Title: Methods and systems for presenting pari-mutuel betting options and constructing wagers
Inventor: TRACY JOSEPH J
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2004-12-01
Abstract: Methods of pari-mutuel wagering are disclosed. In one method, patrons select runners, and betting options are presented. In another method, one wager is placed and other wagers are presented, wherein additional wagers may include a runner of the first wager. Another method allows patrons to wager on a runner, wherein an area representing the runner is marked. In another method, a portion of a wager is selected and a portion of the wager is suggested by the betting interface. In another method, patrons may construct wager(s) for races, or specify criteria for those wagers. In another method, runners are displayed in a table and patrons may select or deselect runner combinations by selecting cells of the table. Methods allowing an organization to set rules for display of a gaming activity, and where players make subscription and programmed bets are described. In another embodiment, patrons select a graphic area for placement of runners in a position of a wager. In another method, a patron has an opportunity to copy a runner of one position to another position of a wager. Another method provides a patron an opportunity to sort runners of a gaming activity. In a further method, a patron places a multi-position pari-mutuel wager by selecting an area of a display element. Systems for performing the methods are also disclosed.

Title: Exercise apparatus using weights and springs for high-speed training
Inventor: PIANE ROBERT A JR
IPC: A63B21/06
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: Exercise equipment of the type comprising a frame structure; a handle coupled to the frame structure and adapted fox movement by a user, back and forth in a first direction and in an opposite second direction; and at least one weight, coupled to the handle for applying a gravitational force to the handle in the second direction.

Inventor: OZSVARI DAVID S
IPC: H04W4/04
Filed: 2006-06-22
Abstract: A two-way wireless monitoring system tracks the location of badged users or objects within a facility, and accordingly provides a variety of services relevant to the badge location and ID. The system comprises a plurality of beacons bearing beacon IDs distributed throughout the facility, a portable badge having a badge address, a base-station having access to a central unit via a data network. Each beacon periodically broadcasts the respective beacon ID, for being picked up by the badge when being nearby. The base-station polls the badge to receive the beacon IDs of the nearby beacons, and then uploads such beacon IDs to the central unit via the data network. Finally, the central unit estimates the badge location and decides on triggering an event within the facility based on the estimated badge location.
Patent CA-2551154-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONES LARRY LAWSON
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2001-07-03
Abstract: A flash-memory-card reader (42) reads and writes multiple types of flash-memory cards (16, 18, 24, 28, 26), including CompactFlash (16), and the smaller SmartMedia (24), MultiMediaCard (28), Secure Digital (26), and Memory Stick ( 18). A converter chip (40) converts the different card signals for transfer to a host personal computer (PC) (20). Serial-to-parallel data conversion is performed for the smaller card formats with serial data interfaces, but not for CompactFlash with a parallel-data interface. A single slot (22) has a 50-pin connector for CompactFlash cards (16) or passive adapters (30, 32 34). The passive adapters have the CompactFlash (16, 28, 24, 18) form factor and a smaller connector fitting smaller flash cards (30, 34, 32). Passive adapters have no components but simply wire the smaller connector to the CompactFlash connector (62, 64, 66, 68). A pin mapping allows card-type detection by sensing the LSB address pins of the CompactFlash interface. A larger CompactFlash reader (42) has multiple slots (44) for each card type.      The reader (42) is connected to the PC by a cable (46), or located within the PC chassis in a drive bay. A stand-alone reader (42) copies images from the flash-memory card (16) to a removable disk media.      Pressing a button initiates image transfer.
