摘要： In a gaming machine of the kind which selects a combination of symbols at random during each game and awards prizes when predetermined prize-winning combinations occur, a detector for detecting said prize-winning combinations of symbols comprising a first memory for storing information of each of a number of predetermined symbols which can occur in said selected combinations, a second memory storing information of each of a number of predetermined symbol occurence patterns which can occur in said selected combinations, a first set of comparators for comparing each of the symbols in a selected combination with each in turn of said predetermined symbols stored in said first memory so as to determine an occurrence pattern for each of said predetermined symbols, and a second set of comparators for comparing each determined occurrence pattern in turn with a number of predetermined occurrence patterns stored in said second memory which are associated with the predetermined symbol used for comparison in determining said occurrence pattern and which correspond to prize-winning combinations, the second set of comparators producing a coincidence signal to indicate a win when the determined occurrence pattern corresponds to a predetermined occurrence pattern. Thus each selected combination is analysed a plurality of times using a different combination of predetermined symbol and occurrence pattern each time so as to "look for" each possible prize-winning combination in turn.

摘要： A method of logging information about events for an internal combustion engine having an ignition circuit, and an event logging device arranged to implement the method. The method comprises incrementing a current value of a counter (50) at a predetermined rate when the ignition circuit is turned on, detecting that an event has occurred (53), creating a new event record (54) having at least two fields, populating the fields within the new event record with information about the event (55), including at least an event type and the current value of the counter; and storing the new event record (57).

摘要： A variable geometry turbine of the kind used in a turbocharger has a variable geometry element such as a nozzle ring or an annular array of swing vanes that is operated by an actuator. The actuator has an output shaft coupled to a transmission mechanism for moving the variable geometry element. A rotary sensor device coupled to the output shaft of the actuator has a sensor wheel with a stop, slip clutch mechanism and a rotary position sensor. The device converts movement of the actuator output shaft into rotation of the wheel and the sensor generates an output signal representative of the rotary position of the wheel to provide a value indicative of the position of the variable geometry element. The actuator is calibrated to the position of the variable geometry element by rotating the sensor wheel in a first rotational direction until the variable geometry element reaches the first limit position, then rotating the sensor wheel in a second direction until the variable geometry element reaches the second limit position. The value of the output signal is logged at one of these positions as a limit value. The sensor wheel is allowed to declutch in the event that it encounters the stop in either direction of rotation. The output signal is monitored and the limit value is deducted to determine the position of the variable geometry element.
