Abstract: A drill string component, in particular a drilling collar component, an MWD component, or an LWD component for use in oilfield technology and particularly in deep drilling, is provided. A method of making a drill string component, and a steel alloy useful in making a drill string component, are also provided.

Abstract: A gaming and/or entertainment device, in the form of a coin or token-operated slot machine and/or gambling device, having a plurality of separate display units for displaying game information. At least one of the display units is provided with a touch panel for inputting control commands by touch. The touch panel is of continuous design over, in each case, at least part of at least two different display units, at least one display unit of which has a concave display surface. As a result of the touch panel extending over the boundary region or the intermediate space between two display units, it is possible, despite the use of a plurality of display units, to obtain a continuously closed-off device front. The design of the corresponding device wall is simplified and the protection against penetration into the housing at gap areas is increased.

Abstract: An illuminated frame system for framing a display unit, such as a screen and the like, comprises a frame on which lighting means, preferably in the form of LEDs, are arranged. An illuminated frame system of this kind may advantageously be used in gaming devices which have at least one screen.

Abstract: A game and/or entertainment device, more particularly in the form of a coin operable or token operable gaming machine and/or gambling device with multiple separate display units for presenting information, more particularly game contents and/or game information, wherein at least one of the display units is furnished with a touch panel for inputting control commands by touching. The touch panel is formed continuously over at least one part of each of at least two different display units. By extending the touch panel across the boundary region or intermediate space between two display units, it is possible to achieve a continuously closed off front of the device, despite the use of multiple display units, whereby the structure of the corresponding device wall is simplified and the security against intrusion into the housing at gaps is increased.

Abstract: The present invention is a gaming machine such as a slot machine having a housing with a light-effect arrangement for creation of light effects. The gaming machine has at least one reflector arranged on the housing such that the reflector is positioned with respect to a remote light source to reflect a light beam from the remote light source at least partly towards the front of the housing. The housing may include a light source, which may be a strip of LED lights that emits a light beam. This arrangement is particularly beneficial in modern gaming devices. A higher degree of design freedom relative to light source arrangement is achieved through the use of reflectors and the light source.
