  • Patent number: 9714852
    Abstract: A gas flow test apparatus and method include a flow monitor that is selectively connectable to a gas pipeline. An air motor driven regenerative blower is used to increase the flow of gas through the around a blockage in the pipeline to simulate an increased gas loading condition on the intake side of the apparatus. The gas drawn from the intake side is not vented to the atmosphere, but rather, is discharged to the exhaust side of the apparatus back into the pipeline. Pipeline pressure is measured on the intake side of the apparatus to ensure that gas supply is adequate for blocking off the pipeline for maintenance.

  • Publication number: 20150199877
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a nudge game are disclosed. An example method may include collecting an amount of funds using a cash station, wherein the cash station is operatively associated with a central server, the central server including a nudge game application and a central accounting system. The method may further include reporting the amount of funds to the central accounting system, depositing the amount of funds in a user account by the central accounting system, presenting the nudge game application using a nudge game station, allowing play of a nudge game of the nudge game application if the user account contains a requisite amount of funds, producing a resultant amount of funds upon completion of an iteration of the nudge game, and depositing the resultant amount of funds in the user account.

  • Publication number: 20140143079
    Abstract: A system and method of integrating a penny auction and a sweepstakes includes presenting a split screen view to a user, with the split screen view containing a first portion and a second portion, the first portion displaying a penny auction and the second portion displaying a sweepstakes game, and receiving a request from the user to purchase one or more bids for use on the penny auction in the first portion of the split screen view. Based on the received request, the user is awarded one or more entries for the sweepstakes in the second portion of the split screen display.

  • Publication number: 20040159475
    Abstract: A vehicular driven track apparatus is provided that may include a left track assembly and a right track assembly. Each track assembly may include a drive member. At least one roller member may be in mechanical communication with the left and right drive members. A left steering pad may be operatively connected to the left drive member to control movement thereof, and a right steering pad may be operatively connected to the right drive member to control movement thereof. A left brake or motor may be operatively connected to the left steering pad and disposed to control transfer of rotational movement from the at least one roller member to the left drive member. A right brake or motor may be operatively connected to the right steering pad and disposed to control transfer of rotational movement from the at least one roller member to the right drive member.
