Abstract: The innovations herein concern workflow improvements for a hosted gaming environment to provide improved flexibility, scalability, and data security. In particular, a hosted gaming platform may be used to provide backend data services, such as the determination of spin results for slot-based games, to a number of different players and/or game types, while maintaining a consistent and seamless user experience. According to some embodiments, a hosted gaming platform may receive a first spin request from a current round of a first gameplay session executing at a frontend gaming client and then execute the first spin request to produce one or more spin results. The hosted gaming platform may then return the one or more spin results to the frontend gaming client, wherein the one or more spin results arrive at the frontend gaming client during a first reel spin duration of the first gameplay session at the frontend gaming client.

Abstract: A tool for driving a component with a knurling pattern around an outer surface of the component is provided. A shaft, with a first end, is in the form of at least a partial cylinder, where the at least partial cylinder has a first inner diameter that is less than an outer diameter of the knurling pattern. Serrations in the shaft have a pattern that matches the knurling pattern, which allow the serration in the shaft to engage with the knurling pattern so that when the shaft is rotated, the component is rotated.

Abstract: A combination exercise comprising a chest press lifting assembly and a leg press lifting assembly disposed at opposing ends of a user surface, permitting the user to executed a simultaneous combined leg and chest press movement. Independent left and right side subassemblies to selectively engage one or the other side of the body of the user are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for accounting for environmental capacitances caused by an external object when detecting the presence and surface location of an electrically conductive coating on a transparent and/or translucent medium includes: a capacitive sensor that provides multiple capacitances; electronics that are responsive to the capacitances; an excitation source that generates a train of pulses, voltage or current to determine capacitances at the capacitive sensor; a selective indicator; and, a capacitive sensing plate that affects, or is affected by, the pulses, voltage or current from the excitation source.

Abstract: Described are methods and devices for detecting the presence and surface location of an electrically conductive coating on a transparent and/or translucent medium.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a fluorescing substance on a test material includes a light source configured to direct light energy toward the test material, and one or more display features configured to display fluorescing light from the test material. When light from the light source contacts the fluorescing material, display features allows the fluorescing material to project a fluorescing glow into an ambient environment near the apparatus.

Abstract: A connector assembly including a support frame and a module assembly that is movably coupled to the support frame. The module assembly includes first and second connector modules that are positioned adjacent to each other and a coupling member that joins the first and second connector modules. Each of the first and second connector modules is configured to mate with a mating connector along a corresponding mating axis to establish a communicative connection. The coupling member joins the first and second connector modules such that the first and second connector modules move with each other and relative to the support frame. The coupling member permits the first and second connector modules to move relative to each other when the mating connectors engage the first and second connector modules.

Abstract: A system for detecting coatings on a transparent or semi-transparent medium includes a conductive sensor and a light reflection sensor which are configured to determine a presence and the conductivity of the coating on the medium.

Abstract: A detection system for measuring glass that has been placed under strain and the resulting stress lines in the glass has a light source of individual elements configured to create a light distribution. The light distribution has a discontinuity which enhances the viewing of a photoelastic effect in the glass. The light source creates a viewable optical interference (i.e., color changes) which results from stress lines in the glass.

Abstract: A system provides a correlation between a field-tested measured light transmission, light reflection and/or light absorption in at least one transparent, translucent or semi-opaque medium to a pre-set measured light transmission.
