Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in connection with an electronic game such as slots, video poker, or other such game. The game can provide a unique, dynamic storyline. For example, a storyline can be presented through graphical or other visual indicators that appear during game play, e.g. symbols or other game elements. The storyline and the graphical or other visual indicators of the storyline can change throughout a gaming session based on results in the game. For example, a winning spin in a slots game can cause the storyline to change in a positive direction while a non-winning spin can cause the storyline to remain neutral or change in a negative direct. Other factors that could influence the storyline can include, but are not limited to, the amount of a wager, the number of spins or the amount of time played so far, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a system for putting into service a brake system having specified approval prerequisites, in particular wherein the brake system is a pneumatic and/or hydraulic braking system, in particular a pneumatic and/or hydraulic braking system of a rail vehicle, wherein the control data set for the brake system is set on the basis of a real reference operation and a virtual test operation in such a way that the specified approval prerequisites are achieved.

Abstract: A method for the operation of a brake control system for a rail vehicle that includes a brake system that has at least partially one friction brake, includes determining at least one characteristic curve using at least one virtual and/or at least one actual reference braking journey of the rail vehicle, which characteristic curve sets at least one control variable for maintaining at least one performance variable in relation to one another, recording the characteristic curve in the brake control system; and using the characteristic curve functioning as a basis for controlling the brake system of the rail vehicle. Furthermore, a brake control system, a brake system, and a rail vehicle are provided.

Abstract: A method controls a compressed-air braking device of a rail vehicle in the case of automatic, quick, or emergency braking, said compressed-air braking device having a controlled electropneumatic braking device having brake pressure control, an uncontrolled brake pressure control device for producing an uncontrolled brake pressure, and at least one pneumatic brake actuator. In response to a signal to trigger automatic, quick, or emergency braking, the controlled electropneumatic braking device and the uncontrolled brake pressure control device are activated simultaneously and a first value for the brake pressure produced by the controlled electropneumatic braking device or a first value for a pilot control pressure representing the brake pressure and a second value for the brake pressure produced by the uncontrolled brake pressure control device or a second value for a pilot control pressure representing the brake pressure are compared with each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake system for a railway vehicle. Said brake system comprises a main air reservoir line which is fed by an air compressor unit. Every bogie truck is provided with at least one compressed-air line which is connected to the main air reservoir line either directly or via a stop valve, a non-return valve and a compressed-air reservoir. The compressed-air line feeds, for example, the service brake valves for impinging the brakes of the bogie truck or a control unit for the spring-loaded brake and/or other control units for other auxiliary components. The service brake valves and/or the spring-loaded brake and/or other auxiliary components are controlled via at least one local, electronic brake control unit.
