  • Publication number: 20240117937
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230316861
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related playing a progressive game. In some embodiments, at least one request may be received from a player to play a first game associated with a first prize pool. Play of the first game may be facilitated on at least one networked terminal based at least in part on receiving the at least one request from the player to play the first game. Play of a second game associated with a second prize pool on the at least one networked terminal may be initiated. The second game may be initiated in response to the second prize pool reaching a predetermined amount.

  • Publication number: 20210174646
    Abstract: 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.
