Abstract: A method of installing a fiber optic cable (10) upon an overhead power line structure, the overhead power line structure including an overhead power line support (60) and an overhead power line (90) carried by the overhead power line support (60), the method comprising the steps of passing an end of the fiber optic cable (10) through a bore formed in an insulator (120); positioning the insulator (120) at an installation location adjacent to the overhead power line support (60) with the fiber optic cable (10) located within the bore in the insulator (120); bonding the insulator (120) in place once positioned in the said installation location; connecting the insulator (120) to a first end of a conductive carrier (160); and connecting a second end of the conductive carrier (160) to the overhead power line (90) such that the fiber optic cable (10) is supported by the conductive carrier (160) and the insulator (120) as it passes from a first side of the overhead power line support (60) to a second side thereof.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a wagering environment are disclosed. An exemplary embodiment comprises a wagering terminal including a processor, a memory, a primary display, and a secondary display. The primary display is configured for displaying visual messages. These visual messages are displayed as part of a graphical user interface and include at least one wagering transaction message. The secondary display is configured for displaying additional visual messages associated with the visual messages of the primary display. These additional visual messages are displayed as part of an additional graphical user interface. The wagering terminal may further include a proximity detector configured for detecting the presence of a gaming patron, a user identification unit configured for sampling a unique physical attribute of a user, and an image capture unit configured for capturing at least one image in a vicinity of the wagering terminal.
