Publication number: 20250104526Abstract: A gaming system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions and a persistence counter. The instructions cause the processor to cause display of an initial game outcome by displaying symbols from a plurality of reels in a plurality of columns, the plurality of reels including a plurality of symbol types and increment the persistence counter based on the initial game outcome. The instructions further cause the processor to determine, based on a value of the persistence counter, at least one symbol type of the plurality of symbol types, change the at least one symbol type in the initial game outcome to a second symbol type, and determine, based on changing the at least one symbol type, an upgraded game outcome.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Kelly Lockheed, Jennifer Mizzi, Rogelio Decasa, JR., Nathan Warms, Zachary Smith, Erick Ching, Scott Hopkins, Hanna Sanborn, Carlyn Albright, Zachary Cohen

Publication number: 20250105523Abstract: Systems, structures, circuits, and methods provide multi-axis (angular-offset) helical antennas allowing radio location and/or provision of augmented reality imagery and data. Three or more helical antennas have respective axes, which are separated by angles or angular displacements. Such antenna apparatus may be used to coordinate sensors so as to create signs, images, convey data and/or voice, and pinpoint RF targets such as smartphones or other wireless devices with accuracy in venue environments such as stadiums, arenas, theaters, etc.; large outdoor settings such as areas of parks, municipal gathering areas, etc.; and/or other locations/locals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Cohen, Philip Salkind

Patent number: 12146769Abstract: Wireless sensor devices are described which harvest energy and provide an antenna or antennas for wireless communication on a relatively small form factor, preferably one that is co-extensive with a largest component of the device, e.g., an antenna layer or sensor layer. The devices are able to sense and/or control certain specific parameters of a system; store energy, e.g., in a supercapacitor system or battery system; transmit that as information/signals via a wireless link, e.g., RF or optical link; receive information from other devices and relay that information. Such devices accordingly may be self-powered and wireless devices, and not dependent on a separate device or form factor to provide a power source. Such devices can be entirely autonomous or substantially so, can be mobile or fixed, and may require little servicing over a period of time. The devices can be used as sensor nodes in a wireless mesh network.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Cohen, Alexander Shelman-Cohen

Patent number: 11808847Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to and provides radar-reflecting systems and apparatus that employ metasurfaces to produce enhanced radar cross sections that are greater than those produced by the geometry of the surfaces alone. Another aspect of the present disclosure is directed to and provides heat-ducting systems and apparatus that include metasurfaces. A further aspect of the present disclosure is directed to and provides cards with metasurfaces. Exemplary embodiments utilize fractal plasmonic surfaces for a metasurface.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Cohen, Philip Salkind

Patent number: 11776729Abstract: This invention entails the use of fractal shapes as cores for electromagnets, and a concurrent shape of a fractal for the windings which surround it. The novelty of this invention lies not only with the shaping, but the advantage of such shaping, which includes producing a smaller form factor electromagnet for the same desired magnetic field strength, when compared to a conventional electromagnet. It will be appreciated that a range of devices including electromagnets, based on such fractal shaping, are additionally novel and include but are not limited to solenoid switches, relays, and other devices in which the fractal electromagnets are used to make a change in state of some device.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Cohen, Ralph Isaac Hirsch
