  • Publication number: 20250104524
    Abstract: An electronic gaming device including a processor and a memory is described. The processor is configured to select a plurality of symbols including a plurality of numerical values and determine that at least one symbol includes at least one numerical value within a predefined range. The processor is also configured to cause display of the at least one symbol in a hidden state and cause display of the plurality of symbols other than the at least one symbol. The processor is also configured to cause display of the at least one symbol to transition between the hidden state and a revealed state wherein when the at least one symbol is displayed in the revealed state the at least one numerical value is displayed and provide an output amount associated with a sum of the plurality of numerical values.

  • Publication number: 20100104726
    Abstract: A shelf-stable savory crispy bubbled cheese product and a process for making it is provided wherein cheese pieces containing 50%-60% moisture are tempered followed by vacuum drying in the presence of a heat source followed by freeze drying in the presence of a heat source. The resulting cheese pieces retain or intensify the original cheese color, display no visible oils or chalky powder on the surface, and do not stick tightly or clump together. They are easy to break but not brittle and have a taste comparable to fresh cheese.

  • Patent number: 6910071
    Abstract: A surveillance monitoring and automated reporting method is used for detecting observable changes in data sources over a network, such as the internet, for accessing changing data, such as world wide web content data, and for providing scheduled change detection notifications and results through user defined search criteria for automated monitored search criteria matches on a recurring basis by user defined scheduling. The method extracts content data from the data sources and updates a master database, then detects changes in the content data within the search criteria. Upon detection, the user is notified using graphical interfaces, electronic mail messages, pager messages, or personal data assistant messages.
