Abstract: A sealing cap having a body, wherein the body includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The sealing cap includes at least one protrusion which extends from the outer surface. The protrusion may include at least one aperture that is defined in a surface of the protrusion. The surface of the protrusion may also define a hollow volume which may further accommodate a filling material. After the sealing cap is installed to enclose at least one protruding tensile element within a void of a substrate, filling material is disposed into the void to encompass the outer surface of the sealing cap and contact the surfaces which define the protrusion. As the filling material is cured, an interlocking bond is formed with the protrusion portion of the sealing cap, thereby providing an effective barrier between a tensile element enclosure defined in the sealing cap and the surrounding environment.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a user interface, the user interface being communicably coupled to processing circuitry configured to operate a research browser plugin, the research browser plugin, via the processing circuitry, being configured to determine a user's access permissions to a document, the document being stored at network locations in document versions that are categorized by a predetermined hierarchy. Additionally, the research browser plugin is configured to generate, on the user interface, a one-click control and associate the one-click control with a resource locator (e.g., URL) of a selected document version, the selected version being the highest version in the hierarchy to which the user has access permissions, and retrieve the document associated with the resource locator in response to one-click activation of the one-click control.

Abstract: A computerized gaming system operates a plurality of gaming machine terminals coupled to a gaming server. A game session is initiated by a player for one gaming machine terminal. The game player thereafter identifies a second gaming machine terminal to be coupled to the same game session.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for securing ends of tendons in an anchor housing. Tendons having open or expanded sections are inserted through a cylindrical surface of the anchor housing. The tendons are secured in the anchor housing by grout which cooperates with the open or expanded sections and irregularities formed on the interior surface of the anchor housing.

Abstract: Methods of controlling migration to new version game code during an active game session are disclosed. In an embodiment, new version game code is received at a game server. In response to receipt of a game request from a gaming client at a gaming server, the current version code an active game session is employing is determined. The active gaming session is migrated to the new version code if the new version code is compatible. The migration to be performed is controlled by a reconnect if the new version code contains a new sub-component related to the client. Also, related gaming servers, gaming systems, methods of controlling game code updates in gaming systems, and game version distribution controllers are disclosed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of manufacturing an electrical component, involving bonding a thin metal foil to an insulating substrate and thereby forming a component blank, and laser machining at least the metal foil of said component blank to produce at least one trench for defining one or more foil tracks, said trench being at least equal in depth to the thickness of the foil so as to prevent current flow across the trench.
