US Classification:

463 35, 463 43, 463 42

Abstract:

A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In embodiments, the operations can include determining audio playlists from a plurality of independent wagering game applications (“applications”). The audio playlists can include multiple sound content that is activated contemporaneously on a wagering game machine for each of the applications. The operations can further include determining sound classes assigned to the sound content and determining, from prioritization rules, priority values for the sound classes. The operations can further include comparing the priority values and generating sound balancing priorities for the sound content based on the comparison of the priority values. The operations can also include dynamically balancing the sound content, as presented on audio production devices, based on the sound balancing priorities.

International Classification:

B25C 108

US Classification:

227 8

Abstract:

In a fastener-driving tool comprising a housing structure defining an axis and a nosepiece extending from the housing structure, a primary actuating structure is movable between a tool-disabling position and a tool-enabling position, and a secondary actuating structure is coactive with the primary actuating structure for moving the primary actuating structure to the tool-enabling position when the secondary actuating structure is pressed firmly against a workpiece. The primary actuating structure is biased to the tool-disabling position by a primary spring or springs. The secondary actuating structure is biased away from the primary actuating structure by secondary springs. When the secondary actuating structure is pressed firmly against a workpiece, the primary spring or springs exhibit a biasing force less than the biasing force exhibited by the secondary springs. The secondary actuating structure may also be biased away from the housing structure by a tertiary spring.

Appl. No.:

5/942549

Inventors:

Leonard R. Arnold - Highland Park IL
Robert W. Berry - Hazel Park MI

Assignee:

Fansteel Inc. - North Chicago IL

International Classification:

B26D 112

US Classification:

407114

Abstract:

An indexable, insert for single-point and multiple-point negative rake holding devices which convert the cutting point to a positive cutting geometry. The insert has straight descending and widening V-shaped grooves from each corner along the adjacent sides, each groove modulating into a low angle straight section which rises abruptly into a radial cross-ridge at the midpoint of the groove, the cross-ridge rising to a crest line below the plane of the resulting island created by the grooves around the insert.

Abstract:

An approach is provided for next token prediction based on previously observed tokens. The approach involves receiving an observed time series of tokens, wherein each of the tokens represents an observed data pattern. The approach also involves adding a most recent token from the observed time series of tokens into a variable token set. The approach further involves processing a historical token set to determine a historical token sequence comprising the variable token set followed by a next token. The approach further involves recursively adding a next most recent token from the observed time series of tokens into the variable token set for processing until the next token following the variable token set in the determined historical token sequence is unique or meets a target number of possible predictions. The approach further involves presenting the next token as a predicted next token of the observed time series of tokens.
