Abstract: A video monitor for use in a gaming machine capable of presenting a service window providing user interactive content from a casino or other operator. The video monitor includes a chassis at least partially enclosing a display device and video mixing circuitry. The video mixing circuitry receives inputs from two video sources and instructions. The first video source is gaming machine video and the second video source is service window video. The video mixing circuitry produces a mixed video output that includes the two video sources in windows in accordance with instructions in a first format. The mixed video output is send to the display device in the first format and without conversion to another format.

Abstract: A system for coupling a plurality of telephones or local units to a remote land line telephone system includes a line interface associated with each of the telephones or local units. Each of the line interfaces is in turn coupled to an audio switch matrix. Outputs and inputs to and from the audio switch matrix are coupled to a 4 to 2 wire hybrid, a tone interface hybrid and a computer based control unit. The control unit includes a programmed microcomputer with interface circuits enabling it to communicate with and to control the line interfaces and the audio switch matrix. The computer also includes interface circuits enabling it to communicate with and control a radio transceiver. The radio transceiver is in radio frequency communication with a corresponding radio transceiver remotely located and coupled to the remote land line telephone system. Communications with the remote land line telephone system can be initiated by any of the local units.

Abstract: This specification discloses an adjustable connector assembly for securing and positioning a Bowden cable, such as that used in an automobile speed control linkage. The connector assembly includes an elongated, externally grooved sleeve on the Bowden cable and a two piece mounting assembly for clamping onto the grooved sleeve at a desired longitudinal position and coupling the Bowden cable to a support member.
