Patent number: 8113944Abstract: A game of chance includes receiving a stake corresponding to a target game-item from a player. In each phase of the game, a random integer is selected and a game-item corresponding to that integer is removed from play. If the target game-item is removed from play, the player is awarded a return and the game of chance ends. If specific game-items or combinations of game items are removed from play, the player is defeated, and the game of chance ends. A subsequent phase of the game of chance begins if the player is not defeated or awarded a return.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2008Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: John Miller, Jason York, Jeffrey Blazier

Patent number: 7845641Abstract: A method of hosting a press-your-luck challenge includes receiving a stake from a player and iteratively beginning phases of the press-your-luck challenge. Each phase of the press-your-luck challenge comprises dealing an active subset of game items from a set of game items. If the active subset of game items is defeated by an immediately previous subset of game items, the press-your-luck challenge is ended. If the active subset of game items is not defeated by an immediately previous subset of game items, the player is offered a return equal to a total value of the active subset of game items. If the player accepts the return, the player is awarded the return and the press-your-luck challenge ends. If the player declines the return, a subsequent phase of the press-your-luck challenge is begun.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2008Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: John Miller, Jason York, Benjamin Ellinger

Publication number: 20100130277Abstract: A game of chance includes receiving a stake from a player. Each phase of the game of chance comprises assigning randomly selected elements to a number of game stops in the form of a pyramidal matrix. Random selection of an element for each game stop is performed independently of random selection for all other game stops. The player is awarded a return based on a composition of elements assigned to the plurality of game stops.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2008Publication date: May 27, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: John Miller, Jason York, Jeffrey Blazier

The integrated circuit chip is electrically coupled to an optical subassembly (OSA) mounted along an edge of the printed circuit board and capable of emitting or receiving light traveling parallel to the printed circuit board. The packaged IC chip is electrically coupled to the OSA through at least one microwave via extending through the board and a conductive trace formed on the opposed bottom surface of the board.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2004Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Optical Communication Products, Inc.Inventors: Jason Yorks, William Kit Dean, Bob Arnold, Blake Mynatt -
Patent number: 7181146Abstract: A self-adjusting data transmitter driver can be used for transmission of analog or digital data signal over any suitable communication channel, such as, for example, optical, electrical, wireless and satellite. The optical transmitter driver may be used to drive a single laser as well as an array of lasers. An optical transmitter driver including a laser diode driver can be used to provide modulation and bias currents to drive a laser diode in an optical communication system. A high speed photodiode is used to monitor high frequency characteristics of the optical data signal while one or more photodiodes are used to detect source parameters of the optical data signal. To compute the feedback parameters, parameters including BER, data-eye, discrete optical data integrity parameters and discrete optical parameters are determined using the feedback detectors. The feedback parameters are used to adjust the optical quality of the laser output towards optimization.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2001Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Optical Communication Products, Inc.Inventor: Jason Yorks

Publication number: 20060162104Abstract: A multilayer ceramic carrier for an optical element includes a terraced cavity for retaining a vertically receiving or vertically emitting optical element. The multilayer ceramic carrier includes conductive traces interposed between the ceramic layers and which extend into the terraced cavity along the trenches formed in the cavity. A vertical cavity surface emitting laser or vertically receiving optical element is wire bonded to the conductive traces which extend into the cavity. In one embodiment, the terraced cavity of the multilayer ceramic carrier includes a VCSEL and photodetector therein, the photodetector capable of monitoring the output optical power of the VCSEL. The method for forming the multilayer ceramic carrier includes forming a plurality of layers of ceramic tape, joining the layers, then co-firing the stacked layers. The multilayer ceramic carrier is joined to a plastic optical housing which includes an aperture for securing an optical fiber.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2006Publication date: July 27, 2006Applicant: Optical Communication Products, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Malone, Christine Mollenkopf, Jason Yorks, Lance Thompson, Blake Mynatt, Mark Stiehl, Tess Abidi, William Dean, Robert Arnold, Richard Adams, George Jarriel, Dale Isaacson
