  • Publication number: 20080202874
    Abstract: A vehicle for terrain travel includes a chassis, an operator platform including space for footing, a first isolation mechanism and a second isolation mechanism operably connected between the chassis and the operator platform. The isolation mechanisms are to be placed either below, above or level with the operator platform and at substantially opposite edges of the operator platform. Each isolation mechanism at least partially absorbs motion from the chassis. The isolation mechanisms may be made up of telescopic members, a biasing member or a dampening device. One of the isolation mechanisms may provide pivotal coupling of the operator platform to the chassis and at least partially absorb motion from the chassis.

  • Publication number: 20060242277
    Abstract: An automated method for facilitating management of a data processing environment is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method may include facilitating creation of a first memorialization, in digital form, of first one or more changes made to a first data processing device of the data processing environment. In various embodiments, the method may further include facilitating creation of a second and a third memorialization, both in digital form, of second and third one or more changes made to a second and a third data processing device of the data processing environment, respectively. In various embodiments, the method may still further include facilitating automated approval of the second and third changes made to the second and third data processing devices, using the first, second and third memorializations. Other embodiments of the present invention may include, but are not limited to, apparatus adapted to facilitate practice of the above-described method.

  • Publication number: 20050090311
    Abstract: A gaming machine artwork assembly includes a carrier on which images to be illuminated are carried. An electroluminescent illuminating arrangement is mounted on an operatively rear surface of the carrier. The electroluminescent illuminating arrangement comprises a plurality of electroluminescent elements, at least one element being associated with each image to be illuminated. A driver circuit is connected to the illuminating arrangement for driving the electroluminescent illuminating arrangement to illuminate selected electroluminescent elements of the arrangement on command from a controller of the gaming machine. The driver circuit includes individual drivers for each electroluminescent element for independently driving the electroluminescent elements and variably controlling the intensity of the illumination of the images with which said electroluminescent elements are associated.

  • Publication number: 20030126053
    Abstract: A system and method for analyzing a financial services pricing process. The method includes the steps of receiving data in at least one input file of a pricing process summary tool from at least one data source and generating a waterfall based on the data received. The step of generating the waterfall includes measuring predetermined pricing metrics using the received data, and graphing the predetermined pricing metrics. The waterfall identifies the present value of each of the predetermined pricing metrics in relation to others of the predetermined pricing metrics.
