20160125556 | POWER MANAGEMENT MESSAGE BUS SYSTEM - A message bus is utilized for energy management/control. The publish/subscribe message bus present between site gateways, a central server farm, and other entities, facilitates exchange of messages pertaining to management and control of power generation and/or storage. On-site publishers/subscribers can include, e.g., PV inverters, battery devices, energy meters, etc. Non-site specific publishers/subscribers can include, e.g., web clients, database servers (for logging), and various server components of the message bus. Messages exchanged between publishers and subscribers can include control messages (e.g., begin charging battery X) and measurement messages (e.g., the current charge of battery X is Y). Embodiments may implement logic at a site gateway prioritizing transmission of messages to local site devices. Thus where a gateway cannot simultaneously transmit device control messages and device data acquisition messages (e.g., due to processing burden or congestion), site gateway logic can prioritize transmission of the control messages over the locally-generated data acquisition requests. | 05-05-2016 |

The system can be implemented using electronic hardware such as an electronic digital table, an internet casino, video gaming terminals/machines, and any other known electronic system. An algorithm is used by a processor such that upon a dealer bust, the cards in the dealer's hand are reversed and the dealer's total is recomputed using the same dealer's cards but in reverse order from the order originally dealt to the dealer. If the reverse dealer total is in a set of preset totals then instead of busting, the dealer is deemed to have made the reverse dealer total. This increases the house advantage and provides functionality for the game to offer an additional player advantage over the standard game, such as enabling the player to view the dealer's initial two cards before the player makes any decision as to how to play the player's hand. | 03-05-2015 |
