Abstract: An electronic gaming machine, system, and method are disclosed for conducting a keno game. The keno game may be conducted alone or in conjunction with a bingo game. The electronic gaming machine may receive a wager from a player, and conduct the bingo game and/or keno game in response to the wager. Based on the wager, a quantity of numbered keno balls may be designated as feature numbered keno balls. The electronic gaming machine may conduct the keno game using the feature numbered keno balls, and display a bonus if and/or when one or more feature numbered keno balls match one or more player selected keno numbers.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for use of a stowable seat topper are described. The stowable seat topper can include a seat portion, a back portion attached to the seat portion, arm portions attached to the back portion, and cushion portions attached to the back portion. The seat topper can include fasteners configured to secure the seat topper when in a stowed state. The seat portion, back portion, and arm portions can comprise molded foam and provide ergonomic support to a user. Furthermore, the seat topper can be configured to transition between a stowed state and a deployed state. In the stowed state, the seat portion, back portion, and arm portions can be rolled together and securing in placed by fasteners. In the deployed state, the seat portion, the back portion, the arm portions, and the cushion portions can be unrolled, aligned with a seat, and secured to the seat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved detection assays via the utilisation of a substrate with an analyte immobilised on its surface by means of a linking agent and a cross-linker. The present invention also relates to a method of producing a substrate for use in detection assays and a method of detecting an analyte using said substrate.

Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods for reducing off-target toxicity of T cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T cells) and/or providing enhanced control of CAR-T cell activation, and methods of treating a subject and/or modifying CAR-T cell activity in a subject with cancer.

Abstract: A method of reducing or inhibiting struvite formation that occurs during the process of utilizing dilution water to assist in the removal and management of dairy cow waste matter. The present invention includes embodiments that access dilutant sources from any combination of sources that include well water, collected rain water, municipal water or water recovered by reverse osmosis of a previous manure slurry. Employing the method of the present invention further includes estimating the volume of manure slurry and further measuring and recording the total ammonium nitrogen and pH thereof. A calculation is made to determine the amount of sulfuric acid needed in order to eliminate the total ammonium nitrogen in the manure slurry. Acid is introduced into the dilutant and is utilized to clean a barn floor of animal waste resulting in the creation of the manure slurry wherein the manure slurry has no presence of struvite.

Abstract: Compounds, including Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists, e.g., TLR7 and TLR7/8 agonists and their folic acid or pteroyl amino acid conjugates, and use thereof to treat a cancer or a fibrotic disease or disorder; and methods of making conjugates comprising targeting ligands of folic acid receptor and TLR7 and TLR7/8 agonists.

Abstract: Methods, systems, processes and others are provided for digital administration of gaming units including, for example, receiving a real-time request for gaming units; determining that the gaming unit administration application executing on the mobile device is located at the particular gaming location of the gaming establishment; determining that the real-time request for gaming units does not exceed the gaming unit limit of the account pre-approved by the gaming establishment; identifying a gamer distribution module associated with the particular gaming location for the current gaming activity associated with the request; and providing an authorization to distribute to the gamer associated with the request one or more requested gaming units.

Abstract: A way of dealing with challenges to the pepper processing industry and pepper growers is to mechanize pepper processing, including the de-stemming of whole peppers. The present example provides a method for mechanically de-stemming whole peppers. The method provides for the recognition of a pepper's shoulder and or interior regions and stem in order to generate a control signal to initiate a process to de-stem the pepper. In particular, several implementations of the method are provided that may include a mechanical system, a laser system, a machine vision system, a combination of a machine vision system and the laser system, and other equivalent implementations. Additionally disclosed, are methods of processing whole peppers utilizing automated de-stemming.

Abstract: Gaming tables that support wager-based gaming are provided with input receiving devices that are structured to intuitively message to players what kind of wagers are permitted at which betting positions and when and then to automatically detect timely placement of such wagers at corresponding betting positions. This allows for faster unfolding of gaming action in that player confusion is minimized with respect to which wagers are being called for, when and where. An integrated compact sensor system is provided occupying slightly more table area than that needed for supporting wagering tokens of different denominations. The sensor system includes a large array of full color pixels (e.g., RGB capable pixels) for messaging to the players and proximity detection functionality for detecting 3D player hand gestures.

Abstract: Methods and systems for allowing for incremental updates to remote localized copies of disk images (e.g., virtual machine images) are described. In some implementations, the disk images are block-based. The incremental updates may be done in a bi-directional manner across different platforms such that an update to any platform may be prepared for any of the other platforms. Preparation of updates between platforms may be accomplished through one or more of combining disk images, differencing disk images, snapshotting disk images, and/or versioning disk images.

Abstract: When the tension across the cord's 24 length reaches a predetermined threshold, an activation mechanism within the payload 16 and coupled to one of the cord's 24 ends is actuated in order to activate the payload 16. Activating the payload 16 may include deactivating a SAFU, activating a motor 32 disposed within the housing, or causing flight controls to extend from a housed position. Here, “within the payload 16” may mean part of the activation mechanism is disposed on the outer surface or housing of the payload 16.
