Publication number: 20240153347Abstract: A game terminal allows a player to participate in the linked transaction including a linked deal withing an initial deal via their client account interacting with a management system. The management system manages the execution of the linked transaction including execution of the initial deal, execution of the linked deal, and movement and monitoring of capital during execution of the linked transaction. Initial deal tickets are electronically allocated to player accounts by the management system. The linked deal may be a secondary deal that is lightly linked to the initial deal. In particular, the initial deal may include an access ticket to the linked deal, and the access ticket allows the management system to grant the player a play in the linked deal. Both the initial deal and the linked deal can have prizes, and the management system may resolve those prizes, as necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Mark Provan Newton, John Lance Wohlfarth, Travis Alan Meyer, Nathan Andrew Freels

Publication number: 20240081427Abstract: A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Nathan Andrew Terry, Noah Mark Minskoff

Publication number: 20240082744Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of amusement rides, and particularly the field of flying theatres. The present invention improves on previous flying theaters in that it provides guests greater motion, and additional types of motion accomplished in unique ways, while being more cost effective than existing flying theaters. The performance parameters of the theater give it the unique ability to not only smoothly replicate the motion of a light flying experience but also simulate motions that are more aggressive than in existing flying theater rides. Guests experience turbulence and more exciting experiences that would otherwise be sacrificed due to limitations in the range of motion or quality of experience of existing rides that would take the rider out of the experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Alex Yamich, Charles W. Fawcett, III, Nathan Andrew Jones, Darren Ulmer
