Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first transistor array over a semiconductor substrate and is distributed among a first plurality of first transistor banks. A second transistor array in or over the semiconductor substrate is distributed among a second plurality of second transistor banks. A first one of the first transistor banks is located between a first one and a second one of the second transistor banks, and the second one of the second transistor banks is located between the first one of the first transistor banks and a second one of the first transistor banks. The first transistor array and the second transistor array may be alternately operated to implement a voltage-conversion integrated circuit.

Abstract: A gaming machine candle system includes a display device, a number of candle light-emitting elements, and a candle control system. The display device has a display device front surface and defines a display area aligned with at least a portion of the display device front surface. The candle light-emitting elements are located in an upper peripheral area of the display device and are configured to emit light through the display device front surface. The candle control system is operatively connected to control the candle light-emitting elements.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a computer-based system and method for automating administration functions in a network environment, and more particularly, for creating and processing non-disclosure agreements. The system comprises a server, a database in communication with the server, an agreement processing and tracking application in communication with said server, a workstation, an agreement screen window on the workstation, an input device for inputting information requested by the agreement screen window, and a computer network connecting the server to the workstation. The information inputted into the workstation is transferred to the server and made available to the agreement processing and tracking application and an agreement processed by the application is made available to the workstation.

Abstract: A binocular apparatus for determining pupil dimensions for the eyes of a subject which include an optical imaging apparatus permitting images defining each pupil to be simultaneously transmitted along separate optical paths to a common optical sensing device. The binocular apparatus is useful in measuring anisocoria and in detecting drug abuse and/or opiate addiction. A method for determining pupil dimensions for the eyes is also presented.
