Title: Gaming device having expanding and rolling wild symbols
Inventor: CUDDY RYAN WILLIAM
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2007-11-08
Granted: 2012-03-15
Abstract: The gaming device and method disclosed herein have a plurality of reels and at least one expanding and roaming wild symbol or wild symbol set. The wild symbol or wild symbol set moves relative to the reels to provide a player with additional opportunities to win an award. When the wild symbol appears on one of the reels and a designated trigger symbol also appears on one of the reels, the wild symbol expands to form an expanded wild symbol set that includes a plurality of individual wild symbols. The designated trigger symbol is associated with or determines the number of rolls (i.e., the number of times the expanded wild symbol set will roll or move across the reels). For each roll, the expanded wild symbol set rolls (left to right or right to left) to one of the reels. That is, the expanded wild symbol set enables a plurality of individual wild symbols to randomly move or roam from reel to reel for a number of rolls or moves, wherein the number is determined based on the designated trigger symbol. After each move, the gaming device performs an award evaluation to determine whether a winning combination is displayed on the reels. In one embodiment, the designated trigger symbol becomes an individual wild symbol. 10a su 38

Title: Lift magnet mechanism for flywheel power storage systems
Inventor: WANG JIMPO
IPC: H02K7/09
Filed: 2008-06-20
Granted: 2012-02-23
Abstract: Electric power is stored in a flywheel assembly, from a dc power buss, and supplied to the buss, through electronics associated with a motor/generator, its rotor integral with a flywheel supported by magnetic bearings. Upon operation, the flywheel assembly is released by mechanical backup bearings which then normally remain disengaged until shutdown as the flywheel assembly is levitated by the axial magnetic field. Enhancements developed herein smooth the flux density across discontinuities or segments present in permanent magnets due to presently limited capability for manufacture of large annular magnetic members. Herein, the introduction of a medium such as a steel cylindrical member to directly interface with the rotor as opposed to the segmented permanent magnet, greatly eradicates induced eddy current and heat on the rotor. In addition, exhibited is an annularly slotted rotor which allows for greater surface area for flux absorption.
