  • Publication number: 20240211984
    Abstract: The present specification discloses a dynamic sweepstakes engine for online computer gaming. The sweepstakes engine automatically varies parameters of a sweepstakes in direct correlation to the gaming behavior of users interacting with an online computer game. The sweepstakes engine is configured to automatically generate and spawn new sweepstakes in response to the conclusion of existing sweepstakes to maintain a constant Return To Player (RTP) value within the computer game. The sweepstakes engine is configured to automatically generate a set of sweepstakes rules based upon the geographic location of users as taken from their IP address. The sweepstakes engine utilizes a sweepstakes rules database to generate a set of rules that are pushed out to a sweepstakes rules website as well as gaming players.

  • Publication number: 20170240089
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a camper that is hauled by a vehicle. The camper is collapsible into a compact easy traveling position that is connected to a hitch receiver on the vehicle. The camper in the collapsed travel position fastened to a vehicle hitch does not have any wheels making contact with the roadway or ground. The camper in its collapsed position has an equal or higher ground clearance as the ground clearance of the vehicle it is attached to so as not to encumber off-road or roadway travel. The camper of the present invention is not mounted on a trailer and has handles for positioning and rolling the camper about.

  • Patent number: 7330898
    Abstract: One embodiment of an inventive networking environment includes clients called sending clients because they send network content through a network, and clients called receiving clients because they receive the network content from the sending clients through the network. Both sending clients and receiving clients are “clients” in that they rely on a management server to orchestrate the secure transfer of information from sending clients to receiving clients.

  • Patent number: 5999283
    Abstract: An optical logic device is provided by an interferometer having an output which defines a logic state 1 or 0 in dependence upon an interference condition existing in the interferometer. Each arm of the interferometer contains a semiconductor optical amplifier in which the effect of cross phase modulation is utilized to modulate the phase of light transmitted through the respective arms. Optical signals are counter propagated through one or both of the arms in order to provide the cross modulation and thereby enable the interference condition to be set to one or other of the logic states. Automatic level control is provided at inputs to the interferometer and between successive stages of logic device. The method has application to high frequency digital optical communication systems where all optical logic operations are required.
