  • Patent number: 11170607
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an application enabling users to interface dynamically with live sports. The application monitors active sports games and generates propositions based on the status of the game and presents the propositions to users. Users accept the proposition or move on to additional propositions. The propositions are generated, en masse, each second of game and ranked according to a series of criteria. The criteria are used to provide an artificial intelligence approximation of the most exciting question in sports that moment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11170004
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an application enabling users to interface dynamically with live sports. Algorithmic generation of user-tailored editorial content that influences sports-bettor behavior, to increase engagement and manage risk. By showing bettors editorial content that could influence the side of the bet they might wish to take (for example, by pointing out that a certain player is playing particularly well or poorly), a sportsbook can influence the ratio of bets (or better, dollars wagered) on either side of a given event. On a more individual level, by showing users content that increases their engagement—such as content about a favorite player or local team, for example—the book can increase a user's propensity to bet in general, with a good sense for which types of bet the user is likely to favor.

Users accept the proposition or move on to additional propositions. The propositions are generated, en masse, each second of game and ranked according to a series of criteria. The criteria are used to provide an artificial intelligence approximation of the most exciting question in sports that moment. Interspersed between presented propositions, the system inserts game bonuses as a modified random event.

  • Patent number: 9203010
    Abstract: An apparatus and a system for embedded thermoelectric generators are disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus is embedded in an interface where the ambient temperatures on two sides of the interface are different. In one embodiment, the apparatus is fabricated with the interface in integrity as a unitary piece. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a first thermoelectric material embedded through the interface. The apparatus further includes a second thermoelectric material embedded through the interface. The first thermoelectric material is electrically coupled to the second thermoelectric material. In one embodiment, the apparatus further includes an output structure coupled to the first thermoelectric material and the second thermoelectric material and configured to output a voltage.

  • Publication number: 20140008606
    Abstract: A cylindrical-shaped nanotube FET may be manufactured on silicon (Si) substrates as a ring etched into a gate stack and filled with semiconductor material. An inner gate electrode couples to a region of the gate stack inside the inner circumference of the ring. An outer gate electrode couples to a region of the gate stack outside the outer circumference of the ring. The multi-gate cylindrical-shaped nanotube FET operates in volume inversion for ring widths below 15 nanometers. The cylindrical-shaped nanotube FET demonstrates better short channel effect (SCE) mitigation and higher performance (Ion/Ioff) than conventional transistor devices. The cylindrical-shaped nanotube FET may also be manufactured with higher yields and cheaper costs than conventional transistors.
