Abstract: A gaming system having gaming machines or devices configurable in a ‘z’-shaped geometric arrangement are provided. The gaming system can include a plurality of gaming machines having a respective main display screen and a plurality of secondary display screens. Each of the plurality of gaming machines can be spaced apart from one another in a first direction with the respective main display of each of the plurality of gaming machines being parallel to each other. Each of the plurality of secondary screens can be coupled between the respective main display screen of respective ones of the plurality of gaming machines to fill a gap therebetween and are positioned at an angle with respect to the respective main display screen of the respective ones of the plurality of gaming machines.

Abstract: According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a processor configured to issue a first request for a piece of data from a cache memory and a second request for the piece of data from a system memory. The apparatus may include the cache memory configured to temporarily store a subset of data. The apparatus may include a memory interconnect. The a memory interconnect may be configured to receive the second request for the piece of data from the system memory. The a memory interconnect may be configured to determine if the piece of memory is stored in the cache memory. The a memory interconnect may be configured to, if the piece of memory is determined to be stored in the cache memory, cancel the second request for the piece of data from the system memory.

Abstract: An inductor conducts a first current, which is variable. A first transistor is coupled through the inductor to an output node. The first transistor alternately switches on and off in response to a voltage signal, so that the first current is: enhanced while the first transistor is switched on in response to the voltage signal; and limited while the first transistor is switched off in response to the voltage signal. A second transistor is coupled to the first transistor. The second transistor conducts a second current, which is variable. On/off switching of the second transistor is independent of the voltage signal. Control circuitry senses the second current and adjusts the voltage signal to alternately switch the first transistor on and off in response to: the sensing of the second current; and a voltage of the output node.
