摘要： A method and system for forming a three-dimensional image of a three-dimensional scene using a two-dimensional image sensor are disclosed. Formation of a three-dimensional image is enabled by locating a coded aperture in an image field provided by a collector lens, wherein the coded aperture modulates the image field to form a modulated image at the image sensor. The three-dimensional image is reconstructed by deconvolving the modulation code from the image data, thereby enabling high-resolution images to be formed at a plurality of focal ranges.

摘要： A near-field microscope using one or more diffractive elements placed in the near-field of an object to be imaged. A diffractive covers the entire object, thus signal may thereby be gathered from the entire object, and advantageously increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting image, as well as greatly improve the acquisition speed. Near-field microscopy overcomes the limitation of conventional microscopy in that subwavelength and nanometer-scale features can be imaged and measured without contact.

摘要： A method of playing a slot machine game in which a player wagers upon one or more symbols and then collect awards for combinations of two or more symbols wagered upon appearing in adjacent to each other in the symbol matrix. The slot machine game may also provide a symbol repositioning feature in which one or more symbols are moved from their original positions to other positions in the symbol matrix.

摘要： A video poker game that uses additional cards to enhance the value of some or all winning card combinations (“Reward Cards”). In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, two Reward Cards are added the traditional fifty-two card deck of playing cards. These Reward Cards do not help form any winning poker hands, but only enhance the value of some or all of the winning poker hands formed using the traditional fifty-two cards in the deck. A single Reward Card would double the payouts; two Reward Cards would quadruple the payouts. As a result, a preferred embodiment offers awards up to four times the traditional awards; maintains the full values of the underlying pay table; minimally impacts traditional poker strategy; and results in an overall return to the player of 99.2948% using a preferred pay table.

摘要： An electrical connector comprises dielectric material defining a passageway, a conductor element having a surface portion that is spaced from, but presented towards, the central axis of the passageway, and a composite rod of dielectric material and conductive material. The rod comprises an elongate core of dielectric material and an elongate body of conductive material secured to and extending lengthwise of the core. The rod can be inserted into the passageway along the central axes of the passageway. When the rod is fitted in the passageway, the body of conductive material engages the surface portion of the conductor element, so that electrically-conductive contact is established between the conductor element and the body of conductive material.

摘要： A gaming device including a plurality of reels having a plurality of symbols including at least one replicator symbol. The replicator symbol includes at least two of the same symbols in a single symbol position on the reels. The replicator symbol may include any suitable number of the same symbols. The replicator symbol thereby increases the likelihood that a player will obtain a winning symbol combination on the reels and also an award in a game. In one embodiment, a winning symbol combination includes at least one replicator symbol and at least one other symbol at a plurality of symbol positions on a payline associated with the reels. In another embodiment, the winning symbol combination at least one replicator symbol and at least one other symbol at a plurality of symbol position in at least one symbol position on a plurality of paylines associated with the reels.
