If the player accepts one of the alternative wager propositions, the player risks an amount of the player's remaining credit balance for a chance to win an alternative award. If the player wins the alternative award, the gaming system enables the player to play one or more plays of the wagering game at the designated wager amount. If the player does not win the alternative award, the gaming system reduces the player's credit balance by the amount risked. | 11-06-2014 |

20110093718 | HYBRID SIGNATURE SCHEME - A signature scheme is provided in which a message is divided in to a first portion which is hidden and is recovered during verification, and a second portion which is visible and is required as input to the verification algorithm. A first signature component is generated by encrypting the first portion alone.

A second signature component is then formed using the intermediate component and the signature comprises the first and second components with the visible portion. A verification of the signature combines a first component derived only from the hidden portion of the message with the visible portion and produces a hash of the combination. The computed hash is used together with publicly available information to generate a bit string corresponding to the hidden portion. If the required redundancy is present the signature is accepted and the message reconstructed from the recovered bit string and the visible portion. | 04-21-2011 |

When the intention is to remove or unload the capacitance from Vin, the MOSFET is primarily turned off, however, the MOSFET is still periodically turned on with appropriate voltage levels in response to a clock signal for periods of time when the loading of the capacitance on Vin is tolerable to the system, thereby ensuring minimal linearity degradation of Vin due to the programmable capacitor array system. | 09-18-2014 |
