Patent number: 10261943Abstract: Data to be moved from a source system to a target system, for a set of tenants, is first identified. The data is enumerated by a first computing instance in the source system to obtain an enumeration list. Data is copied from the source system to the target system based on the enumeration list by a second computing instance. The data in the source and target systems is then enumerated by a third computing instance to determine whether any data is still to be moved and another enumeration list is generated. The data still to be moved is then moved based on the other enumeration list.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2015Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shyam Narayan, Burra Gopal, Adrian Fanaru, James Rupke, David Charles Oliver, Daniel Keith Winter, Parul Manek

Publication number: 20180082545Abstract: A gaming method enables active participation in a physically competitive skill-based game, as well as passive participation in the physically competitive skill-based game. One or more players, or active participants, in the game may participate in and may wager on the outcome of the physically competitive skill-based game, while one or more other individuals, or passive participants, who do not actively participate in the physically competitive skill-based game may also wager on an outcome of the game (i.e., the same game).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2017Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Keith Winters, Matthew Mahaney, Paul Steelman

Publication number: 20180040203Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to gaming systems and, more specifically, to gaming systems for use in casinos. Even more specifically, this disclosure relates to systems that enable one or more players, who wager on the outcome of a game, to actively participate in the game and one or more other individuals, who do not actively participate in the game, to wager on the outcome of the game. A gaming station and a wagering station may be incorporated into the same gaming console, with the wagering station positioned behind a portion of the gaming station that is to be occupied by an active participant in a game. Each gaming console may include a public display monitor that may provide passive participants in the game and passersby with a wide view of the game. Gaming consoles may be grouped together such that their public display monitors may collectively provide different portions of such a wide view of the game.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: Keith Winters, Stephen Steelman, Matthew Mahaney, Paul Steelman, Keith Russell
