Abstract: A method and an apparatus for executing codes embedded inside a device to verify a code image loaded in a memory of the device are described. A code image may be executed after being verified as a trusted code image. The embedded codes may be stored in a secure ROM (read only memory) chip of the device. In one embodiment, the verification of the code image is based on a key stored within the secure ROM chip. The key may be unique to each device. Access to the key may be controlled by the associated secure ROM chip. The device may complete establishing an operating environment subsequent to executing the verified code image.

Abstract: An integrated circuit transistor is fabricated with a trench gate having nonconductive sidewalls. The transistor is surrounded by an isolation trench filled with a nonconductive material. The sidewalls of the gate trench are formed of the nonconductive material and are substantially free of unetched substrate material. As a result, the sidewalls of the gate trench do not form an undesired conductive path between the source and the drain of the transistor, thereby advantageously reducing the amount of parasitic current that flows between the source and drain during operation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a combination portable tool chest and work station, comprising a hand truck having a pair of upper and lower folding legs, a planar work surface, and a removably attached tool chest. The hand truck can be used to transport tools and equipment to a desired location. Once the device has be placed at a desired location, the upper and lower legs can be extended, which provides a horizontal work station for performing a variety of tasks thereon. In this position, a user has access to the tool chest, and can organize various tools or work pieces on the work station. The user can then unlock the tool chest, and exchange it for a different one. When work is complete, the tool chest can be locked, the upper and lower legs can be folded, and the device can be transported via the wheels.

Abstract: A funding system for gaming establishments provides verified fund transfers from a player's personal account to the gaming establishments. The funding system may utilize a funding account for holding player funds and a player tracking account. The funding account may be owned by the player and receive funds from the player's personal accounts. Fund transfers between the funding account and a gaming establishment may be verified in a verification process comprising one or more verification steps. This reduces or eliminates unauthorized or unintended fund transfers. The funding system may associate a player's funding account with the player's player tracking account. In this manner, a player may utilize a player tracking card to transfer funds between his or her funding account and a gaming establishment.
