Abstract:
An outcome determination device includes a controller a random generator configured to determine an outcome from a predetermined number of outcomes. The device includes a display device, which may in the form of a wheel, having a plurality of sectors. A plurality of illumination devices are associated with each of the sectors. The sectors correspond to the predetermined number of outcomes. The random number generator and controller determine an outcome for a game, with the outcome corresponding to one of the sectors. The controller illuminates the illumination device corresponding to the sector that corresponds to the determined outcome. The illumination devices may be illuminated before, during, and/or after determination of the outcome, and may be illuminated in sequence to produce a rotating effect or may be illuminated randomly.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for defining, measuring and tracking aspects, such as property defects. Based on the survey data, quantitative detail for the property defects is determined and treatment approaches selected.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided that utilize GPS mapping and a web-based data management as a platform for defining, measuring and tracking aspects of a building or grounds.

Abstract:
A shuffling machine for use with a game of chance having a plurality of possible outcomes includes a base structure and a wheel portion in communication with the base structure. The wheel portion includes a plurality of discrete areas corresponding in number to the plurality of possible outcomes for the game of chance. Each of the plurality of areas includes a plurality of displays configured to show an indicia corresponding to one of the plurality of possible outcomes. The machine includes a selector for identifying one of the plurality of areas and the indicia associated with the identified one of the plurality of areas. Wherein the plurality of indicia are not fixed such that they are not permanently assigned to one of the plurality of areas.
Abstract:
A random number generator for a game of chance includes a plurality of rotating structures. Each of the plurality of rotating structures includes a plurality of slots uniformly spaced about a center axis thereof. The random number generator includes a set of cards that are equal in number to the total number of slots such that one card is disposed in each of the slots. The generator also includes at least one detent mechanism for identifying a single card on at least one of the plurality of rotating structures.
Abstract:
A table game system for a game of chance includes a card shuffling machine for randomly selecting a single card from among a defined set of cards, the single card having indicia relevant to an outcome for the game of chance. The card shuffling machine is rotatable about an axis of rotation and includes a plurality of trays uniformly spaced about an outer periphery thereof. Each of the defined set of cards is located in a respective one of the plurality of trays. A card retrieval device is disposed adjacent the card shuffling machine and configured to at least partially remove the single card from its tray. A controller is in communication with the card retrieval device to effectuate engagement of the card retrieval device with the single card.
Abstract:
A method of creating a family tree includes receiving a request from a user to return a file that includes the family tree and using a plurality of primary source records to construct the family tree based on the request. The records indicate multiple alternatives for at least one branch of the family tree. The method also includes sending a file that includes the family tree to the user. The file includes the alternatives.
Abstract:
A pole butt removal tool is an unconventionally threaded shaft and a hub. The unconventionally threaded shaft has a minor diameter, a major diameter, a hub end and a terminal end with the terminal end ending in a conical point. The major diameter as a ratio to the minor diameter of the thread is greater than a major diameter/minor diameter ratio of Unified Coarse Thread Series (UNC) and the pitch is significantly less than Unified Coarse Thread Series (UNC).
