Abstract: A disclosed gaming machine has a plurality of "gaming peripherals," each
communicating with a master gaming controller via a standard peripheral interface
such as the USB (Universal Serial Bus). Further, the gaming peripherals employ a
standard peripheral controller and one or more specialized "peripheral devices" (e.g.,
the actual lights, bill validators, ticket printers, etc. that perform the specific functions
of the gaming peripherals). Much of the hardware associated with the peripheral
controller is identical from one gaming peripheral to the next. Only a portion of the
peripheral controller hardware is specific to the different types of gaming peripherals.

use with a television receiver and monitor (18) and responsive to commands from a remote
device for printing user desired information. The printer (10) has a box-like rectangular shaped
housing (19) conforming in size to that of conventional audio video components such as cable
boxes, DVD players, amplifiers, video tapes and the like to facilitate the stacking of the printer
(10) with such other components. A base member (20) having defines an interior cavity for

Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for
monitoring the spooling area of a rotatable reel (22) for
winding or unwinding an elongated material (24), for example,
a cable. The monitoring system has a detector (26) for
sensing the presence and position of a cable surface or
object or operator positioned between the detector and the
reel. The detector can control rotation of the reel
directly, or send a position signal to a computer where the
position signal indicates the detected presence and/or
position. The computer can have a memory and/or a processor
for respectively storing and analyzing the position signal.
The computer is operative to compare the position signal to
previously received position signals to determine a
condition, for example, the amount of cable on the reel, the
presence of any object, and/or the existence of a safety-threatening
condition. The computer can generate an output
signal for use in, for example, controlling the reel speed
and/or torque, or the application of brakes.

Abstract: A wavelength demultiplexer (102) having a substantially flat output response
within its passband is disclosed. The demultiplexer comprises a first wavelength
demultiplexer (60) optically coupled to a second wavelength demultiplexer (96).
The first wavelength demultiplexer has a free spectral range approximately equal to channel
spacing of the second wavelength demultiplexer thereby providing the substantially
flat output response within the passband. The first wavelength demultiplexer is a
resonant optical cavity, absent distinct output ports, and light (69) propagating between
the first wavelength demultiplexer and the second wavelength demultiplexer is
unguided. The absence of distinct output ports in the first wavelength demultiplexer
reduces ripples in the substantially flat output response within the passband.
Alternatively, the first wavelength demultiplexer is replaced by an MMI-phasar.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling image quality
and compression ratios in image segmentation. More particularly, the invention is
directed to an image segmenting system and method that analyzes and classifies pixel
blocks of an image to determine the manner in which the image block should be
compressed, e.g. with a lossy or a lossless technique. This approach, which assumes
no apriori knowledge of the any specific region of the image, results in effective use of
the various known compression techniques and provides improved overall
compression ratios and image quality.

Abstract: A generator system is arranged to respond to a variation
in the load with a generous margin regardless of a change
in the output of the generator (1) or the engine (2) due
to degradation with the passage of time. The output current
of the generator (1) is rectified by a converter (3) composed
of thyristors in a bridges configuration of which the direct
current output is converted by an inverter (4) into an
alternating current at a commercial frequency and connected
to a load (5). The engine speed is controlled so that the
conduction angle of the thyristors in the converter (3) can
be held at a target degree. As the target degree stays within
a range smaller than the maximum limit, the generator (1)
runs with a margin thus readily responding to a variation
in the load (5). When the throttle opening is excessively
opened, the target conduction angle is decreased to increase
a target speed of the engine (2), hence inhibiting the engine
(2) from being overloaded and running at an excessive higher speed.

Abstract: A method and device for generating hot sheets for lottery numbers based upon previously
drawn numbers and astronomical data. A player selects at least one number for input. The input
number is then searched for in a database containing historical data of at least one comparison
lottery including the number and date of previous draws. It is then determined when the number
selected by the user was previously drawn in the comparison lottery by accessing the comparison
lottery database. A second database, which is also accessible by the device, which may be a part
of the first database, contains data regarding the timing of certain astronomical events, such as
planet aspects, planet ingress, moon ingress, and the phases and eclipses of the moon. Time gaps
between the time of the previous drawings of the number selected by the player is determined,
such as by using the dates immediately before and after the dates the number previously fell.
Based upon these time gaps hot numbers are determined for each of the astronomical events,
such as the number corresponding to the smallest and largest time gaps for each event. These
numbers are then displayed on a display and/or printed on a sheet of paper as a "hot sheet" to be
used in selecting numbers for play in a lottery.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system providing a VPN service by connecting a VPN
(Virtual Private Network) to a mobile communication network. A home agent
(HA) stores location information of a mobile node (MN) and information on
whether the MN is registered in the VPN. A foreign agent (FA) transmits a

information of the MN, and transmits data to an ISP (Internet Service Provider)
router in the same subnet upon receiving a VPN service request. A server
provides the VPN service and a router network connects the VPN to the FA. The
router network includes a server for searching an edge IP router in the network
using an address of the FA. The HA prevents an MN from accepting a call
request received from a specific node in an IP network while the MN is

Abstract: The present invention proposes a printing system (200) whereby a
supply of sufficient data is assured to the print engine (39) so that the print engine
can run continuously and efficiently. The printing system has at least one
marking engine capable of printing an image on a media as a transport moves
the media past the marking engine. Buffers or sets of buffers (30) hold completely
raster image processed pages and interface logic transfers the buffered pages to
the marking engine to transfer the image to the media. Buffer management
logic (31) controls the buffers so that as the printing system accumulates slack time
left over from raster image processing non-complex pages, the slack time is
allocated to complex pages to optimize average raster image processing time
with speed of the print engine.
