Abstract: A gaming system and method for operating a multi-round game having a progressive jackpot that is incremented by those of the credits that were earned either individually or collectively by the players without being cashed in before the end of the game. The system comprises a terminal for players to enter their game-related decisions away from the eyes of competing players by operating a keyboard having a random layout. A  game controller selects a game outcome and an outcome analyzer determines whether credits were earned individually or collectively. An earned credit controller updates credits earned individually, and a pool credit controller, credits earned collectively. A  player can cash in earned credits by retiring, but earned credits that are not cashed in before the end of the game are incremented to a jackpot by a progressive jackpot controller.

Title: Video scalable encoding method and decoding method and apparatuses therefor
Inventor: HAYASE KAZUYA
IPC: H04N7/32
Filed: 2008-10-20
Abstract: A video scalable encoding method calculates a weight coefficient which includes a proportional coefficient and an offset coefficient and indicates brightness variation between an encoding target image region and a reference image region in an upper layer, calculates a motion vector by applying the weight coefficient to an image signal of a reference image region as a search target and executing motion estimation, and generates a prediction signal by applying the weight coefficient to a decoded -signal of a reference image region indicated by the motion vector and executing motion compensation. Based on encoding information of an immediately-lower image region in an immediately-lower layer, which is present at spatially the same position as the encoding target image region, a data structure of the weight coefficient is determined. When the immediately-lower image region performed interframe prediction in the immediately-lower layer, the method identifies an immediately-lower layer reference image region that the immediately-lower image region used as a prediction reference for motion prediction, and calculates the weight coefficient by applying a weight coefficient that the immediately-lower image region used in weighted motion prediction to a DC component of an image region in the upper layer, which is present at spatially the same position as the immediately-lower layer reference image region, and assuming a result of the application as a DC component of the immediately-lower image region.
