Patent number: 9292892Abstract: A computer gaming system and method is claimed. The computer gaming system includes a plurality of client devices and at least two displays are associated with each client device. Input commands are received at each client device. Server based gaming programs are hosted on the server, which receive the input commands from each client device and generate at least one output image that is communicated to each client device. A first server based gaming program receives at least one first input command and generates a first plurality of output images that are communicated to a first client device; the first images are presented on the first display corresponding to the first client device. The second server based gaming program receives at least one second input command and generates a second plurality of output images that are communicated to the first client device; the second images are presented on the second display corresponding to the first client device.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Inventors: Michael S. Wiltshire, James J. Lisenbee, Jayant S. Karmarkar, Timothy A. Wiltshire

Publication number: 20110065502Abstract: A computer gaming system and method of operation thereof are provided that both drastically reduce the cost of gaming stations and allow contemporaneous access to multiple game programs from a single gaming station. The computer gaming system of the present invention allows for transparent modifications and upgrades to the gaming programs by executing gaming programs on a server/host computer connected to a plurality of client/terminal computers via communication pathways. Each client/terminal computer comprises a client/terminal program that allows input and output streams of the gaming program executed on the server/host computer to be separated and redirected to the client/terminal computers. Since the gaming programs are executed entirely on the server/host computer, with only wagering input and display output operations being executed on the client/terminal computers, the cost of the hardware and software required for each client/terminal computer is greatly reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Inventors: MICHAEL S.

Patent number: 6396160Abstract: Various fill strategies in the optical kerf are provided. A semiconductor wafer is divided into chip areas by strips of optical kerf regions. The optical kerf regions contain alignment marks used in the lithography processes. Partial fill patterns are provided in the optical kerf regions so that the area factor of the kerf region is similar to that of the chip areas. This results in full planarization by chemical mechanical polishing becoming feasible. Additionally, the fill is patterned so the alignment marks may be read accurately.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1999Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steffen Schulze, Kathryn H. Varian, Timothy Wiltshire
