| 1st Invent: | Adam Gary (Marco Island, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=4 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A refrigeration appliance includes a freezer compartment fluidly coupled to an ice maker compartment via an ice maker return duct. An internal sensor is positioned within the freezer compartment and configured to sense a first condition within the freezer compartment. An external sensor is coupled to said refrigeration appliance and configured to sense a second condition external to said refrigeration appliance. A return fan is positioned within the ice maker return duct. A controller is operably coupled to the internal and external sensors to receive sensed first and second conditions. The controller is configured to determine a differential between the sensed first condition within the freezer compartment and the sensed second condition external to said refrigeration appliance. The controller activates the return fan to blow air from the ice maker compartment into the freezer compartment in response to the differential. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | An apparatus generates truly random numbers. The apparatus includes a container that is at least partially filled with a fluid (e.g., water or air). The apparatus includes one or more cameras configured to capture images of one or more objects (e.g., dice) in the fluid. The apparatus includes one or more agitators configured to agitate the fluid. Agitation of the fluid by the one or more agitators cause the one or more objects to move within the fluid. The apparatus includes a random number generation circuit coupled to the one or more cameras. The random number generation circuit is configured to generate random numbers based on the captured images. In some embodiments, each of the one or more objects includes one or more physical features. The images captured by the one or more cameras include at least a subset of physical features of the one or more physical features. |

| 1st Invent: | G. Lee Wesson (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods for a skill-based games are provided with the present disclosure. A plurality of targets each are displayed and moved about a playfield shown on a display of an amusement system according to one or more non-random, learnable sequences or patterns. Upon receipt of an input at one or more of player controls of a player station of the amusement system, a game play is initiated and an object is directed along the playfield from the player station. If the object engages a target of the plurality of targets, the game play is ended and it is determined whether a threshold criterion for obtainment of the target has been met. An award is distributed to the player station if the threshold criterion for obtainment of the target has been met. Other aspects also are described. |
