A method of implementing clan wars is disclosed. An incentive reward is generated that is to be provided to at least one member of a group of users of a game networking system based on the group exercising a level of influence over a location during a time period that is greater than a level of influence of an additional group of users over the location during the time period. It is determined that the group exercised the level of influence over the location during the time period. The incentive reward is provided to the at least one member of the group based on the determining that the level of influence exercised by the group is greater than the level of influence of the additional group over the location during the time period.

A multipurpose skateboard tool comprising two separable substantially flat elongated members and a separable chain. The first substantially flat elongated member comprises a socket within one end, a wrench within the opposite end, and a keyway and at least one through hole within the middle portion. The second substantially flat elongated member comprises a wrench within one end, a screwdriver bit on the opposite end, and a rivet and at least one through hole within the middle portion. The two substantially flat elongated members may interlock together via the keyway and rivet mechanism for compact and flat storage. When interlocked, the chain may be inserted through adjacent through holes to prevent separation of the two substantially flat elongated members.

The invention provides for generating a customizable gaming-machine template for advertising on a gaming-machine. A customizable template may be generated to allow a user, such as a casino or licensee, to customize secondary gaming information to be displayed on the gaming-machine. The user may select what type of information is to be displayed, when is it displayed (e.g., times of days), triggers for its display (e.g., particular states of the gaming-machine) and a format for its display (e.g., size, shape, device, colors, display locations, etc.).

Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to access process control log information associated with process control systems involve obtaining the process control log information from a database based on a plurality of logging time periods and at least one data query. The process control log information is then categorized based on at least one of a plurality of categories. A plurality of output files are then generated based on the plurality of logging time periods and the categorized process control log information. A portion of the process control log information is then retrieved from one of the plurality of output files based on one of the plurality of logging time periods and the portion of the process control log information is output.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for quickly and easily providing desired paytable information to a player of a gaming device. The invention utilizes the game's display device containing a plurality of game generated symbols as an index of symbols from which a player can choose a desired symbol. The present invention enables a player to touch or otherwise select the desired symbol and produce desired paytable information, which includes a plurality of different types of information. Touching a desired symbol is simple, interactive and entertaining. Such features are not inherent in the existing methods. The invention contemplates the game maintaining one or more databases for every single symbol. Alternatively, the game can maintain one or more databases having information on all the symbols of the gaming device and immediately scroll to the desired symbol upon the player's selection.

A fastening device configured for an easy removable attachment to fabric that is employable with one hand to form a compressive engagement with a mounting point on fabric that is easy to use and non-damaging to fabric. The device can be easily operated by users with limited hand or finger dexterity or only having a single useable hand. The engagement provides a compressive gripping engagement means which is easily positioned to a mounting position on fabric which can be sighted through a gap in a central area of the body of the device. The enhanced gripping means are provided by a toothed gripping means or a friction enhancing means.

摘要:
A method of forming a solid-phase support, the method including the steps of providing a substrate having a reaction vessel, dispensing a particle in the reaction vessel, and permanently bonding the particle in the substrate within the reaction vessel. The particle may include a microbead. The particle may include controlled pore glass. A method of synthesis is also disclosed that includes including the steps of providing a solid-phase support including a particle embedded to the substrate adjacent a surface of substrate, the particle being functionalized to covalently attach an intermediate compound of a synthetic reaction, dispensing a liquid including a reagent to the solid-phase support to effect the synthetic reaction, and removing the liquid from the solid-phase support by centrifugation, whereby the intermediate compound remains attached to the substrate by the particle.

A photographic exposure control apparatus includes a directable light source, and an auxiliary shutter which is located between a camera lens and a subject. The auxiliary shutter includes a housing structure which has a window therein. The window is selectively opened and closed by a blade which is movably mounted on the housing structure, which is motor driven, and which allows the housing structure to block entry of light into a camera lens when the window is closed, and to allow light into the lens when the window is open.The method of the invention includes the steps of positioning a subject and a film-containing camera so that the subject is in the view of the camera, underexposing an image of the subject on the film, positioning an auxiliary shutter between the subject and the camera, with the auxiliary shutter in a closed condition, darkening the environment containing the subject and the camera, providing an emitted light beam which may be directed towards the subject using a light source and a fiber-optic cable which has an auxiliary shutter control button located thereon, directing the emitted light beam at the subject, opening the auxiliary shutter for a predetermined time interval with the emitted light beam directed at a particular portion of the subject, and closing the auxiliary shutter with the auxiliary-shutter control button at the end of a predetermined time interval.
