Each actor can then be evaluated to estimate whether she is a good actor (possesses the characteristic). If so, favored opportunities may be made available, such as the opportunity to buy high-demand tickets. An actor may further have the opportunity to hold or reserve tickets for a period time, during which other actors cannot purchase them. A fee for holding or reserving tickets (and/or maintaining the hold or reserve) can be dynamically set based on market factors.

Seats are assigned at a later time when the user enters the venue or checks in for the event. When a user's ticket is part of a group of tickets, seats are assigned for the entire group rather than merely assigning a ticket for the user. | 04-30-2015 |

In some embodiments, the predictive landing failsafe system may short two or more terminals of the AC motor in response to the selected condition. In some embodiments, one or more resistors may be coupled between the two or more terminals, the resistors lowering the short-circuit current and thus making a more smooth stop for the AC motor. In some embodiments, the AC motor may be used in a drawworks. | 09-17-2015 |
