  • Streaming zip
    Patent number: 10965732
    Abstract: A system is described to create and transmit a streamable ZIP file container. The streamable ZIP file container contains stream metadata, files, and a central directory. The stream metadata, files, and central directory can be saved in a contiguous stream without any intervening bytes. When the streamable ZIP file container is read by a client device that supports streamable ZIP file containers, the client device can exit the data stream without receiving the central directory. Interruptions during transmission of the ZIP file container can be resumed.

  • Kiosk for gaming
    Patent number: 10964162
    Abstract: A kiosk for gaming by patrons. An identification scanner may scan an identification document into digital form. A biological sensor such as a camera may obtain biological data describing a human patron. Input-output device(s) mounted in the kiosk may present information and accept registration/login information and gaming commands from a human patron. A currency acceptor and dispenser may accept money. The kiosk may ask a patron to insert an identification document into the identification scanner, and scan the document. The kiosk may obtain biological data describing the patron. The kiosk may verify the identity of the patron and acceptability of the patron for gaming based at least in part on the digital form of the patron's identification and the biological data. The kiosk may accept currency for deposit into a wagering account.

  • Conformable HMD with dynamically adjustable nested ribbon
    Patent number: 10921602
    Abstract: A head-mounted device (HMD) whose circumference is dynamically adjustable to conform to different head sizes and shapes is disclosed herein. The HMD includes a front-end and back-end housing. The front-end housing includes a first compute unit, and the back-end housing includes a second compute unit. The HMD also includes two adjustable flex fit arms that connect the front-end housing to the back-end housing. The HMD has an enclosed rounded boundary that is placeable around a user's head. The HMD also includes a nested flexible cable ribbon, which is nested within a cavity of one of the arms and which includes both a static bend and a dynamic bend. The bend radius for the dynamic bend is larger than the bend radius of the static bend. The dynamic bend enables the nested flexible cable ribbon to expand or contract when the circumference of the enclosed rounded boundary changes.
