  • Publication number: 20240087408
    Abstract: A method and system are described that involve operations to communicatively couple a personal mobile device to an additional device via a casino network. The operations are further to detect a user-input gesture, performed via one or more of the personal mobile device or the additional device, to transfer a gaming object between the personal mobile device and the additional device. The operations are further to, in response to detection of the user-input gesture, route communication of the transfer to a wagering game server connected to the casino network. The operations are further to transfer, via the wagering game server, the gaming object between the personal mobile device and the additional device and animate, via a display device of one or more of the personal mobile device or the additional device, transfer of the gaming object.

  • Patent number: 7824151
    Abstract: A turbine engine includes an engine housing enclosing: a centrifugal compressor having a rotor; at least one centrifugal compressor bore mounted to the rotor; at least one blade mounted to each of the at least one centrifugal bore and disposed proximate to at least one static wall; a turbine disposed in connection with the centrifugal compressor; a thrust bearing disposed in connection with the rotor; and means for moving said rotor with reference to the at least one static wall attached to the thrust bearing.

  • Patent number: 5022224
    Abstract: Control logic means to compensate for fan bypass duct pressure losses in a system that controls the acceleration mode for a twin spool gas turbine engine so as to allow the engine to accelerate rapidly with adequate stall margin by simulating a compressor stall limit. The stall limit is attained by generating a limiting ratio of burner pressure and another engine pressure as a function of corrected compressor rotor speed assuming that the stall margin is independent of compressor bleed, power extraction and degradation of engine efficiency. Compensation is by generating an engine pressure ratio signal as a function of corrected low pressure compressor rotor speed and using the difference between the signal and actual engine pressure ratio for modifying the simulated compressor stall limit.
