  • Patent number: 10460554
    Abstract: A gaming table having multiple player input positions on a playing surface of the gaming table can be constructed in a manner that provides individual player sensitive touchscreen areas and both simplifies the methods of construction use and repair of the table, but also reduces its initial cost significantly. The table may, for example, have: a continuous, flat, transparent gaming table surface layer; multiple, independent touchscreen plates under the transparent gaming table surface layer; each of the multiple, independent touchscreen plates having a communication link to a game server; and at least some or all of the multiple, independent touchscreen plates being physically separated from other independent plates.

  • Patent number: 8924214
    Abstract: A method for detecting and recognizing speech is provided that remotely detects body motions from a speaker during vocalization with one or more radar sensors. Specifically, the radar sensors include a transmit aperture that transmits one or more waveforms towards the speaker, and each of the waveforms has a distinct wavelength. A receiver aperture is configured to receive the scattered radio frequency energy from the speaker. Doppler signals correlated with the speaker vocalization are extracted with a receiver. Digital signal processors are configured to develop feature vectors utilizing the vocalization Doppler signals, and words associated with the feature vectors are recognized with a word classifier.
