Abstract: A gaming machine is disclosed that provides a game in which a player of the gaming machine stakes a wager on one or more outcomes of the game that are represented as symbols arranged in an array of symbol display positions. The player controls the number of outcomes on which a wager is staked by operating a user interface. During play of the game the gaming machine causes a display to display indicia representative of the total number of outcomes selected but not display indicia representative of every available outcome and not display indicia of every selected outcome. Indicia representative of an individual outcome is displayed when that outcome defines a winning combination. A method of providing a graphical user interface for a gaming machine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A gaming machine is disclosed. The gaming machine includes a controller that controls play of a game and selectively operates in a first mode and a second mode of operation. In the first mode of operation a user interface includes a combination of a touch screen on the display and physical buttons on the gaming apparatus. In the second mode of operation the user interface includes only physical buttons. The user interface is configurable to display buttons on the touch screen in different configurations.

Abstract: A feeding system comprising a spoon body having a concave feeding portion surrounded by an upper elliptical edge, a longitudinal handle having a pair of opposite ends, one end of the handle being attached to the spoon body and the other end of the handle constituting a first connector, and a compressible reservoir adapted to contain a predetermined quantity of food therein and having a second connector thereon engageable with the first connector, a passageway extending from the concave portion of the spoon body longitudinally through the handle and to the first connector so as to provide fluid communication between the spoon body and the reservoir, whereby, upon application of compressive force in said reservoir, a portion of the food is forced through the connectors, through the passageway, and into the interior of the spoon body.

Abstract: A support system for a bather's lift for aiding invalids to enter and exit a bathtub is constructed so that the lift assembly may readily be removed and stored away when it is not in use. The system includes a vertical column for supporting the lift. This column has a lower end, which engages a mating projection on a floor plate. The floor plate, in turn, is not bolted to the floor, but includes a pair of downwardly extending lugs which fit into corresponding recesses in the floor. At the upper end, the vertical column has an extension, which passes through a mating hole in a support bar extending parallel to the bathtub and attached to the end walls at each end of the bathtub. This support bar may be used as a shower curtain rod; but when the extension on the end of the vertical column for stabilizing and supporting the seat support passes into it, the entire assembly is rigidly held in place for use of the seat.

Abstract: A vehicle having drive wheels subject to significant vertical movement is equipped with an endless track system that includes rollers mounted on the main frame ahead of the drive wheels, and track belts extending around the rollers and the main drive wheels. The roller axis is considerably displaced from the pivot axis of the beams carrying the drive wheels, and means are provided for accommodating the variations in distance between the pivot axes as the drive wheels change position vertically with respect to the main frame.

Abstract: An attachment for tractors is mounted on the tractor frame, and provides an endless track system for supporting and driving the tractor through power supplied with chains engaging sprockets secured to the conventional drive wheels. The position of the track system permits it to remain elevated until the main drive wheels settle down into soft ground. The track speed is established at the effective peripheral velocity of the drive wheels.
