Abstract: A lubrication system for lubricating at least one movable machine component includes a lubricant reservoir containing a lubricant and a fluid line fluidly coupled with the reservoir and having an outlet for dispensing the lubricant on or within the machine component. A valve selectively permits lubricant flow through the fluid line so as to dispense a quantity of lubricant through the fluid line outlet. A sensor senses a property of the machine component or the quantity of lubricant. A control is coupled with the sensor and with the valve, the control being configured to receive information from the sensor, to determine an estimated period of effectiveness of the quantity of lubricant using the sensor information, and to operate the valve based on the estimated lubricant effectiveness period so as to dispense another quantity of lubricant on or within the machine component.

Abstract: A display and input system 10 provides an enhanced means for displaying service and system information 14 from a system network 18 to a player and to a casino employee. The display and input system 10 enables part or all of a video display screen 40 in a gaming device 50, which had previously been used only as a gaming interface 30, to be utilized as a systems interface 20 for data entry and retrieval of the service and system information 14. This provides a dramatic improvement over traditional system components 60 (input/output peripherals) that have been used as in the past to access service and system information 14 from the system network 18, such as 2-line, 20 character VF displays and 12-digit keypads. The display and input system 10, does not control game play itself (e.g., game play betting, game play flow, or game play operation). Rather, the system 10 provides a limited form of game play monitoring, indirectly, with respect to the monitoring player points.
