Abstract: Devices and methods for generating and/or communicating using optically formatted image data are provided. One method includes receiving first gaming information from a first wager-based gaming device via a local area network. The method further includes receiving from the first wager-based gaming device a request to include the first gaming information in a machine readable optically formatted image data. The method further includes generating the machine readable optically formatted image data or instructions for creating the machine readable optically formatted image data. Data encoded in the machine readable optically formatted image data comprises a unique identifier and the first gaming information. The method further includes sending the generated machine readable optically formatted image data or the instructions for creating the machine readable optically formatted image data to the first wager-based gaming device. The machine readable optically formatted image data is output to a display device.

Abstract: A gaming machine, such as a video slot or video poker machine, may be configured to use a message-oriented protocol. An application on the gaming machine may request subscription to a topic managed by a message broker. The application may receive a message published to the topic by another application and alter its execution in response.

Abstract: A gaming system compatible with user-controlled mobile devices controlled is described. The gaming system can include gaming devices, such as slot machines, and signage distributed throughout a casino enterprise that transmit gaming information in an optical format, such as via 1-D or 2-D bar codes. An application executing on the user's mobile device can be configured to capture and process the optically formatted gaming information and transmit it to a remote server. The remote server can be configured to provide various games that are affected by the received game information. In particular embodiments, the remote server can be configured to provide lottery type games and scavenger hunt type games.

Abstract: A hydraulic drive system for use in driving a power generator has a hydraulic pump having an input for rotationally driving the hydraulic pump, a flow control valve in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor having a first output and a second output coupled to a hydraulic fluid source, and a pressure regulator positioned intermediate the flow control valve and the hydraulic motor. The pressure regulator is in fluid communication with the hydraulic motor and the flow control valve, and maintains a hydraulic pressure at its input that is higher than at its output to prevent the hydraulic system from stalling. The system further comprises a power generator having an input shaft rotationally coupled to the hydraulic motor first output.

Abstract: This product is a specially designed LED light used in hiking, exploring, and/or camping. This light is used primarily as a light to be worn on the head by means of adjustable elastic straps. The light system is powered by batteries located in a holding unit permanently affixed to the rear most section of the elastic head band harness. It has three additional attachments; a stand for a standing lamp use, a corrugated tense cover for lamp use, and a standard spotlight type of tense cover. This light has a four function, push-button switch; on-off, four bulbs, twelve bulbs, and twenty bulbs. This light system eliminates the use of additional carried equipment to accomplish the same results. It is extremely light in weight, durable, versatile, and emits a strong, long-lasting light source. It ensures hours of dependable light while exploring even the darkest of caves.
