Patent number: 10249142Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an electronic gaming machine and method for a game of play is provided for use in a gaming establishment, or on a general purpose computing device for offering games with multiple outcomes. The outcome of game play is displayed as a symbol array on a display device. The size of the symbol array may be varied dynamically (expanded or contracted) from one game play to another by adding or removing at least one symbol position once a trigger event has been detected.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Novomatic AGInventors: Heike Schmidt, Daniel Huppert

Patent number: 9805557Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic gaming machine and method for a game of play for use in a gaming establishment, or on a general purpose computing device for offering games with multiple outcomes. The outcome of game play is displayed as a symbol matrix on a display device. The symbol matrix has a predetermined number of rows and columns, wherein symbols are randomly arranged in the symbol matrix. In response to detecting a trigger event, a range for matrix expansion is randomly defined or selected from a number of possible ranges for matrix expansion. An expanded symbol matrix is created and displayed, wherein the range for matrix expansion is indicated in the expanded symbol matrix. Then an active symbol area is determined for at least one consecutive game play, which usually is larger than the symbol matrix and which may be changed dynamically for each game play the feature is triggered.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Novomatic AGInventors: Heike Schmidt, Daniel Huppert

Publication number: 20110155222Abstract: The solar module according to the invention consists of a transparent adhesive layer (1), in which the solar cells (3) that are interconnected by cell connectors (2) are embedded. A transparent, UV stable, thin front layer (4), composed for example of a thin pane of glass, is located above said adhesive layer. The supporting sandwich element (5), consisting of a nucleic layer (6) and glass fibre layers (7) bonded by means of polyurethane is located on the rear face. Fastening elements (8) and an electric socket (9) are integrated into the supporting sandwich element. A barrier film (10), which prevents the entry of water and oxygen, adjoins the sandwich element. The solar module has peripheral edge protection (11) consisting of elastomeric polyurethane, which prevents the lateral penetration of water, dirt and oxygen. The invention also relates to a method for producing the solar module.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2009Publication date: June 30, 2011Applicant: Bayer MaterialScience AGInventors: Hubert Ehbing, Gunther Stollwerck, Dirk Wegener, Jens Krause, Elke Springer, Heike Schmidt, Frank Schauseil

Publication number: 20100059240Abstract: Disclosed is a method for screwing in and tightening a screw connection (1) to a predetermined tightened level (2), especially a predetermined torque level (2) or a predetermined pretension level, with the aid of a hand-held screwing tool (3) comprising a regulated drive unit (4) and/or control functionality, particularly an electric nut runner (3). A tightening phase (B-C-D), during which the screw head rests against the supporting surface (6) of the screw connection (1), starts following a screwing phase (A). In order to improve said method, the speed (N) of the screwing tool (3) is increased to an output speed (7) for the tightening phase (B-C-D) within an acceleration time (8) in the tightening phase (B-C-D) and is lowered within a delay time (9) prior to or until reaching the predetermined tightened level (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2007Publication date: March 11, 2010Inventor: Heike Schmidt
