In another embodiment, each play of a plurality of plays enables an additional symbol in a symbol set as a wild symbol for the remaining duration of the game. | 01-15-2015 |

20120190428 | GAMING SYSTEM, GAMING DEVICE, AND GAMING METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING SYMBOLS BETWEEN LINKED REELS IN MULTIPLE REEL SETS - A gaming device including at least a first reel in a first reel set linked to at least a first reel in a second reel set and at least a second reel in the first reel set not linked to any reel in any second reel set. In a play of the game, symbols are independently generated for each reel set. After an award evaluation, the gaming device removes zero, one, or more symbols from the reels in the reel sets. If any empty symbol positions are formed on the first reel in the second reel set, the gaming device transfers one or more symbols from the first reel of the first reel set to the linked first reel of the second reel set to occupy the empty symbol positions. The gaming device generates symbols to fill the empty symbol positions and provides any awards for any winning symbol combinations. | 07-26-2012 |

20100113140 | Gesture Enhanced Input Device - Various embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a gesture enhanced game play system that includes a display subsystem, a sensor subsystem, and one or more computing subsystems. The display subsystem is configured to display images related to one or more games to be played on at least a first game playing surface. The images include a virtual game layout having a number of demarcations of at least one area associated with the play of the one or more games. The sensor subsystem is configured to detect at least one physical aspect of at least one game related piece when the game related piece is at least proximate the virtual game layout. The one or more computing subsystems communicatively coupled to the display subsystem to control the images displayed by the display subsystem. Additionally, one or more computing subsystems are communicatively coupled to the sensor subsystem to receive information indicative of the at least one physical aspect of the game related piece sensed by the sensor subsystem. The sensor subsystem is configured to detect multiple touch gestures, wherein gestures include simultaneous touches by multiple fingers, consecutive touches by a single finger, touching and sliding of a finger, touching and sliding of multiple fingers, and combinations thereof. | 05-06-2010 |
20110118014 | GAMING DEVICE HAVING A TOP BOX WITH A RECONFIGURABLE POINTER - Various embodiments are directed to gaming machines with a top box having a reconfigurable pointer. The reconfigurable pointer identifies a particular game outcome and is alterable for different games. According to one embodiment, the gaming machine includes a first display located within a main cabinet for presenting a main game, and a second display located in a top box for presenting a second game. In one embodiment, the main cabinet also includes a virtual button deck for controlling the main game and the second game. | 05-19-2011 |
20140235320 | DYNAMIC PALPABLE CONTROLS FOR A GAMING DEVICE - Disclosed is a gaming machine touch screen system incorporating a flat transparent or nearly transparent layer that contains a series of active elements/actuators/chambers that enable a vertical displacement of the touch screen top surface.
