Abstract: A gaming system includes an electronic gaming machine (EGM) located within a defined zone of a gaming venue, a transmitter configured to output a first unique identifier, and a server including a processor and a memory storing instructions, where the instructions cause the processor to receive, in connection with a request at a mobile terminal to transfer funds to a gaming wallet accessible at the EGM, a communication from the mobile terminal including the first unique identifier, determine, based on the received first unique identifier, whether the mobile terminal is within the defined zone, and transmit, in response to determining whether the mobile terminal is within the defined zone, a signal to the mobile terminal indicating whether the mobile terminal is within the defined zone.

Abstract: A quarantine wallet associated with a user account that support funds to be quarantined for a defined period. A user account server determines that a respective win amount satisfies one or more funds quarantine criteria and removes at least a portion of the win amount satisfying the one or more funds quarantine criteria from access by one or more wallets associated with a user account. The user account server stores the removed portion of the win amount as a quarantined fund amount in a quarantine wallet associated with the user account. The user account server sets a release time for the quarantined funds amount in the quarantine wallet and performs a transfer of the quarantined funds amount to the one or more wallets based on satisfying the release time.

Abstract: An electronic gaming system is configured to provide a wagering session on an electronic gaming machine based upon one or more communications received from a mobile device of a player, where the communications indicate a signal strength of a wireless beacon relative to the mobile device. For example, the mobile device may provide a first communication indicating that the mobile device is within a first distance of the electronic gaming machine. In response, the wagering session may be provided or initiated. Likewise, during gameplay, the mobile device may provide a second communication indicating that the mobile device has moved to within a second distance of the electronic gaming machine. In response, the wagering session may be continued or terminated, depending upon, for example, a comparison of the second distance to a threshold second distance.

Abstract: The utilization in a vehicle of the third derivative of rotational speed differences to enable early detection of the likely development or actual initiation of a condition involving wheel slip or loss of traction between the wheel and the surface over which it is traveling and to provide information to means to prevent the development of or reduce, inhibit, limit, eliminate, or control that condition is materially superior to the previously-disclosed methods intended for those purposes. The utilization of the third derivative of rotational speed differences for the indicated purposes produces highly useful and unexpected results and effectively addresses the problem of the detection of slip or loss of traction by means of a method of analysis not previously recognized or applied to that problem.

Abstract: A technique for supporting a user of a first device coupled to a second device of a support agent. A current screen image of the first device is sent to the second device. The second device displays the current screen image of the first device. The agent device determines the position of an input icon to be displayed on the current screen image, and the position is sent to the first device. The first device displays an input icon on the current screen image on the first device based on the position. The second device also determines how the user should operate the input icon on the first device. Corresponding operation information is transferred to the first device.

Abstract: A passive or active release device for a medicament or other substance for a target species mammal. The device is of a kind capable of being inserted into a body cavity of a target species mammal and deploying resiliently to one or more retention condition(s). The device is wholly or in part moulded from poly (-caprolactone) (optionally impregnated with at least a physiologically effective agent to be released therefrom or optionally to carry some device or material to be body cavity retained at least for a period). The device is preferably of substantially a “T” or “Y” shape.
