Filed:

Jul 16, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/504625

Inventors:

Robert Ernest Lee - Austin TX, US
David M. Aldridge - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Trion World Network, Inc. - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

463 42

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention relate generally to computer-based simulations and synthetic environment generation, and more particularly, to a system, a computer-readable medium, a method and an apparatus for generating synthetic environments in a distributed architecture to, among other things, introduce dynamic content. In some embodiments, computer readable medium facilitates transactions in massively multiplayer online games. The computer readable medium can include executable instructions for execution by one or more processors to receive data to perform a transaction between participants associated with the synthetic environment. The executable instructions also can be configured to transact an exchange of a first subset of game data for the first participant and a second subset of the game data for a second participant. The exchange of subsets of the game data between the first participant and the second participant can occur in the common process.

US Patent:

Filed:

Dec 27, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/579376

Inventors:

Boyd E. Slade - Austin TX
David L. Aldridge - Dripping Springs TX
William J. Watson - Austin TX
William P. Bunton - Pflugerville TX

Assignee:

Tandem Computers Incorporated - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

H02J 700

US Classification:

307 66

Abstract:

A DC power distribution system can be configured to utilize a variable number of AC power distribution units. Installation of a converter unit in place of a PDU and resetting of associated switches permits inexpensive and rapid reconfiguration of the system without interrupting power supply to current receiving units. Techniques such as mechanical keying and sense switches minimize the possibility of human error in the reconfiguring operation.
