Abstract: A recording-medium returning mechanism includes: a feed
roller, provided to a feed-roller shaft that can be rotated,
for coming into contact with a recording medium and feeding it;
a hopper including a holder for holding a plurality of recording
media stacked, the hopper being located at a position allowing
the recording media on the holder to come into contact with the
feed roller while being pressed against the feed roller and a
position moving the recording media on the holder away from the
feed roller; a separator for separating an uppermost recording
medium on the holder from another recording medium simultaneously
fed with the uppermost recording medium; and a return lever for
returning the other recording medium to the holder. The return
lever has such a length that a top end thereof moves on the first
trajectorywhen the return lever is rotated around the feed roller
while no load is applied to the return lever in a longitudinal
direction of the return lever and the length is enough to return
the other recording medium to the holder. The top end of the
return lever moves on the second traj ectory when the return lever
is rotated around the feed roller while the feed roller feds
the recording medium. The first trajectory passes through an
inside region of a circumferential surface of the feed roller,
while the second trajectory passing on a plane substantially
the same as a plane extending from that circumferential surface
because of the recording medium.

Abstract: A bonus game is described having direct player interaction so that the player feels
responsible for the outcome of the bonus game. In one embodiment, a gaming machine
carries out a main game which initiates a bonus game for a certain outcome of the main
game. In one embodiment, the bonus game displays a plurality of hidden objects in the
form of icons. The objects may be credits, money, letters, symbols, or anything else. The
player chooses one or more options, and the hidden values for the selected options are
revealed to the player. The player's goal is to obtain the highest value amount by, for
example, choosing the highest value icon, or by spelling words from accumulated letters, or
by accumulating symbols. Other types of ways to achieve award values are also
envisioned. After each selection by the player, the gaming machine offers the player a
value (e.g., a number of credits) to end the bonus game. The player may accept the offer or
continue playing the bonus game to its conclusion. In another embodiment, no offers are
made to the player, and the award is based upon the accumulated objects.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining if the real-time status of an end-user line (4) is busy or idle. The end-user line (4), via which POTS or ISDN services may be provided, connects an end-user device (2) and an exchange (7) that is comprised by a telecom network (1). For determining the real-time status of an end-user line (4) a presence function (5) is used that comprises a process that makes use of the Completion of Calls to Busy Subscriber (CCBS) supplementary service. Because use is made of the CCBS supplementary service, the presence function (5) is able to act like an originating local exchange. In order to determine the real-time status of an end-user line (4), the presence function (5) communicates with the exchange (7), whereby the exchange (7) acts like a terminating local exchange according to the procedures of the CCBS supplementary service. The real-time status of an end-user line (4) is then determined using the real-time status monitoring capability comprised the exchange (7), which status monitoring capability is part of the CCBS supplementary service.
