  • Publication number: 20200058190
    Abstract: Methods for secure transactions between gaming machines and portable devices are described. A logic device, separate from a master gaming controller on the gaming machine and placed in the gaming machine, may be operable to authenticate a portable device, such as a smart card, and authorize transactions involving transfers of indicia of credit between the portable device and the gaming machine. The logic device may be operable to send authentication information relating to the portable device to a remote host where a value amount of transactions involving the portable device authorized by the logic device may be higher when the logic device and the remote host authenticate the portable device as opposed to when the portable device is only authenticated by the logic device.

  • Publication number: 20200058191
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for provisionally crediting a financial account of a gaming environment based on player funds received by gaming devices in the form of wagers. The financial account can be maintained at a financial institution. The player funds can be currency, electronic funds, or combinations therefor. Once the currency is physically transferred to the financial institution, the provisional credit can be converted to a full credit. Similarly, for wagers using electronic funds, once the settled funds are received by the financial institution, the provisional credit can be converted to a full credit. Using provisional credits, benefits from the funds can be enjoyed by the gaming operator prior to the physical currency and/or settled funds being received and processed by the financial institution.

    Abstract: A pulsed image capturing system includes a pulse generation circuit, a dynamic vision sensor (DVS), and a DVS scanning and readout circuit. A global reset signal is transmitted to pixels of the DVS to set a reference illumination level for the pixels, and then a pulsed light pattern is generated. A global hold signal is transmitted to the pixels, after the pulsed light pattern is generated, to hold an illumination change event indicating a change with respect to the reference illumination level. A DVS scanning and readout operation is performed on event signals received from the pixels, after the global hold signal is transmitted to the pixels. A reflection of the pulsed light pattern is extracted from the DVS output after cleaning artifacts from the DVS output without additional image processing.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a route information transmission method. The method includes: receiving route description information sent by a ground station, where the route description information includes zone information, and the zone information includes location information of a flight zone; determining a first route task corresponding to the flight zone according to the zone information; and executing the first route task in the flight zone. Zone information required for flight is sent to a UAV, so that the UAV can generate a flight route according to the zone information. Therefore, a ground station no longer needs to send complete route information to the UAV. The UAV generates the flight route automatically and then obtains a route task. As such, the data amount of information transmitted between the ground station and the UAV can be reduced, thereby improving transmission efficiency of the information and improving route execution efficiency of the UAV.

    Abstract: A word selection module of an assessment engine executed by a first computing device selects a word from a word database and modifies an administrator user interface displayed by the first computing device to include a display of the selected word and an interface element for scoring the selected word. The assessment engine modifies a subject user interface displayed by a second computing device to an assessment subject, to display the selected word. A feedback analysis module of the assessment engine receives an input to the administrator user interface and determines that the input indicates the assessment subject incorrectly read the selected word. A diagnoses module diagnoses a level of mastery of a phonics skill of the assessment subject. The assessment engine modifies the administrator user interface to include an identification of an activity for improving the diagnosed level of mastery.

  • Publication number: 20200058231
    Abstract: iWay is an innovative, novel approach and method that uses the metaphor of the automobile as teaching tools to instruct students about the basics of computers, computer operations, navigations and online resources. All types of teaching media will be created, but the computer software edition will enable the user to open different computer programs by command, creating “a window for Windows” (or “a GUI for the GUI”). While a new educational process is the main thrust of the program, having a central command center which reduces keystrokes and simplifies computer navigation is part of this improved process of instruction. It is possible that browsers, applications and programs (such as the Chrome browser, Skype, iTunes and others) can appear within the Uncle Tucker program as a plug in while they are activated.

    Abstract: A math aid that strengthens: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills, and math fact memory. It's an aid where math facts are displayed on two stuffed rolls using horizontal strips, color differences, various digit sizes and a roll shape all used to increase ease and focus on seeing selected facts for a math problem. There is one row of math facts for counting and subtracting, and several rows of math facts pertaining to multiplication and division. In making this aid, facts are transferred to two semi-flexible substrates, then the substrates are configured into sleeves, lined with semi-flexible films stuffed with soft material making two roll shapes, and then the ends are sealed. In using the aid, one selects the facts needed by rotating the roll to the strip of facts needed, then flattening the roll enough to hold its position to see those needed facts.

    Abstract: The outer skin of the rescue training dummy is configured by interknitting the strip members capable of being connected and released while changing the sizes of rings of the same. Thickness and length of the body part, the arms, and the legs of the dummy can be freely reproduced. With the single rescue training dummy, the rescue training dummy can be configured to have one of different figures, such as a figure of an adult, or a figure of a child. Within the internal space of the rescue training dummy, containers or the like as weight are arranged. Enclosing substances with one of different specific gravity within the containers or the like or changing the number and/or capacity of the containers or the like enables to adjust weight of the dummy Since a device generating sound or the like may be arranged within the dummy, listening information from disaster victims can be performed in the middle of training. Thus, it is possible to contribute toward carrying out training rich in various scenarios.
