Patent number: 11983985Abstract: An augmented reality method for providing a wagering game having real-world and virtual elements includes generating a live video signal of a scene associated with a field of view of a user. At least one first gaming element in the scene corresponds to a first outcome of the wagering game. The method further includes determining, based on the live video signal, at least one second gaming element in real time. The method further includes displaying the at least one second gaming element to the user in association with the at least one first gaming element as part of the scene so that the second gaming element is displayed as part of the wagering game, wherein the at least one first gaming element and the at least one second gaming element corresponds to a second outcome of the wagering game.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: IGTInventors: Michael Russ, Lukas Angermayer, Gerhard Pichler, Elisabeth Kiss, Caprice Mitterhoefer, Martin Lasser, Julia-Ines Lerchbaumer

Patent number: 10737306Abstract: For a rolled metal strip, in particular a steel strip; a drive roller unit deflects the metal strip from a first transportation direction to a second transportation direction, and the strip is then fed to a coiler. The metal strip is coiled in the coiler to form a coil having a coil diameter. Plastic deformation of an end portion of the metal strip is caused such that the end portion in its uninfluenced state is curved at a curvature radius. The plastic deformation of the end portion (8) is at least partially caused by an asymmetric impingement with a cooling medium (21) on the sides of the end portion (8). The impingement of the end portion (8) with the cooling medium (21) is performed across a length of the end portion (8) that is longer than half the outermost coiling of the coil (6) but smaller than the outermost coiling of the coil (6).Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: PRIMETALS TECHNOLOGIES AUSTRIA GMBHInventors: Josef Maierl, Lukas Pichler, Alois Seilinger
