  • Publication number: 20240161716
    Abstract: Systems and methods permit or cause content to be displayed by a plurality of gaming displays, such as gaming machine displays and/or external displays. Content may be synchronously displayed by multiple gaming displays, such as one or more EGM displays and one or more external gaming displays, where the content which is displayed by the different displays may be the same or be different, and may be provided by a content controller and/or may be provided or triggered by a gaming machine. The systems and methods permit or cause content to be synchronously displayed across multiple gaming displays, such as in time and/or space. In some examples, the content is configured as a content “package” which is associated with one or more displays.

  • Publication number: 20240162746
    Abstract: A method and system for regulating power consumption on an electric power grid is disclosed. Blockchain miners are used as a load bank that can be modulated quickly to accommodate spikes or dips in power generated from wind and solar power producers. The cryptocurrency generated by the blockchain miners allows electric grid owners to recoup the costs of higher overall power production, and accommodates fluctuations that are characteristic of wind and solar power generation devices because the fluctuations from wind and solar devices can be matched by modulating the computational speed of the blockchain miners in equal amounts, thus matching the overall demand and production of the power on the electric grid.

  • Patent number: 11983988
    Abstract: This invention is an engine that allows, for any play in an “in play” or single play betting game, that both calculates “basic odds” (calculated by using historical database mining) and at least one more odds making formula to calculate odds on at least one outcome of a single play in a live event, crossing at least two different odds making formulas to create crossed odds. Then utilizes artificial intelligence to correlate the crossed odds with the final odds on similar historical plays in which odds were calculated. Then utilizes machine learning after the outcome of the play is known to correlate the odds generated by each odds making formula with the most profitable odds calculated on previous similar plays.

  • Publication number: 20240152810
    Abstract: A method for monitoring performance of a ML system includes receiving a data stream via a processor and generating a first plurality of metrics based on the data stream. The processor also generates input data based on the data stream, and sends the input data to a machine learning (ML) model for generation of intermediate output and model output based on the input data. The processor also generates a second plurality of metrics based on the intermediate output, and a third plurality of metrics based on the model output. An alert is generated based on at least one of the first plurality of metrics, the second plurality of metrics, or the third plurality of metrics, and a signal representing the alert is sent for display to a user via an interface.

  • Publication number: 20240147867
    Abstract: Magnetoelectric magnetic tunnel junction (MEMTJ) logic devices comprise a magnetoelectric switching capacitor coupled to a pair of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) by a conductive layer. The logic state of the MEMTJ is represented by the magnetization orientation of the ferromagnetic layer of the magnetoelectric capacitor, which can be switched through the application of an appropriate input voltage to the MEMTJ. The magnetization orientation of the magnetoelectric capacitor ferromagnetic layer is read out by the MTJs. The conductive layer is positioned between the capacitor and the MTJs. The MTJ ferromagnetic free layers are exchange coupled to the ferromagnetic layer of the magnetoelectric capacitor. The potential of an MTJ free layer is based on a supply voltage applied to the reference layer of the MTJ. The MTJ reference layers have a magnetization orientation that is parallel or antiparallel to the magnetization orientations of the ferromagnetic layer of the magnetoelectric capacitor.

  • Patent number: 11970277
    Abstract: The present invention includes a hybrid propulsion system for an aircraft comprising: an engine disposed within a fuselage of the aircraft, two electrical generators disposed within the fuselage and connected to the engine, and two nacelles. Each nacelle comprises a proprotor, and each nacelle houses two electric motors connected to the proprotor. Each electrical generator is connected to the two electric motors in each nacelle. The proprotors provide lift for vertical takeoff and landing in a helicopter mode. A fan is coupled to the fuselage and connected to two additional electric motors. Each additional electric motor is connected to one of the two electric generators. The fan provides thrust for forward flight during an airplane mode. The airplane mode includes increasing power to the fan while decreasing power to the proprotors to zero.

  • Patent number: 11961018
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying and notifying requestors that may be candidates for a particular autonomous vehicle in order to find those candidates that may be willing or able to relax their travel constraints to match the autonomous vehicle. A request flow may involve surfacing the potential option of matching to an autonomous vehicle before setting a specific destination. For example, the request flow may involve determining that an autonomous vehicle is sufficiently near an in-session potential requestor. Before the potential requestor enters a specific destination, the request flow may present the possibility of the potential requestor being matched with the autonomous vehicle. In some examples, the request flow may then provide available drop-off locations that are compatible with the autonomous vehicle for selection by the potential requestor. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240120415
    Abstract: Technologies for a field effect transistor (FET) with a ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a perovskite stack is grown on a buffer layer as part of manufacturing a transistor. The perovskite stack includes one or more doped semiconductor layers alternating with other lattice-matched layers. Growing the doped semiconductor layers on lattice-matched layers can improve the quality of the doped semiconductor layers. The lattice-matched layers can be etched away, leaving the doped semiconductor layers as fins for a ribbon FET. A ferroelectric layer can be conformally grown on the fins, creating a high-quality ferroelectric layer above and below the fins. A gate can then be grown on the ferroelectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20240113220
    Abstract: Technologies for a transistor with a thin-film ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a transistor has a thin layer of scandium aluminum nitride (ScxAl1-xN) ferroelectric gate dielectric. The channel of the transistor may be, e.g., gallium nitride or molybdenum disulfide. In one embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization changes when voltage is applied and removed from a gate electrode, facilitating switching of the transistor at a lower applied voltage. In another embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization of a gate dielectric of a transistor changes when the voltage is past a positive threshold value or a negative threshold value. Such a transistor can be used as a one-transistor memory cell.
