  • Patent number: 8504395
    Abstract: A system for facilitating a sequence of events and comprising a data bank loader operative to set up for each individual event by loading into an event attendee data bank, IDs and pre-paid balance values, for users expected to attend said individual event, a multiplicity of portable receptacles issued to known users and storing a user ID and a pre-paid balance value for a corresponding user, e-cash filling stations incrementing pre-paid balance values of users in an on-site data bank, and mobile service provider workstations reading portable receptacles, accessing the on-site data bank according to the user ID of each portable receptacle, entering into a transaction with a user if his pre-paid balance value accessed from the on-site data bank is positive, and decrementing the transaction's value from the user's pre-paid balance value in the on-site data bank.

  • Publication number: 20110022655
    Abstract: A computerized venue management system for managing a venue serving clients, the system comprising a multiplicity of portable computing devices each associated with a loyalty rating representing a client of the venue; a plurality of computerized delivery terminals each capable of communicating with and serving any one of the multiplicity of portable computing devices wherein at least a subset of the plurality of terminals is operative to enable delivery of at least one Loyalty based entitlement to at least one client of the venue and, in conjunction with delivery of the at least one entitlement, to enhance the individual portable computing device's loyalty rating, wherein the entitlement is computed to encourage more even distribution of clients over time by weighting at least one client's entitlement positively as a function of presence of the client's portable computing devices at the venue at times of lesser client attendance.

  • Patent number: 7852162
    Abstract: Random number generators are used for entertainment in gambling, lotteries and video gaming devices. True Random Number Generators, as are now currently defined, must be actuated by a physical noise source, typically based on the uncertainty of the phase differences of a stable and an unstable autonomous oscillator. In this invention an autonomous random frequency modulated oscillator driven by a self contained pseudo-random number generator outputs three loosely correlated random binary streams. Included in the invention is a hardware method for proving wandering phase differences and also the existence of a colored random distribution of concatenated nibbles.

  • Publication number: 20100280945
    Abstract: A system for facilitating a sequence of events each comprising a multiplicity of purchases made by known users, the system comprising an on-site data bank recording an ID and a pre-paid balance value for each user expected to attend, a loader operative to set up for each event by loading into the data bank, IDs and pre-paid balance values, for users expected to attend, portable receptacles issued to each user and storing his ID and balance, e-cash filling stations incrementing the balance in the data bank, to reflect pre-payments made thereby, and mobile service provider workstations operative to read portable receptacles, to access the data bank according to the user ID of each portable receptacle, to enter into a transaction with a user if his balance accessed from the data bank is positive, and to decrement the transaction's value from his balance in the data bank.
