Abstract: Embodiments related to conducting a wagering game according to the rules of a base game includes defining a finite set of game indicia. In some embodiments the player plays multiple sequential game hand by placing a wager, receiving game indicia from the finite set cumulatively excluding any game indicia previously dealt, playing the game hand to completion, collecting the game indicia from the player and excluding the dealt game indicia from further play, and displaying at least the excluded game indicia or any winning combinations precluded by the excluded game indicia. In some embodiments the game hands continue in sequence until a restoration event, which may include a manually triggered restoration or an automatic restoration event that restores the excluded game indicia. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A communication system uses multiple communications links, preferably links that use different communications media. The multiple communications links may include a high latency/high bandwidth link using a fiber-optic cable configured to carry large volumes of data but having a high latency. The communications links may also include a low latency/low bandwidth link implemented using skywave propagation of radio waves and configured to carry smaller volumes of triggering data with a lower latency across a substantial portion of the earth's surface. The triggering data may be sent in a data stream as data frames without headers, security information, or error checking codes. The two communications links may be used together to coordinate various activities such as the buying and selling of financial instruments.

Abstract: A method for providing a blind reveal warning on multi-focal plane augmented reality display includes receiving remote-vehicle data, which includes information about a plurality of remote vehicles. The remote vehicles include a first remote vehicle located directly in front of the host vehicle and a second remote vehicle in front of the first remote vehicle. The method further includes determining an approach rate of the first remote vehicle to the second remote vehicle.

Abstract: At least one object is detected, via a sensor, in a direction of movement ahead of a host vehicle. A current sensor range is determined based on the detected at least one object. A maximum sensor range is determined based on the sensor. The current sensor range is compared with the maximum sensor range. Upon determining the current sensor range is less than the maximum sensor range by at least a predetermined threshold, driving parameters of the host vehicle are updated based on the current sensor range.
