摘要:
A updraft wind powered electrical generator system mountable to sides of a vertical, man-made structures facing prevailing winds. The updraft system includes a tubular housing that can include at least one fixed helical vane formed onto the inner surfaces of the tubular housing in a spiral and adapted to direct wind into a spiraled flow and focus fluid onto a fan blade assembly associated with an alternator system and located within the tubular housing before a system exhaust. A generator cone can be mounted near the center and front of the fan blade assembly facing wind passing through the tubular housing. As wind passes over the generator cone it experiences compression between the generator cone and housing resulting in increased pressure and velocity of the fluid, thereby increasing rotational speed of the generator blades and generator as the compressed, spiraled fluid passes through the blades and exits the tubular housing.

A water-borne hazard detection and water treatment system includes sensors (e.g., flow rate, microorganism detectors, and chemical detectors) and can be microprocessor controlled. Microorganisms and/or chemicals are detected within a water distribution system. Treatment areas can be deployed at various stages along a water distribution system. Water entering/passing through a “treatment area” are subjected to light emanating from an ultraviolet laser. UV treated water is provided to its intended point of use after treatment. Filtration can be deployed around input and/or output locations of a system. The system is networkable for communication to remote monitoring agencies (e.g., command and control units) through wired and/or wireless network communications and devices. Networked monitoring and assessment enables rapid deployment of counter measures within affected water distribution systems and populated communities. Emergency distribution shut-off through the distribution network can be based on input from distributed sensors. Multiple treatment systems can be staged.

Portable decontamination and deodorization systems configured to decontaminate a target environment for specified periods of time. A housing contains pressurized media. A spherical media diffuser can be connected to and controlled by a sphere retainer module and a funnel-like orifice can be located under a lower hemisphere of the spherical media diffuser to move the spherical media diffuser and over the funnel-like orifice creating a gap there-between to evenly distribute chemical in a fog or spray throughout a room. a valve controller can be coupled by tubing between media contained in said housing and the gap formed between the spherical media diffuser and funnel-like orifice.

A UV radiation-based surface disinfection system disinfects contaminated surfaces by providing disinfecting UV radiation that eliminates pathogens or microbes from the target surface that it irradiates/illuminates. The system includes a housing adapted to contain UV radiation sources and operate as a UV shield and director, at least one UV radiation (light) emitting source mounted within said housing for providing disinfecting UV radiation from said housing onto a target surface, and at least one of a range sensor and timer. UV radiation source(s) can be mounted on a rotating or sliding assembly within the main assembly to disinfect the preferred surface. The UV radiation source(s) can also be mounted in a portable handheld assembly having a range sensor for enhanced safety during use. The system can be powered by standard AC electrical power or batter sources.

Flat panel displays can broadcast their identity for discovery by handheld devices interested in obtaining data associated with video programming displayed on the displays. An application can be downloaded and activated on smartphones that will enable them to capture an image of the video programming and recognize is with the help of a remote server, or wirelessly obtain a list of available (discovered) flat panel displays (multiple screens, depending on venue) that allow wireless access to data associated with video programming displayed (or previously displayed and stored in a queue) on flat panels. Video programming rendering on a flat panel of interest can be identified via the smartphone and the smartphone can access additional data either directly from the flat panel or from a remote server once the data has been identified and/or engage in an interactive session in association with the displayed programming or data.

Temporary, user-authorized cloning of physical mobile phone functionality via a secure server can enable physical mobile phone features to be accessed and controlled by a user from a remote client. A secure server can include mobile phone registration information, enable secure access by users via a remote client, maintain communication and synchronization with the mobile phone, receive data associated with the physical mobile phone when is not in communication with at least one of a supporting telecommunication network and the secure server, and enable the physical mobile phone user to obtain secure communication with the secure server via a remote client, access and manage cloned mobile phone data and communicate with third parties. Physical mobile phone user access to the secure server and cloned mobile phone functionality with the remote client can be terminated once the physical mobile phone user logs off of the secure server from the remote client.

Location based wagering method sand systems. An online wagering service can be invoked via a mobile device. A determination can then be made regarding the location of the mobile device and a jurisdiction (e.g., state, county, city, etc.) associated with that location. The mobile device and hence a user can be authorized to access the online wagering service based on the location of the mobile device. Based on the location, it can also be determined if use of the online wagering service is allowed in the jurisdiction along with prescribed limitations of use in that jurisdiction. Wagering options are then presented via the mobile device, which conform to the laws and/or regulations of the jurisdiction.
摘要:
Methods and systems for conducting a competition within a gaming environment. Two or more players can be enabled to electronically access a gaming environment over a communication network. The players can be registered to allow access to a competition within the gaming environment. Each player can be enabled to compete against one or more other players by selecting from macro events displayed in the gaming environment one or more micro event outcomes to future micro events, the micro event outcomes randomized to prevent cheating. A selection of the micro outcomes utilizes a number of points or credits, wherein each selection of a micro outcome increases a selecting player's points or credit balance if the micro outcome occurs or decreases the points or credit balance if the micro outcome selected does not occur.

Method, system and computer program product for displaying additional information about a displayed point of interest. A region region within a particular frame of a display can be selected to access additional information about a point of interest associated with the region. The additional information can be displayed on a secondary display, in response to selecting the region within the particular frame of the display to access the additional information about the point of interested associated with the region.
