摘要:
A method and system for implementing a four zone twenty one game, wherein a starting zone value is only zero and a game objective is to reach a numerical value in a maximum amount of zones. In the method and system, a gaming operator device receives an initial wager from a player, reveals each card to a player and receiving an input from the player regarding which zone area to place each card in, determines which zone or zones card placement is permitted, repeats the step of revealing and receiving and the step of determining until a determination is made that card placement is not permitted, and resolves the wager according to a predetermined pay scale.

A method of playing a game that uses the numbers generated by a Keno game is described. The method includes i) receiving a wager from a player, ii) the player selecting to play a matrix-like game displaying through a display medium the player selected variables, with the matrix containing subsets each with a plurality of numbers, the subsets defined by linear contiguous trajectories; vertical, horizontal and diagonal; the subsets including generally equivalent amounts of variables, each subset including a variable that is shared with at least one other subset in the matrix and there are a plurality of subsets that include a variable that are mutually exclusive to another subset within the matrix, and iii) determining the gaming operators variables, displaying the gaming operators variables, determining whether the player wins or loses the game according to predetermined rules.

A bi-directional fixating transvertebral (BDFT) screw/cage apparatus including an intervertebral cage for maintaining disc height, and a method of inserting the same is provided. The intervertebral cage includes a first internal screw guide and a second internal screw guide, a first screw member and a second screw member, and a central screw locking lever coupled to the intervertebral cage, wherein the central screw locking lever prevents the first screw member and the second screw from pulling-out of the first internal screw guide and the second internal screw guide. The central screw locking lever includes a rotatable handle and stem portion, or a screw locking horizontal bracket. A pliers device for inserting and removing the bi-directional fixating transvertebral (BDFT) screw/cage apparatus, a posterior cervical and lumbar facet joint staple, and a staple gun for a posterior cervical and lumbar facet joint staple also are provided.

An endoscope video imaging subsystem including an image sensor, a plurality of image forming optical elements, a video processor, a video processor display signal output interface, an illumination subsystem with one or more light sources, and at least one light transfer and projection element. The endoscope is in communication and sends images through an electronic interface to a head-mounted eyepiece configured to be worn by a user, wherein the eyepiece includes an optical assembly combined with displayed content, an integrated processor for handling content for display to the user, and an integrated image source for introducing the content from the camera to the optical assembly.

An artificial replacement disc includes a pair of substantially parallel plates formed to occupy a space defined by vertebral endplates, each of the plates including a plurality of spikes on a first surface and a concave trough formed on a second surface opposite of the first surface. A mobile core includes a core rim with opposing convex surfaces extending from opposite sides of the core rim, the mobile core being capable of being disposed between the pair of plates to permit the vertebral endplates to move relative to one another. The spikes on each of the plates extend substantially away from the mobile core and the convex surfaces are formed to integrally fit within the concave trough of at least one of the plates. The core rim limits lateral movement of the mobile core relative to the parallel plates. One or more insertion tools for inserting and implanting the replacement disc are also described.

Thoracic/lumbar and cervical spinous process staples which staple/fuse adjacent spinous processes are disclosed. Thoracic/lumbar transverse process staples which staple/fuse adjacent transverse processes are also disclosed. Each embodiment has upper and lower claws connected by a ratchet spring mechanism, along with a multiplicity of bone fastener prongs attached to the upper and lower claws. Two sets of prongs on each staple claw are spaced by a distance approximately equal to the distance separating adjacent spinous or transverse processes so as to facilitate stapling/fusion of two adjacent processes. Also disclosed are staple prongs with multiple perforations which enable incorporation of bone fusion material thereby facilitating stapling/fusion of spinal elements.

A bi-directional fixating transvertebral (BDFT) screw/cage apparatus, a posterior lumbar facet staple and a staple gun for a posterior lumbar facet staple, a posterior cervical facet joint staple, and a staple gun for a posterior cervical facet joint staple are provided. The BDFT apparatus includes an intervertebral cage including a plurality of internal angled screw guides, a plurality of screw members, and a screw locking mechanism that prevents the screw members from pulling out of the internal angled screw guides. The internal angled screw guides orient a first screw member superiorly and a second screw member inferiorly. The intervertebral cage is adapted for posterior lumbar intervertebral placement, anterior lumbar intervertebral placement, anterio-lateral thoracic intervertebral placement, or anterior cervical intervertebral placement.

Methods, Systems and apparatuses for playing a regulated casino wagering game with poker or blackjack cards. Disclosed is a trade-in 21 game where a player gets a payout if they have under 21 or exactly within a quantity of cards and a payout if they receive multi 21's within that game. Those same features can be used in a casino table apparatus played electronically or as a lottery game. Also disclosed is a place card poker game where a player selects the position of the poker zone. Also disclosed are place card games for poker and a numerical objective that that can be played as a tournament or a social game. Also disclosed is a baccarat table game where a player wagers on the specific numerical additive value of the cards with payouts specific in general correspondence to the probability of winning that said value.
