  • Publication number: 20240104995
    Abstract: A gaming device includes a processor and a memory storing symbol data, trigger probability data for wager options, and instructions. The symbol data includes reel strips including positions dynamically configurable with trigger symbols associated with feature games, and trigger symbol sets including different versions of the trigger symbols and corresponding to the wager options. The instructions, when executed, cause the processor to receive a selected wager option; configure the reel strips by selecting a trigger symbol from the trigger symbol set corresponding to the selected wager option for the dynamically configurable positions; select symbols from the configured reel strips for display in symbol positions; control display of the selected symbols; and upon the selected symbols including a trigger symbol associated with a feature game, determine whether the feature game is triggered based on the trigger probability data for the selected wager option and an identity of the trigger symbol.

  • Patent number: 11639678
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a diesel exhaust fluid tank for a vehicle. An exemplary diesel exhaust fluid tank includes a tank body to store diesel exhaust fluid, a tank supply line to deliver the diesel exhaust fluid to a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) device, and a tank siphon line to drain the diesel exhaust fluid from the tank body. The tank siphon line is mounted to the tank body and includes a siphon inlet (e.g., devoid of a filter) at or proximate to a bottom wall of the tank body. The integrated tank siphon line avoids any need to remove tank components to feed a siphon tube into a tank. Further, the tank siphon line leverages preexisting components in the diesel exhaust fluid tank and/or the vehicle to siphon diesel exhaust fluid as needed.

  • Patent number: 10024440
    Abstract: There is disclosed a fuel tank valve assembly 24 for a fuel tank 4. The fuel tank valve assembly comprises a discharge valve 30 which in normal operation is closed, and which can be opened to discharge fluid from the fuel tank; and a water passageway 56 across which extends a membrane 60 which is permeable to water but impermeable to fuel. There is also disclosed a fuel tank 4 comprising a fuel tank valve assembly 24.

  • Publication number: 20160322776
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a CO2-N2-He gas dynamic laser. The operation of a gas dynamic laser involves heating the gas, rapidly cooling that gas in a supersonic nozzle, flowing the gas through an optical cavity wherein stimulated emission (lasing) takes place, and exhausting the gas. Isentropic equations are used to find flow properties throughout the nozzle and diffuser from the properties at their inlets in order to produce a Shock-Free minimum length nozzle.

  • Patent number: 9285045
    Abstract: An aircraft fuel tank vent (100, 200, 300) having a first interface (102, 202, 302) for fluid communication with an aircraft fuel tank interior, and a second interface (104, 204, 304) for fluid communication with an aircraft fuel tank exterior, the vent comprising: a first flow path (118, 218, 326) between the first interface and the second interface, the fuel tank vent having a baffle (126, 226, 317) positioned in the first flow path, and, a second flow path (124, 224, 326) between the first interface and the second interface, the fuel tank vent having a overpressure device (120, 220, 322) positioned in the second flow path, wherein the first and second flow paths are common along at least a part of their length such that they are coincident at the second interface.
