Title: Continuously variable transmission with ratio synchronizing system, axial shifting of friction disc is responsive to amount of torque on output shaft
Inventor: RANEY RICHARD C
IPC: F16H15/50
Filed: 1999-02-03
Abstract: A  continuously variable transmission for varying  the speed  ratio  of an output shaft (47) relative to  an  input shaft  (26) driven by a vehicle engine or other input  power source.  The  power  transmission system includes  a  driven input  member  (21)  coupled in driving engagement  with  at least one rotor (7) to transfer torque to the rotor. A  disk member (1) is positioned in cooperative relationship with  a rotatable shaft and in a driving engagement with the  rotor, such  that  the disk member is driven to transfer torque  to the  rotatable shaft. An output member (49) is driven by the rotatable  shaft, and torque is transferred from  the  shaft to   the   output  member,  with  the  disk   member   being selectively  axially moveable relative to the rotor  and  to the  rotatable shaft. A gear system driven by the  at  least one  rotor  includes a planetary gear set and clutch  system in  parallel cooperation with the output torque of the  disk member  and cooperating rotatable shaft to extend the  speed range of the output member.

Title: Awarding jackpot in network of gaming machines using random number generator
Inventor: ALGIE ROBERT JOHN
IPC: A63F13/10
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: Electronic gaming machines (EGM) 40 are linked to a network through venue jackpot controllers (VJC) 300.  The EGMs are under the control of central jackpot controller (CJC) 200.  The EGMs report their accumulated turnover to the VJCs, which are polled at regular intervals by the CJC.  The total turnover of the all the EGMs is calculated, and a percentage of this is added to the jackpot amount.  The CJC then generates a random number and this is compared with a predefined jackpot hit value.  If the hit value is equal to the random number, then the jackpot is hit.  A further random number, the venue hit number,  is generated based on the total accumulated turnover.  The cycle turnover of each VJC is then successively added together until the venue hit number is equaled or exceeded.  The VJC that cause the hit number to be equaled or exceeded is the winning VJC.  Using a similar technique, the winning EGM for the VJC is determined, and the winning EGM is commanded to pay out the jackpot.
