Title: Security system for bingo-type games
Inventor: LIND JEFFERSON C
IPC: A63F3/08
Filed: 2002-05-30
Granted: 2004-09-09
Abstract: At least one physical designation (16) associated with an object (12) available in a game draw is mapped to a preferably randomly generated virtual designation (32). The resulting map relating the physical designation (16) to a virtual designation (32) is not available to the game operator. When the physical designation (16) is drawn and entered into the game system (10), the system converts the entered physical designation (16) to the mapped or related virtual designation (32), and this virtual designation is the designation actually used in the play of the game. Thus, the operator is unable to cooperate with a player to cheat in the game by simply calling the physical designation (16) needed by the player to win.

Title: Signal processing with channel eigenmode decomposition and channel inversion for MIMO systems
Inventor: WALTON JAY R
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2003-06-20
Granted: 2009-02-26
Abstract: Techniques for processing a data transmission at a transmitter and receiver, which use channel eigen-decomposition, channel inversion, and (optionally) 'water-pouring'. At the transmitter, (1) channel eigen-decomposition is performed to determine eigenmodes of a MIMO channel and to derive a first set of steering vectors, (2) channel inversion is performed to derive weights ( e . g ., one set for each eigenmode) used to minimize ISI distortion, and (3) water-pouring may be performed to derive scaling values indicative of the transmit powers allocated to the eigenmodes. The first set of steering vectors, weights, and scaling values are used to derive a pulse-shaping matrix, which is used to precondition modulation symbols prior to transmission. At the receiver, channel eigen-decomposition is performed to derive a second set of steering vectors, which are used to derive a pulse-shaping matrix used to condition received symbols such that orthogonal symbol streams are recovered.

Title: Accumulator for adaptive sigma-delta modulation
Inventor: ZIERHOFER CLEMENS M
IPC: H03M3/02
Filed: 2003-09-26
Granted: 2008-12-18
Abstract: A system and method for adaptive sigma-delta modulation. The system includes a input stage that produces a difference signal representing the difference between an analog input signal x(n) and a analog feedback signal z(n), the amplitude of the analog input signal x(n) within a first range [-a,+a]. An accumulator stage produces an accumulated signal that is a function of an accumulation of the difference signal, the accumulator stage transforming the accumulation of the difference signal so as to increase average magnitude while ensuring instantaneous magnitude does not exceed a predetermined value. A quantization stage produces a quantized digital signal y 0 (n) representing the accumulated signal. Based on the quantized digital signal y 0 (n), a adaptation stage produces a digital output signal z 0 (n), which is converted to the analog feedback signal z(n) by a digital-to-analog converter stage.
