Publication number: 20140274321Abstract: An internet based automated wagering system allows many participant to wager on outcomes of certain events associated with a game. The wagering can occur in real time or can be delayed. Presentations are made to participants indicating various events associated with the game and participants can then send to the system proposed wagers based on possible outcomes of the event as selected by each participant. The system then finds a partner for each participant and an engagement is established between the participants interested in the same wager and event outcome. The system can monitor events and determine their outcomes, or can obtain event outcome information from external sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: BALLCRAPS LLCInventors: Matthew Ulrich, Robert Allison, Apu Shah, Joseph Kimmel, Micah Nickerson

Publication number: 20060222185Abstract: A visual feedback system that activates a visual display when the sound pressure level from a headset attached to the system exceeds a preset level is provided, along with a method of using the same. The visual feedback system is interposed between the audio source and the headset and is either integral to a specific headset or coupleable to any of a variety of headsets. If a non-integral headset is used with the visual feedback system, the system is matched to the characteristics of the selected headset, for example using a selector switch or via a calibration process. During operation, the visual feedback system illuminates a display (e.g., an LED) whenever the sound pressure level from the attached headset exceeds the preset level. The visual feedback system can be implemented using analog or digital circuitry.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2006Publication date: October 5, 2006Applicant: Ultimate Ears, LLCInventors: Medford Dyer, Jerry Harvey, Robert Allison
