  • Patent number: 12585392
    Abstract: A gaming device includes a display device, a processor circuit, a battery charging circuit that is conductively coupled to a cabinet input power source and that provides a charging current to a battery, and a power state output signal that is transmitted to the processor circuit and that includes a value that depends on the first switching power input. The device further includes a controller that receives, from the processor circuit, an interrupt signal that indicates that first switching power has failed and transmits a switch signal to the power switching circuit that is caused to switch from providing power from the cabinet input power source to providing power from the battery, a first memory that includes operating memory instructions, and a second memory that is configured to receive the operating memory instructions from the first memory responsive to the interrupt signal indicating that first switching power has failed.

  • Publication number: 20210081970
    Abstract: A surge engine is provided that predicts upcoming surges for a business such as a contact center or a retail environment. The surge engine may receive a schedule for the business that indicates one or more employees or agents that are scheduled to work for each period. The surge engine further receives a customer or workload forecast for each period that is based on historical customer and workload data for the business. The surge engine then predicts a surge for an upcoming period based on the workload forecast for that period and the schedule for that period. The surge engine may further consider real-time data about the busyness of the business when predicting surges. For each predicted surge, the surge engine automatically identifies employees or agents who may be available to work during the predicted surge, and offers them one or more incentives to work during the predicted surge.

  • Publication number: 20140089139
    Abstract: Information pertaining to the real property asset is received from a seller of the real property asset. From the information, a set of parameters are determined about the real property asset. The set of parameters are then used to select a set of agreements that are to control completion of the real property asset being sold using the online medium. The real property asset is then made available for sale using the selected set of contracts.
