    摘要: Conventional spot beam satellites transmit downlink beams that each correspond to a separate and unique uplink signal. Power available for each downlink beam is typically set by an associated amplifier on the satellite, and total transmit power cannot be dynamically distributed across different spot beams. An embodiment of the present invention overcomes this distribution limitation by using multiple replicas of a single signal as input to a multi-port amplifier that allows transmit power to be dynamically distributed across the different spot beams. The replicas may be de-correlated through techniques such as selectively delaying some of the replicas. This power distribution effectively allows dynamic allocation of capacity between areas serviced by different beams. Offered load in different beams can be predicted and used to set the attenuation values appropriately and the attenuation values may also be controlled remotely.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a player may be provided with information identifying a characteristic of a true outcome of a set of possible outcomes of an event, the set consisting of a first and second subset, the second subset comprising a second possible outcome. Next, the player may submit a first wager on a first of the possible outcomes. Next, the system may reveal to the player that a the first subset may not comprise (or may be at least substantially unlikely to comprise) the true outcome. The second subset may comprise (or may be at least substantially likely to comprise) the true outcome. The player may be provided with an opportunity to change from the first wager to a second wager on the second possible outcome, e.g., only if the second subset of possible outcomes comprises the first possible outcome.

    摘要: In various methods, systems, and computer-readable media embodiments, first information about possible future outcomes of an event may be provided to at least one user of a gaming device. Wagers may be associated with possible outcomes. A first set of likelihood values corresponding to a set of possible outcomes may be determined using second information based on the wagers. Each of the first set of likelihood values may correspond to a respective possible outcome of the set. A second set of likelihood values may be determined based at least in part on the first set if one or more of its likelihood values are greater than or less than specific values. The second set of likelihood values may be associated with possible outcomes of the set. Third information based on the second set of likelihood values may be provided to at least two of the users.
