  • Patent number: 11430295
    Abstract: A device, system, and method are provided for inspecting, activating or voiding scratch-off instant lottery tickets. A remote point-of-sale device has a detector system that detects tampering with the coating placed over concealed game play information on the tickets, and reads coded identification and authentication information on the tickets. The device automatically communicates the coded identification and tampering data to a central computer system of a lottery. The central computer system provides activation signals back to the point of sale on a ticket-by-ticket basis. The device, method and system provide automated generation and communication of ticket-by-ticket tampering, activation, and voiding data between the remote device and a central computer system of a lottery.

  • Publication number: 20160175608
    Abstract: A light emitting device and method of using the same is provided. The light emitting device has a plurality of moveable panels forming a cabinet which can be altered to increase or decrease the amount of UV the patient using the device receives on various areas of the patient's body. The panels are connected by a plurality of hinges located between the plurality of panels. Each panel may have a plurality of UV lamps/diodes which provide the UV light to the patient for the light emitting session. A control panel located allows the patient (or operator) to control the UV output. The light emitting device also allows for the flexible interconnection of power and signal cables so as to reduce stress and prolong the lifespan of the power and cable lines used in the light emitting device.
