  • Patent number: 9430917
    Abstract: A wagering game system (“system”) and its operations are described herein. In some examples, the operations include electronically determining, via an electronic communication interface of the system, display coordinates associated with first content of a first wagering game application (“first application”) for presentation on an electronic display device associated with the system. The first application is independent from a second wagering game application (“second application”). The operations can further include automatically mapping, via an electronic processing unit of the system, second content for the second application to the display coordinates. The operations can further include, based on the mapping, electronically presenting, via the electronic display device, the second content affixed relative to the first content during concurrent game play of the first application and the second application.

  • Publication number: 20160042589
    Abstract: A wagering game system and its operations can include presenting wagering game content for a casino wagering game to have a two-dimensional appearance via an autostereoscopic display device. The operations can further include detecting an indication to change a presentation of the two-dimensional appearance without stereoscopic depth to have a stereoscopic three-dimensional appearance having stereoscopic depth. The operations can further include detecting a game condition for the casino wagering game, determining a degree of stereoscopic three-dimensional depth to use for the wagering game content based on a value for the game condition, and changing the presentation of the two-dimensional appearance to the stereoscopic three-dimensional appearance in response to determining the degree of the stereoscopic three-dimensional depth to use.

  • Patent number: 9224267
    Abstract: Some examples described include a system to perform operations that include detecting, via use of a gaming plug-in, that first content is presented in a main display area of a web browser. The operations can further include, after detecting that the first content is presented, detecting that second content was previously presented via the main display area of the web browser. In some examples, the second content is associated with gaming content. The operations can further include providing, in a graphical-user-interface object of the web browser separate from the main display area of the web browser, information related to the gaming content in response to the detecting that second content was previously presented via the main display area of the browser.

  • Patent number: 9193942
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a soap recycling and conversion process that processes and converts bar soap remnants or pieces into liquid soap, in anti-bacterial, organic or non-organic forms. Soap remnants are treated with an anti-bacterial cleansing solution, including ethyl alcohol; then either grated or broken into smaller pieces. The remnants or grated remains are then dissolved in warm water, either tap or purified, and combined with the conversion solution, which consists of water, glycerin, citric acid and sodium laureth sulfate (not used in organic solution). The liquefied mass is either heated in a microwave for 30-120 seconds, depending on microwave wattage; or heated in a crock pot until consistent; or whisked at room temperature until the proper consistency of liquid soap. The solution is then packaged for reuse.

  • Patent number: 9168454
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the operations can include detecting a first indication to toggle a presentation of wagering game content from a two-dimensional mode to a three-dimensional mode and toggling the three-dimensional mode in response to detecting the first indication. In some embodiments, the operations can further include automatically toggling the presentation of the wagering game content back to the two-dimensional mode in response to detecting a second indication. In some embodiments, the operations can further include detecting a condition that specifies a degree of three-dimensional presentation to enable for the three-dimensional mode and presenting the wagering game content with the degree of three-dimensional presentation. In some embodiments, the operations can further include detecting a change to the condition and automatically adjusting the degree of the three-dimensional presentation based on the change to the condition.

  • Patent number: 8978757
    Abstract: A remote actuation tool equipped with an intermediate volumetric mechanism for enhanced tool durability in high pressure differential downhole environments. Valve segments of the tool are actuated by power available due to a pressure differential between atmospheric and hydrostatic chambers of the tool. Yet, the intermediate volumetric mechanism, whether in the form of a discrete chamber or a hydraulic line system, minimizes stresses of the differential pressure on tool hydraulics. Thus, failure rates are substantially reduced. So, for example, the tool may be reliably employed in downhole environments which present differential pressures in excess of about 30,000 PSI.
