Patent number: 10955566Abstract: This invention provides an ornate method and design to create a PSP panel assembly mosaic for radiography operations. There is no similar design or method as taught herein. Having an integrated attachment point allows a superior foundation to secure PSP panel assemblies together with unique brackets allowing for modular attachments, improving performance, and capabilities. All current options utilize external methods that are not dependable, bulky, and are not modular. The main benefits of this method are a more secure connection, better image quality, fewer backscatter deposits, lightweight, ease of use, and smaller boxes needed to carry components.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Inventor: Michael Elliott

Patent number: 10086279Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and specially configured machines are described for hosting an instance of a cross-realm zone that manages interaction among characters from different instances of a virtual world in a massively multiplayer online game. Different zones of the virtual world may support different numbers of realms or different combinations of realms, and some zones of the virtual world may remain as single-realm zones. When a character enters a zone, the character may be added to an instance of a cross-realm zone based on the virtual world for which the character is a member. A single cross-realm zone may handle all characters that enter the zone from a subset of realms, but not characters that enter the zone from other realms that are not in the subset of realms. Characters in a cross-realm zone might not have any affiliation or prior social connection or interaction with each other.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.Inventors: Alec Dun, Kurtis McCathern, Michael Elliott, J.

Patent number: 7909327Abstract: A system and method for playing a poker game. The system is implemented either through a software application or through a physical game environment. The system integrates a card elimination table which has a range of attack elements and range of removable elements. The attack elements are correlated to the removable elements so that when an attack card element is played, the removable elements correlated to that particular attack card element are eliminated from the game.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Inventor: Michael Elliott

Patent number: 7870415Abstract: Clock processors are provided to economically control system and data clocks in high-speed signal converters. The processors generally include at least one of a delay-locked loop, phase-locked loop or a duty cycle stabilizer which generates an error signal in its operation. In the example of a stabilizer, it is configured to respond to an input clock to initiate a first portion of each cycle of the system clock and to include a control loop to provide an error signal that controls a second portion of the cycle to thereby maintain a selected duty cycle. The processors also include a data clock aligner configured to share the error signal and provide a data clock that is delayed by a selected delay from a selected one of the input and system clocks. In addition to providing effective control that is independent of disturbing effects (e.g., temperature and clock rate), the shared use reduces processor costs.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2007Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Kishore Kummaraguntla, Michael Elliott

Patent number: 7740518Abstract: A jousting element for use in a game. The jousting element has a body which is arranged around a cylindrically aligned vertical axis. The body is configured to rotate about the vertical axis and to be carried above a playing surface. A traveling component connected to the body enables the body of the jousting element to be carried above the playing surface along multiple directions of travel. Attached to the body is a first playing component. The first playing component enables the jousting element to engage a second jousting element.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Inventor: Michael Elliott

Patent number: 7652611Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a pipeline ADC front-end sampling structure that provides a continuous time input signal to a flash comparator for sampling. By providing a continuous time input signal to the flash comparator, no delay is introduced from the need to transfer a DC charge representing the sampled input to the flash comparator. Matching sampling networks in the residual generator and the flash comparator are avoided due to the high bandwidth response requirements of the residual generator and the flash comparator when operating on high frequency input signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2008Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventors: Michael Elliott, Frank Murden
