Publication number: 20240105008Abstract: A method and system facilitate self-service processing of a jackpot win by a player of a gaming machine. A jackpot processing system receives notification of a jackpot win, generates jackpot processing information including an amount to be awarded to the player, such as a jackpot amount less offsets thereto, and generates and sends a message to the player's mobile communication device. The message allows the player to confirm the jackpot processing information and provide necessary confirmations, such as a signature. The jackpot processing system generates a jackpot win record, may generate one or more associated win forms, and facilitates payment of the award amount to the player.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Adam Fong, Justin Nelson, Ryan May

Publication number: 20230230451Abstract: Relative to a gaming system, a jackpot processing server is configured to generate at least one gaming win reporting form, such as a W2G, in response to a gaming win by the player. The jackpot processing server is configured to store that form and provide access to the form. A code may be provided to the player which is used to generate a communication link to a webserver for accessing the form. Alternatively, the form may be emailed to the player, such as in response to a request to an email server. The email server may be a public email server that communicates to the jackpot processing server via a secure communication module.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Adam Fong, Justin Nelson, Ryan May

Patent number: 11665276Abstract: Methods and architectures for improving operation of 9-1-1 and other emergency services networks. Enriched data (e.g., text messages, videos, phase II location information, etc.) may be transmitted to a PSAP via a secondary communication channel (i.e., data), wherein the primary communication channel is a voice telephony trunk. Disclosed embodiments may increase the speed with which accurate location information is made available to improve call routing accuracy and decrease dispatch time. Some embodiments may also enable continued operation of legacy emergency services systems during and after transition to next generation systems.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Onvoy Spectrum, LLCInventors: Justin Nelson, Michael Remacle

Patent number: 11522500Abstract: An embodiment of a dual-path amplifier includes a power splitter connected to first and second power amplifiers respectively connected to first and second transmission lines connected to a power combiner having a phase-offset deficit at the second harmonic frequency 2f0, where the first and second transmission lines are designed to provide a complementary phase offset at 2f0 substantially equal to the phase-offset deficit such that the two amplified signals will be combined at the power converter with a total phase offset at 2f0 of about 180 degrees in order to reduce harmonic distortion in the amplified output signal, without substantially diminishing the output power at the fundamental frequency f0. In certain PCB-based implementations, the transmission lines include metal traces and lumped elements providing different impedance transformations that achieve the complementary phase offset, where the metal traces may have significantly different physical and electrical characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: Arturo Roiz, Justin Nelson Annes, Terry L.

Patent number: 11017880Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods including selecting a first plurality of single gene mutants from a pool of possible single gene mutants of an organism. The first plurality of single gene mutants is less than a number of possible single mutants. A computer processor is used to iteratively select a second plurality of single gene mutants by selecting single gene mutants from the pool of possible single gene mutants that increases a sum of products of similarities between the first plurality of single gene mutants and corresponding functional relationships. The second plurality of single gene mutants is larger in number than the first plurality of single gene mutants, and wherein the second plurality of single gene mutants is less than the number of possible single gene mutants of the organism. A set of genes is outputted comprising the first and second pluralities of single gene mutants.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Regents of the University of MinnesotaInventors: Raamesh Deshpande, Justin Nelson, Chad L.
