Abstract: A frame for mounting a plurality of solar tracking units is provided. The frame comprises a plurality of leg assemblies interconnected by trusses to provide a stable structure that is ballasted by the frame's own weight, rather than relying on external ballast such as concrete blocks. Each leg assembly is provided with a shaft with a mounting end for mounting a solar tracking unit. Each solar tracking unit includes an armature assembly and at least one motor for controlling the orientation and position of a solar panel mounted thereon. Solar tracking assemblies, each comprising the frame and plurality of solar tracking units, can be assembled in an array using connectors spacing the assemblies, thus providing enhanced stability. Each of the assemblies can be provided with a local control unit for controlling each individual solar tracking unit, and a global control unit may be used to control the local control units.

Abstract: A bill acceptor assembly for accepting bills, vouchers, scrip, tickets and/or currency at a gaming table. The bill acceptor assembly includes a bulk note feeder capable of accepting a stack of individual notes and coupled to a validator assembly. The bulk note feeder includes a mouth opening to receive a stack of notes and an escrow reservoir for storing the stack of notes until they are fed into the validator assembly.

Abstract: A bill acceptor assembly for accepting bills, vouchers, scrip, tickets and/or currency at a gaming table. The bill acceptor assembly includes a note feeder capable of accepting a stack of individual notes from the top side of a table and providing the stack of notes to a validator assembly located underneath the table. The note feeder has a cavity configured to receive at least one note, an opening within the cavity to allow the at least one note to pass through the opening, and an escrow chamber to temporarily store the stack of notes passed through the opening. A plunger may be used to push the at least one note within the cavity through the opening and into the escrow chamber. A transportation system is provided to pass note within the escrow chamber to a validator assembly.

Abstract: A bill acceptor assembly for accepting bills, vouchers, scrip, tickets and/or currency at a gaming table. The bill acceptor assembly includes a note feeder having an intake opening adapted to receive one or more notes. The note feeder may be mounted to a table to allow a user to insert notes into the intake opening. The notes are passed to a validator located underneath the table. The validator is configured to validate the notes and separate valid notes from invalid notes. The validator passes the valid notes to a cash box located underneath the table and passes the invalid notes to a rejection slot formed on the note feeder.

Abstract: A casino table game transaction management system for a plurality of gaming tables each having a dealer station and at least one player station, the system including bill acceptor assemblies adapted for utilization at the gaming tables, the bill acceptor assemblies each including a note transportation system, a note validator configured to identify characteristics of each note being passed therethrough by the transportation system, and a cash box adapted to receive and to store notes. The system also includes a casino computer configured to monitor transactions within the casino via a network interconnecting each of the bill acceptor assemblies at the gaming tables to the casino computer.
