Filed:

Feb 2, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/364734

Inventors:

Wayne A. VanBenschoten - Ivoryton CT, US
Michael J. Elmoznino - Lyme CT, US
Michael J. Ferrara - Mystic CT, US

Assignee:

JAYPRO SPORTS, INC. - Waterford CT

International Classification:

F16M 11/42
F16M 11/22

US Classification:

248519

Abstract:

Apparatus are provided that include a pole having a first and second end with the pole being configured to support one or more gaming apparatus. A base is configured to support the pole to hold the pole in an upright position. The base has a front and back end, and is configured to receive the first end of the pole such that the pole is positioned closer to the front end than the back end of the base. The base has a center of gravity that is closer to the back end than the front end such that the back end provides lateral stability to the base. The base can also include one or more retractable wheels movable between a retracted position in which the base is fixed relative to a support surface, and an extended position in which the base is movable relative to the support surface.

International Classification:

H04L 12/931
H04L 12/00

Abstract:

A synchronous packet-processing pipeline whose data paths are populated with data-plane stateful processing units (DSPUs) is provided. A DSPU is a programmable processor whose operations are synchronous with the dataflow of the packet-processing pipeline. A DSPU performs every computation with fixed latency. Each DSPU is capable of maintaining a set of states and perform its computations based on its maintained set of states. The programming of a DSPU determines how and when the DSPU updates one of its maintained states. Such programming may configure the DSPU to update the state based on its received packet data, or to change the state regardless of the received packet data.
