  • Patent number: 11967202
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system is described. The electronic gaming system includes a management server including a processor and a memory device storing computer-readable instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive player identification data and game data. The instructions also cause the processor to request and receive, based upon the player identification data and from a player tracking server, player data associated with the player account, cause display, on a host device associated with a casino host, of at least a portion of the player data and the game data, and determine that the EGM should be disabled for a predetermined amount of time. The instructions further cause the processor to cause display of a message indicating that the EGM will be disabled and disable the EGM for the predetermined amount of time.

  • Publication number: 20230300623
    Abstract: During operation, a computer system may obtain data associated with an electronic device and that has a first format. Then, the computer system may compute a context of the data. For example, the context may include: a location of the electronic device, a type of the data, a type of the electronic device, the first format, and/or a gateway (such as an access point or a radio node in a network) that forwards the data from the electronic device to the computer system. Moreover, based at least in part on the context, the computer system may identify the electronic device associated with the data. Next, the computer system may translate, based at least in part on the identified electronic device, the data from the first format to a second format, where the second format is common to additional data associated with multiple different types of electronic devices.

  • Publication number: 20210386983
    Abstract: Implantable drug delivery devices are provided to have a deployment shape for implantation in the body and a retention shape for retention in the body. The device may have one or more elongated drug reservoirs containing a drug, and the drug reservoir may be formed from a deformable material. In one case, a first filament is attached to the first end of the drug reservoir and second filament is attached to the second end of the drug reservoir, wherein a fastener is positioned about the first and second filaments to permit shortening and prevent lengthening of the filaments with reference to the ends of the drug reservoir, as a means for transforming the device from the implantation shape to the retention shape.
