The present invention is directed to a gaming chip with a machine-readable symbol encoding a unique identifier for use in a casino environment and methods for producing the same. The present invention prints symbols and human-readable symbols onto a substrate where at least the symbol is machine-readable. The portions of the substrate having the printed symbols, human-readable symbols, or both can be formed into three-dimensional chip members such that the printed surfaces remain on the interior region of the chip member and readable from a region exterior to the gaming chip by a scanner or optical device. The chip members can be integrally formed into a gaming chip through the injection of filler material between the chip members. The injection molding process structurally and integrally bonds the respective chip members together.

The triethylaluminum contained as an impurity in low-purity raw-material diethylzinc, which is inexpensive, is utilized as an additive to reduce the cost of film formation.

Diethylzinc having a low purity (99.99-98% or 99.99-90%) is used as a raw material to produce a ZnO transparent conductive film by the MOCVD (metal-organic chemical vapor deposition) method. Water vapor (H₂O) is used as an oxidizing agent and the triethylaluminum contained as an impurity in the raw material is utilized as an additive (diborane is further added as an additive) to cause the diethylzinc, the water vapor (H₂O), and the triethylaluminum (and the diborane) to undergo a vapor-phase reaction to produce a ZnO transparent conductive film.

By iteratively analyzing the prosthetic joint movement data, the optimization unit adjusts the prosthetic joint movement decision values to ensure that the prosthetic joint does not prematurely enter a stumble recovery state.

The present invention relates to systems and methods to generate accounts on a client when joining the client to a domain while preserving user profiles that were generated prior to joining the client. In general, a user with an account on a client can customize the account, wherein the customization can be saved in an associated profile. The client can employ the user profile when the user logs on in order to return the customization to the user. The present invention provides a novel approach to retain a user's existing user profile when joining the client via mapping the user's existing account to the account that will be generated, and then automatically migrating the user's profile to the generated account during joining the client. The foregoing can provide reduced client setup time, improved setup efficiency, reduced setup cost, and mitigation of severing customization from a user's account.
