Abstract: A method for conducting pari-mutuel wagering on an multi-action event, comprising the steps of providing at least one wagering computing system for ranking of participants in the event; establishing preliminary odds of winning a wager, based in part upon the rankings, for a plurality of individual actions of the multi-action event; accepting wagers for each of the plurality of individual actions; pooling respective wagers for each of the plurality of individual actions into a respective action-specific pool; calculating, using the wagering computing system, final odds of winning each of the plurality of individual actions using the action-specific pool; and paying winnings as determined by the final odds to one or more bettors who wagered a correct outcome for each of the plurality of individual actions.

Abstract: A method and system for defining multiple metrological criteria for the screening of defects of electrical connections, such as controlled collapse chip connections (C4s). Moreover, the method and system defines the multiple metrology criteria or the defect screening of C4s in which the C4 minimum spacing in critical regions is measured at different criteria in comparison with criteria which is employed for more widely spaced apart C4s located in isolated areas.
