Patent number: 10198903Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing a wagering system. In one exemplary embodiment, state information of a live event such as a sports game may be received in real time. During the event, a plurality of possible future states of the event and their associated probabilities (and odds) may be determined based on the state information, historical information, and current in-game information. A betting market is created for betting on the possible future states at determined odds. The betting market is closed, and winning and losing bets are resolved based on updated state information.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: CG TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, LLCInventors: Lee Amaitis, Andrew Garrood, Mike Colbert, Heather Parks, Anthony Storm, Foster Barton, Thomas D.

Patent number: 10060950Abstract: Shielded probe systems are disclosed herein. The probe systems are configured to test a device under test (DUT) and include a measurement chamber that at least partially bounds an enclosed volume, an aperture defined by the measurement chamber, a probing assembly, and a shielding structure. The probing assembly includes a probe, which is oriented within the enclosed volume, a probe arm, which is operatively attached to the probe, and a manipulator, which is operatively attached to the probe arm. At least a portion of the probing assembly extends through the aperture. The shielding structure extends between the measurement chamber and the probing assembly and is configured to restrict fluid flow through the aperture and shield the enclosed volume from an ambient environment that surrounds the measurement chamber while maintaining at least a threshold separation distance from the probe arm throughout a probe arm range-of-motion thereof.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: FormFactor Beaverton, Inc.Inventors: Michael E Simmons, Bryan Conrad Bolt, Christopher Anthony Storm, Kazuki Negishi, Joseph George Frankel, Robbie Ingram-Goble

Publication number: 20150126272Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herewith for creating and managing wagers on possible states within a live event, such as possible outcomes of subparts of a sporting event or other possible occurrences within the event. An initial state and multiple possible future states of a performance parameter of the event are determined based on state information of the event. A betting market may be created by determining probabilities and odds for the possible future states. Bets may be made on the possible future states via a touch-sensitive display. A payout may be made to a winner who selects a possible future state that actually occurs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2014Publication date: May 7, 2015Inventors: Lee Amaitis, Andrew Garrood, Mike Colbert, Heather Parks, Anthony Storm, Foster Barton, Thomas D.

Publication number: 20150080115Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herewith for creating and managing wagers on possible states or outcomes within a live event, such as outcomes of at-bats, innings, and other subparts of a sporting event or other event. An initial state and multiple possible future states of a performance parameter of the event may be determined based on state information of the event. A betting market may be created based on probabilities and odds determined for the possible future states. The betting market may be closed at a time after bets are received and before an end of an initial state.

Patent number: 8342946Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for wagering during an event. In some embodiments, the system creates real-time markets for betting on outcomes during a live sporting event. The system determines odds for outcomes based on determined probabilities of those outcomes. A betting market is opened. A touch-sensitive display device displays a video of the game including a live image of a first location of a playing area. A bet is received from a first user based on touching the first location. After the betting market is closed, the bet outcome is resolved, and a payout is automatically paid to a winning bettor.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2009Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: BGC Partners, Inc.Inventors: Lee Amaitis, Andrew Garrood, Mike Colbert, Heather Parks, Anthony Storm, Foster Barton, Thomas D.

Patent number: 8342966Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herewith for managing a wagering system. In one exemplary embodiment, a stream of state information of a live sporting event is received in real time. A computer processor determines an initial state and a plurality of possible future states of a first performance parameter of the live sporting event based on the stream of state information. After a beginning of the game and before the start of the event, a probability of occurrence is calculated for at least one of the plurality of possible future states of the first performance parameter based on historical data related to the first performance parameter. The plurality of possible future states are mutually exclusive from one another. During an initial state of the first performance parameter, a signal operative to open a first market for betting on the at least one of the plurality of possible future states is transmitted. The first market comprises betting odds based on the calculated probability of occurrence.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2008Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: CFPH, LLCInventors: Anthony Storm, Foster Barton, Andrew Garrood, Thomas D.

Publication number: 20100160012Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herewith for managing a wagering system. In one exemplary embodiment, state information of a live event may be received in real time. The live event may comprise a sporting event played by human players according to predetermined rules that are used to determine at least one winner of the sporting event. An initial state and a plurality of possible future states of a performance parameter of the live event may be determined based on the state information. A first betting market for betting on at least one of the plurality of possible future states may be created. The act of creating a first betting market may comprise (1) determining by the processor probabilities for the plurality of possible future states, and (2) based at least in part on the probabilities, determining by the processor odds for betting on at least one of the plurality of possible future states.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Inventors: Lee Amaitis, Andrew Garrood, Mike Colbert, Heather Parks, Anthony Storm, Foster Barton, Thomas D.

Patent number: 5711870Abstract: A residual oil feedstock comprises carbon residue measured according to ASTM D-4530. The feedstock is admixed with water/steam in an amount of 10 wt % to 30 wt % and optionally a hydrogen donor, such as methane and/or gas oil derived from recycle. The resulting admixture is subjected to delayed coking reaction conditions. The process yields hydrocarbon liquids in an increased amount. Coke make and gas make are thereby reduced.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1996Date of Patent: January 27, 1998Assignee: Texaco Inc.Inventors: David Anthony Storm, Peter Charles Ricci
