Appl. No.:

8/846959

Inventors:

Don C. Stephan - Carson City NV
Roy E. Adams - Reno NV
David W. Loar - Reno NV

Assignee:

International Game Technology - Reno NV

International Classification:

A63F 924

US Classification:

2731382

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for activating a gaming machine. The invention includes generating a visible light column at a light generating end when the gaming machine is in a ready state. The invention further includes receiving the visible light column at an a light intensity determining circuit. The light intensity determining circuit being configured to monitor disturbances along the visible light column. Then, activating the gaming machine when the light intensity received at the light intensity circuit moves beyond a predetermined level while in the ready state.

Assignee:

International Game Technology - Reno NV

International Classification:

H04B 1000

US Classification:

463 47

Abstract:

An antenna for a wireless network is disclosed. The network includes multiple gaming machines such as slot machines or video poker machines located in an establishment. These machines communicate certain playing data (coin-in, coin-out data, etc. ) to a central computer over the wireless network. Antennas for the gaming machines are located in a conventional candle on top of the gaming machine. Such candles typically contain one or more lights which when illuminated indicate a certain event such as a jackpot being hit. The disclosed antenna is unobtrusively located within a conventional candle structure so that from its exterior, a candle antenna appears to be a normal candle of the type typically used on gaming machines. However, interior to the candle antenna is an antenna capable of sending and receiving signals of a particular radio frequency band.

Appl. No.:

7/737019

Inventors:

Roy E. Adams - Henderson NV
Warran M. Parris - Las Vegas NV
Paul J. Bania - Boulder City NV

Assignee:

Titanium Metals Corporation - Denver CO

International Classification:

C22C 1400

US Classification:

420418

Abstract:

An alpha-beta titanium-base alloy having a good combination of strength and ductility with a relatively low cost composition. The composition, in percent by weight, is 5. 5 to 6. 5 aluminum, 1. 5 to 2. 2 iron, 0. 07 to 0. 13 silicon and balance titanium. The alloy may have oxygen restricted in an amount up to 0. 25%. The alloy may be hot-worked solely at a temperature above the beta transus temperature of the alloy to result in low. TM. cost processing with improved product yields. The hot-working may include forging, which may be conducted at a temperature of 25. degree. to 450. degree. F. above the beta transus temperature of the alloy. The hot-working may also include hot-rolling, which also may be conducted at a temperature of 25. degree. to 450. degree. F. above the beta transus temperature of the alloy.

Assignee:

Titanium Metals Corporation - Denver CO

International Classification:

C22C 1400

US Classification:

148407

Abstract:

An alpha-beta titanium-base alloy, and fastener made therefrom. The alloy has a combination of an ultimate tensile strength of at least 220 ksi with a minimum elongation of 7% in the solution-treated and aged condition. The alloy has a total beta stabilizer content of 15 to 20%, a total alpha stabilizer content of 1. 5 to 3. 5% and balance titanium. The alloy may have an aluminum equivalence of at least 3. 0%, preferably 4. 0%. The alloy may have an aluminum content of at least 1. 5%. The beta stabilizer element may be at least one vanadium, molybdenum or iron and the alpha stabilizer element may be one or more of aluminum, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.
