A video poker game system and method includes dealing a card to a player for placement into one position of a hand having a predetermined number of positions. The player then arranges the dealt card in one position of the hand with an object of obtaining a hand having cards placed in a predetermined order. These steps are repeated until all of the predetermined number of positions in the player's hand are filled with dealt cards. A first payout is awarded to the player if the dealt cards of the ...

N-.alpha.-Alkoxyalkyl-carboxamides are prepared by reacting primary or secondary amides of aliphatic, araliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids, or cyclic carboxamides (lactams) which are not capable of forming an aromatic system, with open-chain .alpha.-halogenoalkyl ethers with at least 3 C atoms per molecule, in the presence of tertiary amines. N,N-Bis-.alpha.-alkoxyalkylcarboxamides can also be obtained from the primary carboxiamides. The reaction products, of which the compounds V and VI: ##...

A signal processor has a single random access memory having a capacity equal to or greater than the total number of words in a processing interval. An address sequence mechanism is operatively connected to the memory for addressing the memory in a sequence for, after the first processing interval, reading out data for the first processing interval continuously in a preselected output order and overwriting data for the next processing interval continuously in a preselected input order in the loca...

In order to prevent the slack of a core of an accelerator wire which otherwise may occur during the operation of an apparatus to maintain the vehicle in running at some desired speed, a guide is arranged along a portion of the core between an end of an outer casing of the accelerator wire from which the core extends outwardly and a member, fixed to a carburetor torsion shaft, at which the core is anchored.

The present invention provides a display device which can maintain a gap between a front surface panel 1 and a back surface panel 2 at a given value and maintain the air-tightness of a sealed space defined between the front surface panel 1 and the back surface panel 2 even when the gap is relatively large. To achieve such an object, the display device includes the back surface panel 1, the front surface panel 2 and the outer frame 3, the outer frame 3 is constituted of a plurality of divided wal...

A process for emulsifying the constituents of a molten bath found in metallurgical refining applications. Immiscible constituents are delivered to a stationary reactor; the reactor is rotated about the vertical axis thereof; rotation is ceased for less than thirty seconds; and rotation of the reactor about the vertical axis occurs in the opposite direction. Gases are blown axially at and over the surface of the molten bath to provide a particular gaseous atmosphere.

A test fixture for a circuit board testing system having a plurality of probes, some of which are mounted on one platen and others on another within the fixture. The platens are selectively advanced by use of a vacuum and thereby the probes associated with each platen are advanced into contact with the circuit board under test.

This invention relates to a non-flammable homogeneous or foamed organo-red mud polymers, which essentially comprise the reaction product of red mud and a compound possessing at least two isocyanate groups.

A substantially closed fabric with a soft hand is made by compressive redistribution of the filaments of at least some of the yarns of an open mesh fabric. In order to achieve the desired result, certain characteristics of the yarn and the fabric are necessary and are disclosed, e.g., continuous filament yarns having not more than one turn per inch, a fabric having a denier per inch of at least four thousand and a thermoplastic coating with a softening point less than that of the filaments. The ...

A method for reducing the working temperature of a tire tread for vehicles utilizing a tire tread comprising a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprising 100 parts by weight of an elastomeric material, 40-120 parts by weight of a filler, comprising from 50 to 100% by weight of carbon black and from 0 to 50% of silica, and 3-40 parts by weight of at least a conventional additive. The second portion comprising 100 parts by weight of an elastomeric material, 40-120 parts by we...
