Patent number: 7439166Abstract: In one implementation, a method for fabricating a tiered structure is provided, which includes forming a source and a drain on a substrate with a gate formed therebetween. Formation of the gate includes depositing a gate foot using a gate foot mask having an opening through it to define the gate foot over the substrate. After forming the gate foot, the gate foot mask is stripped. A gate head mask is formed over the gate foot with the gate head mask exposing a top portion of the gate foot. A gate head is formed on the top portion of the gate foot using the gate head mask. A lift-off process is performed, removing the gate head mask.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: HRL Laboratories, LLCInventors: Ivan Milosavljevic, Adele Schmitz, Michael Delaney, Michael Antcliffe

Patent number: 7416484Abstract: A method for simulating bonus awards in a finite award pool system is disclosed. The finite award pool comprises a plurality of primary awards and at least one simulated bonus award, where at least one of the primary awards indicate further entitlement to one of the simulated bonus awards. The simulated bonus awards may not be selected as a primary award per se, but constitute a portion of the actual primary award when combined with the primary award associated therewith. Additionally, the present arrangement allows simulation of more complex bonus award in finite pool systems by providing multiple or nested bonus level selections from either primary prizes or bonus prizes.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Bally Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Loren Travis Nelson, Michael Delaney, Robert Anthony Luciano, Jr.
