A non-invasive sensor has a contact membrane (6,16) and a cover membrane (2,12), the cover membrane being adapted for extension of a body surface to project the contact membrane against a body surface beneath it. The contact membrane will normally be attached to the cover membrane around its periphery such that at least one of the membranes forms a convex outer surface, and a spacing material (8,20) can be interposed between the membranes to achieve this object. The cover membrane may extend over a support element (10), with the contact membrane overlaying and spaced from the other face of the support element by spacing material.

A data warehouse is provided for gaming systems located in multiple jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction collects gaming data from one or more gaming devices. Data from each jurisdiction is extracted, transformed and loaded into a data warehouse. A network, such as the Internet, may be used to transfer the data to the data warehouse. An on-line analytical processing (OLAP) application provides analysis services, such as point-in-time data reports, summary data reports, comparison reports, trend analysis reports and profitability reports, and other data analysis and data mining applications.

A rail track arrangement has a rail (20), a sheath or shell (22) which receives the rail (20) and a resilient layer (26) between the sheath (22) and the rail (20). The sheath (22) has mounting points (30) at an upper surface of each side (22a, 22b) of the sheath (22), and upper side portions (32) of the resilient layer (26) extends laterally over the mounting points (30) at each side of the sheath (22) and engage with the mounting points (30). The upper surface mounting points (30) for the sheath (22) can be used for positioning of the sheath, and enable the sheath to be grouted into position in a one stage process. The mounting points (30) enable the sheath (22) to be installed without the rail, with high accuracy.

Systems and methods provide mechanisms for updating software assets on a gaming machine (100.1 and 100.2). The gaming software assets may include banner content, advertising content, denomination data, pay table, language data, video content, audio content, episodic game data, wagering game software, operating system software, device driver software and device firmware. The system and methods compare software assets to be placed (408) on a gaming machine to software assets already on the gaming machine. Only those software assets that are not currently present are downloaded to the gaming machine.

A distance, speed and direction sensitive processor coupled to a brake controller. The processor executes instructions to compare actual vehicle performance with that of a deceleration profile and modulates the brake controller to bring vehicle performance into agreement with the profile. Distance information (D) is provided by a radar sensor (215) for long ranges, an ultrasonic sensor (210) for medium ranges, and a wheel rotation sensor for short ranges. Speed information is provided by a vehicle mounted sensor or calculated by the processor based on distance. Direction information is provided by a vehicle mounted switch or determined by the processor based on distance. The brake controller includes a hold valve and a dump valve, each of w...

A system for aligning rails includes a alignment system (100) having a lateral bar (108) supporting rails (4) by clamps (112) having a ratchet. Support members (102) are fixed to the track bed (90) and adjustable supports (110) are mounted on the support members on rollers to allow the supports (110) to slide laterally. Screws are provided to adjust the position of the lateral bar (108) and hence the rails (4). The ratchet and roller combination allow easy raising of the rails and alignment of the rails even by a single operator. A complete rail installation kit and method is also described.

One aspect of the invention provides a rail arrangement in which a rail is releasably supported in an inner shell, and the inner shell and rail are received within an outer shell. This provides flexibility in that the design of the inner shell can be varied to provide different relative positioning of the rail with respect to the outer shell. Thus, the inner shell can be used to take account of sinking of the outer shell, which is typically cast into the rail foundations.

Closed system and process for the conversion of gaseous or a vaporizable organic and/or organo-metallic compound to inert solid which is resistant to solvent extraction, and is itself essentially nontoxic or convertible through oxidation or other natural processes to a toxic material. This process involves a low temperature, low energy conversion, in a close system, of an organic and/or organo-metallic material by initially fragmenting such material into its basic elements followed thereafter by randomly recombining such elements as a solid coating or deposit upon a substrate. In the preferred embodiments of this invention, the toxic and/or potentially toxic material is injected as a gaseous phase into a chamber (21) where it is subjected t...
