  • Publication number: 20250391233
    Abstract: A networked system of chip validation and counting assemblies associated with each table through which the chips pass prior to being captured in the chip collection box. The counting assembly incorporates components to identify the denomination of each chip or coin inserted through the drop slot. The denomination of the received chips or coins is immediately transferred over a network to the casino accounting system which then tracks the total rake for each table in real time.

  • Patent number: 12443587
    Abstract: A storage application is disclosed herein that employs a method for managing read and write requests associated with a database distributed across multiple replicas in multiple data centers. The storage application may be implemented on one or more computing devices in the context of a data center, cloud environment, or the like. The method includes the storage application receiving a client request to perform an operation with respect to an object at an any-local-quorum consistency level. In response to client request, the storage application iteratively generates and submits coordinator requests to the multiple data centers at a local-quorum consistency level, until one of the multiple data centers successfully replies to one of the coordinator requests with a result. The storage application then replies to the client request based on the result provided by the one of the multiple data centers.

  • Publication number: 20250307036
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems and methods for providing managing object lock settings during cross-grid replication within distributed storage systems. In an example, ingestion of an object into a first grid of a distributed storage system may be detected. Responsive to detecting ingestion of the object, object lock settings for the object may be determined. Once the object lock settings are determined, the object lock settings may be validated against destination object lock settings. If the destination object lock settings are validated, cross-grid replication of the object may be initiated. During cross-grid replication, the object lock header may be provided in a replication payload transmitted from the first grid to a second grid. When the object is replicated, the destination object lock settings may be determined for the object, which may include the object lock settings as identified in the object lock header.

  • Patent number: 11428657
    Abstract: A sensor for measuring electrochemical impedance includes a primary circuit that includes a primary electrically conducting coil and a secondary circuit that includes a secondary electrically conducting coil. The primary electrically conducting coil is inductively coupled to the secondary circuit. During operation, the secondary electrically conductive couple has contact electrodes that contact a medium for which the impedance is to be measured. An alternating current source energizes the primary electrically conducting coil during impedance measurements.
