Patent number: 8303401Abstract: A progressive jackpot (PJP) system of the invention increments two types of jackpot values. A PJP controller increments a first jackpot value by a percentage of each bet placed on gaming machines. The increment rate of the first jackpot value is predetermined from a payout percentage of the PJP system. A second jackpot value is incremented at a higher rate than the first jackpot value. Each gaming machine or the PJP controller may increment the second jackpot value. The actual amount of an award for a jackpot corresponds to the second jackpot value. The second jackpot value is reduced at appropriate intervals, even if no jackpot has been won. Preferably, the probability of the reduction of the second jackpot value is adjusted, and thereby, the average difference between the first and second jackpot values at the time a jackpot has been won is adjusted to be zero.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2006Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Konami Gaming, IncorporatedInventor: Toshiyuki Yoshimura

Publication number: 20090054129Abstract: A gaming machine comprises a display unit that displays video reels using computer graphics. Symbols are moved and stopped on each video reel. A game controller unit selects a type of symbols and an arrangement of symbols at random, and provides a player with an award if a winning combination appears on a payline in the arrangement of symbols and the player has placed a bet on the payline. A display controller unit causes the display unit to move symbols on each video reel, and then stop symbols in the arrangement. The display controller unit further causes the display unit to change a symbol of the selected type to a special symbol while moving symbols. Special symbols appear in a prominent form, e.g., in a background color complementary to a background color of other symbols, or in a metallic color, or in a blinking, flashing, or sparkling pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2007Publication date: February 26, 2009Applicant: Konami Gaming, IncorporatedInventors: Toshiyuki YOSHIMURA, Yuji Ono

Publication number: 20070232386Abstract: In a gaming machine of the present invention, a memory unit stores main and sub-credit data. The console unit accepts first or second bet data. The controller unit executes first and second game program when the console unit has accepted the first and second bet data, respectively. The controller unit determines whether or not to provide the player with an amount of credits in first and second games conducted by the first and second game programs, respectively. The credit processing unit updates the main and sub-credit data to reduce an amount of credits by an amount of a bet represented by the first and second bet data, respectively. The credit processing unit further updates the sub-credit data to increase an amount of credits by a predetermined amount each time the controller unit determines to provide an amount of credits in the first game.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: KONAMI GAMING INCORPORATEDInventor: Toshiyuki YOSHIMURA

Publication number: 20070225060Abstract: In a video slot machine according to the present invention, a display unit displays video reels. Each video reel includes first or second series of symbols, which are equivalent except for the types of wildcard symbols. A console unit allows a player to add an extra bet to normal bets. A display control unit causes the display unit to use the first or second series of symbols when the console unit has accepted normal bets with or without an extra bet, respectively. Thus, the different types of wildcard symbols appear on the video reels depending on the types of bets. If a winning combination is formed in the arrangement of the stopped symbols, an award processing unit changes the amount of an award depending on which type of wildcard symbol the winning combination includes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2007Publication date: September 27, 2007Applicant: KONAMI GAMING INCORPORATEDInventor: Toshiyuki YOSHIMURA

Patent number: 5512328Abstract: In forming a thin film pattern, first a seed material film is formed on a substrate and then exposed using electron beam lithography, for example, in the shape of the pattern. The latent image is then removed and an oriented material is deposited on one of the seed material and the substrtate, which have different hydrophilicity properties, to form the pattern. The oriented film is formed by an LB film forming method, in one example, and in another example the LB film material is a cresol novolak resin having a proportion of p-cresol novolak to m-cresol novolak of at least 20%.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1993Date of Patent: April 30, 1996Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshiyuki Yoshimura, Naoko Miura, Shinji Okazaki, Minoru Toriumi, Hiroshi Shiraishi

Patent number: 5270232Abstract: A very thin oxide film is formed at an opening formed in an insulator film and a conductor layer, on a substrate, and impurity-containing polysilicon is formed on the sidewall of the opening. Impurity diffusion from the from the silicon into the substrate through the very thin oxide film causes a lowering in effective concentration of the diffused impurities, resulting in the formation of shallower source/drain region. Thereafter, a gate insulator film and a gate electrode are formed on the substrate surface in an area bounded by an insulator film formed on the sidewall of the opening. The gate electrode smaller than the opening, the size of which corresponds to the limit of processing, and the shallower source/drain region afford a miniaturized MOSFET.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1992Date of Patent: December 14, 1993Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Shinichiro Kimura, Shoji Shukuri, Hiromasa Noda, Digh Hisamoto, Hideyuki Matsuoka, Kazuyoshi Torii, Natsuki Yokoyama, Toshiyuki Yoshimura, Kazunori Tsujimoto, Eiji Takeda

Patent number: 4977435Abstract: A semiconductor field effect transistor is provided which permits controlling of the phase of carriers between a source region and a drain region formed in a first semiconductor layer. Such control can be used to modulate characteristics such as the electric conductivity and drain current of the transistor. To accomplish this control, a gate electrode is formed over a portion of said first semiconductor layer between the source and drain regions. The gate electrode splits to form first and second branches at a first location adjacent to the source region. These first and second branches subsequently rejoin one another at a second location adjacent to said drain region. When a potential is applied to the gate electrode, it will produce first and second two-dimensional carriers conduction paths at a surface of the portion of the first semiconductor layer under the first and second branches.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1988Date of Patent: December 11, 1990Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshiyuki Yoshimura, Eiji Takeda, Hideyuki Matsuoka, Yasuo Igura
