Title: Networked gaming devices using bonus token
Inventor: ACRES JOHN F
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1999-04-27
Granted: 2005-07-12
Abstract: A plurality of gaming machines, such as slot machines or the like, are networked together in communication with a bonus server. The bonus server identifies each machine on the network and transmits a bonus token across the network to a machine control interface within a selected one of the machines. The bonus token is preferably a message packet containing the unique address of the gaming machine selected as well as various parameters which govern aspects of a bonus session initiated at the machine. Receipt of the bonus token signal at the machine causes additional lighting and sound effects beyond that enabled by the normal operation of the game. The bonus token also enables additional bonuses within the game that are awarded to a player of the selected machine. At the end of a bonus period, the bonus token is returned to the bonus server, processed to introduce new parameters, and then transmitted to a second one of the plurality of gaming machines. The bonus token is passed in this way from machine to machine to enhance the gaming experience of the lucky player of the selected gaming machine.

Abstract: A system for multi-carrier transmission is provided which can secure transmission capacity under a noise environment whose noise changes cyclically. A mapping section in an ATU-C (ADSL transceiver unit, central office end) memorizes: the bit allocation allocated to each carrier and transmission power allocation used for each carrier during a period in which the noise generated at the data transmission to a downstream direction is large; and the bit allocation allocated to each carrier and transmission power allocation used for each carrier during a period in which the noise generated at the data transmission to an upstream direction is large. A demapping section in an ATU-R (ADSL transceiver unit, remote terminal end) also memorizes the memorized bit allocation and transmission power allocation. At the time of the data transmission to the downstream direction, the bit allocation and transmission power allocation are allocated to each carrier of the high frequency band by making the bit rate during a period in which the noise generated at the data transmission to the downstream direction is small higher than the bit rate during a period in which the noise is large.  Consequently, the transmission capacity to the downstream direction can be secured.

The overcurrent limiting circuit (20) is provided with a bypass line (21), a resistor (22), and a diode (23). When a current flows in the heating direction, the diode (23) is turned on, whereby the current is shunted to the thermomodule (5) and bypass line (21) for flow, and accordingly, the overcurrent flowing into the thermomodule (5) can be effectively suppressed.
