摘要： Described is a method of constructing prize structures that are particularly useful in gaming systems which can be used to implement various games such as bingo and poker. In particular the described pay structures and game systems can have sufficient granularity such that the outcome or payoff of the game being played can be expanded to provide higher payout amounts as well as closely replicate the payoff of a second game. Included are methods and apparatus for playing bingo games and determining which bingo cards are winners. In addition, methods and apparatus for evaluating or checking each card in a bingo game using a bit marked card technique and vector operations are described.

摘要： A method for conducting bingo games includes using a server to collect game play requests from a plurality of electronic player stations. The server determines if a group of the collected game play requests meets one or more predefined conditions for establishing a quorum, and if so conducts a game with the group of game play requests. Even after the game is started, the server continues to collect game play requests in preparation for conducting additional games. When enough game play requests are collected, the server starts the next game, even if previous games are still in progress.
摘要翻译：用于进行宾果游戏的方法包括使用服务器从多个电子播放器站收集游戏播放请求。服务器确定一组收集的游戏播放请求是否满足一个或多个用于建立法定人数的预定义条件，如果是，则执行游戏组播放请求的游戏。即使在游戏开始之后，服务器也继续收集玩游戏请求，准备进行额外的游戏。当收集足够的游戏播放请求时，服务器启动下一个游戏，即使以前的游戏仍在进行中。

摘要： A control system for a health club which stores user records including user activity data in order to monitor and control use of the club's facilities. A central controller includes a memory for storing the user records including attendance data and accounting data, and a main control which is responsive to the user record data for determining whether a user is authorized to use the club's facilities. The central controller is coupled to various club facilities and equipment such as a computerized scale to prevent use thereof if a user is not authorized. The central controller also stores user history data such as user weight data for the computerized scale to alleviate data storage problems.

摘要： A method for enhancing the security of instant lottery tickets. A book number indicating from which packet a particular lottery ticket originated is printed on the back of the ticket and an integrity number is printed on the front of the ticket. The integrity number is related to the book number by an algorithm known only to the ticket manufacturer and the lottery administration. To further enhance the security of the ticket, the book number and integrity number are simultaneously printed onto the ticket.

摘要： A pattern probability (302) is determined for each of a number of target patterns (301) achievable in a bingo-type game. Each pattern probability (302) comprises a probability of achieving the respective target pattern (301) in the bingo-type game. Different pattern sets are then associated with each different prize level in a desired prize distribution. The target patterns (301) and their respective pattern probabilities (302) are assigned or mapped to the different pattern sets so that the probability of achieving any target pattern included in a pattern set comprises a value approximating the desired probability of the prize level with which the pattern set is associated.

摘要： The present disclosure is directed to a system and method of operating a gaming apparatus. In a particular embodiment, the method includes receiving a plurality of wagers made. The method also includes determining whether a prize event has occurred based on an outcome of a game play associated with the plurality of wagers made. Further, the method includes outputting prizes when the prize event occurs. Each of the prizes complies with a prize constraint limit, and a total value of the prizes is greater than a maximum per wager limit value. In addition, a totality of the prizes has a prize structure that is representative of a modeled prize structure of an apparatus that exceeds the prize constraint limit on a per wager basis.

摘要： A general automated method for synthesizing the design of both the topology and parameter values for controllers is described. The automated method automatically makes decisions concerning the total number of signal processing blocks to be employed in the controller, the type of each signal processing block, the topological interconnections between the signal processing blocks, the values of all parameters for the signal processing blocks, and the existence, if any, of internal feedback between the signal processing blocks within the controller. The general automated method can simultaneously optimize prespecified performance metrics (such as minimizing the time required to bring the plant outputs to the desired values as measured by the integral of the time-weighted absolute error or the integral of the squared error), satisfy time-domain constraints (such as overshoot, disturbance rejection, limits on control variables, and limits on state variables), and satisfy frequency domain constraints (bandwidth).

摘要： An apparatus is provided for controlling a system to achieve a specified response. In one embodiment, the apparatus is a proportional, integrative, and derivative (PID) controller having a proportional element, an integrative element, and a derivative element coupled together. The elements respond to a reference signal and generate a control signal that causes a plant to generate a plant output. The proportional element has a gain element where the gain is a function of the ultimate gain of the plant (Ku) and the ultimate period of the plant (Tu). The controllers may also be embodied in non-PID controllers that share common elements, such as the use of: (a) Astrom-Hagglund controller output as an input for a subsequent controller; (b) internal feedback; and (c) a subsequent controller that performs a subtraction operation to generate the difference between the output of the Astrom-Hagglund controller and the output of the subsequent controller.
