Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a display system. The methods comprise: detecting an occurrence of an event; initiating a display session based on the event being of an event type to trigger a display session; and selecting media content (MC) for display by computing devices (ICDs) (wherein ICDs are located in areas or sections (SA/S) of a venue); selecting a first SA/S at which display of MC is to begin; identifying first CDs (FCDs) that are located in the first SA/S; causing FCDs to notify users that FCDs are to be moved into positions in which first pixel panels are visible by persons located outside of the first SA/S; and causing each FCD to display a respective pixel portion of a first electronic graphic (FEI) contained in MC, whereby an entirety of FEI is displayed collectively by FCDs.

Abstract: A ball machine comprising an imaging system to capture image data and a processor configured to, for a frame of the image data, analyze the image data using a neural network to detect a plurality of persons, determine a coordinate position on a playing surface of each of the plurality of detected persons, extract features of each of the plurality of detected persons, generate a first set of feature vectors corresponding to the plurality of detected persons, associate a first feature vector to the coordinate position on the playing surface of a first detected person to generate a first unique identifier, associate a second feature vector to the coordinate position on the playing surface of a second detected person to generate a second unique identifier, and control the ball machine to launch balls based on first settings corresponding to the first unique identifier and second settings corresponding to the second unique identifier.

Abstract: A gaming machine provides a spinning reel game having a base game, from which a hold and spin feature game may be triggered when a determined number of configurable symbols are displayed in a base game outcome. When the feature game is triggered, the configurable symbols may be held in place. The player may be provided one or more spins during the feature game in which to collect additional configurable symbols. Any additional configurable symbols may be retained on the display during subsequent spins until the feature game is completed. A trigger symbol, which may or may not be a configurable symbol, may cause reel expansion. The reel expansion may involve adding a row or a column. In some examples, the trigger symbol also may alter the value of at least some configurable symbols. For example, the trigger symbol may cause the value of a configurable symbol to increment.

Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed which is capable of dispensing articles from two locations. The dispenser includes first and second members pivotally connected together by a first hinge to form a first entrance into the dispenser. The first and second members are capable of housing a plurality of wet or dry, sheet-like articles. The first entrance provides reach-in access wherein multiple sheet-like articles can be withdrawn at one time. The second member also has a second entrance formed therein from which the sheet-like articles can be individually withdrawn. The dispenser further includes a third member secured to the first member by a hinge that is coaxially aligned with the first hinge. The third member is capable of pivoting on its hinge to cover the second entrance.

Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed which can house a plurality of folded wet wipes, each having a width. The dispenser includes first and second members pivotally connected together to form an enclosed dispenser having a transverse axis. The first and second members are formed from a semi-rigid material. The dispenser has a height of about 2.5 inches or less and has a top wall with an entrance formed therein. The entrance has a surface area of from between about 15 cm2 to about 95 cm2. The folded wet wipes having a normalized separation force between two adjacent sheets of less than about 65 g/cm. The entrance also has a dimension measured along the transverse axis that when divided by the width of one of the folded wet wipes is at least about 0.7.

Abstract: A chemical is applied to a substrate in discrete areas, and then the substrate is folded in such a manner as to cause the discrete chemical areas to become interior surfaces after folding to reduce or eliminate chemical residues when the exterior surfaces of the substrate contact other surfaces or objects. By applying the chemical to discrete areas of the substrate, degradation or delamination of the substrate can also be minimized or reduced. Additionally, by including either a chemical free edge strip, a chemical free fold strip, or both further improvements in dispensing, preventing delamination, or reduced residue transfer are possible.

Abstract: A scoring apparatus for placing a scoring line on a back surface of a piece of vinyl or rubber cove molding, in order to easily conform the molding about sharp corners. The scoring apparatus uses a frame for pivotally supporting a router between an inoperative position and a work engaging position. The router is mounted on a base that slides within a slot in the frame so that it can be drawn across the cove molding to provide the scoring line.
