Publication number: 20240117937Abstract: The disclosure relates to a tank for storing volatile gas under pressure and a structure comprising the tank. The tank has a wall formed of a filament wound carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). The CFRP may have a graphene nanomaterial filler dispersed in the polymer adhesive matrix. The structure includes a frame for bearing static and dynamic forces from internal and external loads, the frame including the tank, the tank being an active load bearing structural element configured as a stressed member in the frame such that, in the structure in use, the tank bears static and dynamic forces from internal and external loads. One or more of: the filament winding pattern of the carbon fibre, the wall thickness, the wall shape, or the material properties of the polymer matrix including the dispersed graphene; is configured such that the tank has mechanical properties required by the design of the structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: VIRITECH LTDInventors: Matthew Robert FAULKS, Romilly Francesca CLOSE, Nicholas Leo WEATHERBY, Laurence TURNER

Publication number: 20210174646Abstract: A secondary game system, in various embodiments, comprises a system of networked game terminals where a player playing a game on a game terminal can earn eligibility to win a prize from a secondary game that plays simultaneously in the background. The secondary game may be triggered based on play on the plurality of networked terminals. This allows the player to play a first game that earns them eligibility to win another game that is played in the background. The player sends a game initiation request for a game (e.g., lottery slot) to be played on the game terminal. If a certain criterion is satisfied, the player becomes eligible to win a prize from the secondary game if the secondary game is triggered while the player is eligible to win.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2021Publication date: June 10, 2021Applicant: Epic Tech, LLCInventors: Bob Mosley, Troy Jungmann, Robert Weatherby

Publication number: 20210027364Abstract: An electronic auction method and system that determines a first number of bids that must be received, the receipt of which will end a reserve period of a first electronic auction and determines at least one additional number of bids that must be received, the receipt of which will end at least one additional electronic auction. A display simultaneously displays the first electronic auction and the at least one additional electronic auction, wherein the end point of the at least one additional electronic auction is displayed within the display of the first electronic auction. Each additional electronic auction ends upon receipt of the predetermined number of bids for that auction and ends the first electronic auction after all additional electronic auctions displayed within the first electronic auction have ended.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Applicant: Epic Tech, LLCInventors: Troy Jungmann, Erik Nordin, Robert Weatherby, Shay Randall, Timothy O.
