    摘要: A linear peptide which is an analog of a naturally occurring, biologically active peptide having an active site and a binding site responsible for the binding of the peptide to a receptor on a target cell, cleavage of a peptide bond in the active site to the naturally occurring peptide being unnecessary for in vivo biological activity, the analog having a non-peptide bond instead of a peptide bond between an amino acid of the active site and an adjacent amino acid, and having the same binding site as the naturally occurring peptide, so that the analog is capable of acting as a competitive inhibitor of the naturally occurring peptide by binding to the receptor and, by virtue of the non-peptide bond, failing to exhibit the in vivo activity of the naturally occurring peptide.

    摘要: An overhead electric conductor comprises a central tubular metal core, at least one layer of helically wound bare metal wires surrounding the core and, loosely housed in the bore of the core, at least one optical fibre element. The optical fibre element comprises a flexible tube of elongate transverse cross-section in which is loosely housed an optical fibre ribbon structure and which is resiliently set in such a form that it follows a path of smoothly curved undulations, the axes of curvature of which lie parallel to one another and normal to the axis of the tube. Should a tensile force applied to the overhead conductor be transferred to the loosely housed optical fibre element, the flexible tube of the element will tend to straighten in a lengthwise direction against the action of its resilient set thereby to reduce any tensile force that might otherwise be applied to the optical fibres and, when the tensile force is removed, the tube will return under the action of its resilient set towards its original form.

    摘要: A distributed computer system is provided for collecting player information. Further, a scoring system is provided that rates a player based on one or more elements of the collected information. Players may be rated with respect to a number of characteristics. Responsive to a determined rating or score, action may be taken by the distributed system with regard to the player. For instance, the player may be provided a complimentary offer, provided an award, and invitation to come to a gambling location, presented an advertisement, or other action may be performed involving the player. Further, the distributed computer system may permit a player to manage their frequent player accounts and receive complimentary offers based on a set of criteria specified by the player.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for incentivizing players to visit a gambling location. In one aspect, a qualified person is invited to play an electronic game which has a plurality of outcomes, at least one of which is a winning outcome. In one embodiment, the qualified person may be required to redeem the outcome at the gambling location. In another embodiment, the person may be required to redeem the outcome at a redemption location. In another aspect, a method is provided for permitting a person to take one or more actions within a gambling location and in response inviting the person to play an electronic game separate from the games offered in a gambling environment at the gambling location, where the game has a plurality of outcomes, at least one of which is a winning outcome, and if the person obtains a winning outcome, requiring the person to redeem the at least one outcome at the gambling location. In one embodiment, the method includes the acts of qualifying a person. Qualification may require specific acts, for example, referring another person, and/or providing an invitation to play an electronic game to another person. Various systems and method assist in tracking and maintaining such referrals. Additionally group gaming in and amongst referrals and/or designated groups may be performed, and in some embodiment required for qualification and/or redemption. Further, another aspect relates to providing special incentives, for example for referral of a new player, for providing casino affiliation or membership information, among others.

One aspect relates to a method for providing additional incentives to a frequent player program member to visit a gambling location such as a casino. In one example, the ease of using the Internet or other remote technologies is combined with advantages of a frequent player program to encourage players to return to the casino. A prize may be revealed in an online game, and the prize may need to be redeemed at the location of the casino. In one example game format, the player may be provided game credits to a player to play one or more online games that reveal prizes. The prizes may include, for example, an amount of non-cashable credit that may be used by the player to play one or more games located at the gambling location, thus encouraging player return. Other prizes, such as, for example, complimentary offers and/or promotional prizes may be awarded that can only be redeemed by the player by returning to the gambling location. Further, another aspect relates to providing special incentives for remote entry of casino affiliation or membership cards. The special incentives may include providing a prize or award to frequent player program members that remotely use his or her membership. In one example, the player is provided an indication of winning an incentive during play of an online game. In another example, the player may be required to obtain the winnings at the casino to encourage players to return to the casino.
