  • Patent number: 11915541
    Abstract: A display, as for an electronic gaming machine, includes one or more rotatable mechanical reels including at least one variable displaying position at which the display may be varied. Content is displayed at the variable displaying position when the variable displaying position registers with the display. One or more reels can include a reel strip which includes at one location a pre-printed symbol and at another location a window. A video display can be arranged, configured and controlled by a processor to cast a display at the inside of the reel to impart light and video effects to pre-printed symbol locations or to cast video content through the reel strip window.

  • Patent number: 10902132
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and system are disclosed which may be used for assessing the trustworthiness of a particular proprietary microelectronics device design representation in a manner that will maintain its confidentiality and, among other things, thwart attempts at unauthorized access, misappropriation and reverse engineering of the confidential proprietary aspects contained in the design representation and/or its bit stream design implementation format. The disclosed method includes performing a process for assessing/verifying a particular microelectronics device design representation and then providing some indication of the trustworthiness of that representation. An example utility/tool which implements the disclosed method is described that is particularly useful for trust assessment and verification of FPGA designs.

  • Publication number: 20080046417
    Abstract: A method for storing, organizing and providing remote electronic access to documents. A cover sheet including a standard set of identification data characterizing each document is developed and stored. A digital version of each document is created and stored by scanning each contract. Each digital version includes a scanned image and a searchable text file, wherein the text is overlaid with the image. An index of bookmarks identifying sections of the digital version of each document is generated. Selected fields of information are captured from the digital version of the document. The documents are organized and cross-referenced in a database that includes the captured information and additional information related to each document. Designated parties are alerted of critical dates associated with each document. Remote electronic access to the documents is provided over the internet.
