Abstract: A modular sign comprises a perforated base having a multiplicity of apertures spaced a predetermined distance apart in both horizontal and vertical directions and a plurality of sign modules-positioned on the base. Each sign module has at least two registration projections on its rear surface for engaging two of the apertures in the base. The projections are located with respect to the edges of the sign module such that the edges of adjacent modules are separated by a predetermined distance to create a reveal between adjacent modules when the registration projections are placed within appropriate ones of the apertures. The sign modules are held in place on the base by one or more of an adhesive, a magnet, or a mechanical lock.

Abstract: This invention relates to a loose filter tip detecting machine for filter tip cigarettes. A splittable drum assembly (30) has first and second vacuum force means in respective first and second segments (60,70) thereof. The vacuum force applied through each segment communicates with either the tobacco rod (16) or filter tip (15) of a filter tip cigarette (16) held in a groove (63,72) on the splittable drum assembly. The first and second segments (60,70) of the splittable drum assembly (30) can be moved apart, whereby the vacuum force applied to either section of a filter tip cigarette pulls the filter tip away from the tobacco rod, or vice versa, thus testing whether the attachment between the two sections is loose or not. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a method which makes it possible to determine the correlation between two optical signals, which makes it possible to correlate two optical signals, without using a crystal element which is associated with a plurality of drawbacks, because the components are quite expensive. It has been found possible to replace a frequency doubling crystal by an active, optical wave guide, e.g. in the form of an active, optical fiber, said wave guide transmitting fluorescence which is intensity-related to the arrived signal. When this fluorescence is detected in spectral bands, e.g. in the blue region of the visible light, an image of the strength of the arriving signal may be formed. Current distance delaying of the two correlated signals makes it possible to produce an image of the correlation between the signals.

Abstract: The gaming system includes a host computer, a plurality of general purpose terminal computers forming player stations remote from the host, means for providing communication between each of the terminals and the host. Each terminal has a program for generating screen graphics and sound locally in response to control data packets generated by and received from the host. The host generates random numbers for a game being played on a connected terminal within preset criteria for that game in response to data packets received from the terminal. The data packets are of variable length between 1 and 80 bytes. The host sequentially stores the minimum significant information for replaying a game, auditing and security, such as accounting data of each player at the start of each game, random numbers generated by the host, responses received from a player, and whether a game was completed. Play is substantially real-time, because only minimal data is transmitted with functions requiring large amounts of data, such as screen graphics being generated locally. The statuses of host and terminal are restored automatically on re-establishing communication following an interruption to ensure fairness to players and prevent them defeating the outcome of a game.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The clamping device has a base (1) and a work carrier (2) which can be firmly clamped to the base (1) and on which orientation elements (5, 10, 27, 28) are arranged which interact in pairs and orientate the work carrier (2) in three coordinate axes perpendicular to one another and at the correct angle to the base (1). With their clamping force, several clamping members (4, 11) hold the work carrier (2) on the base (1) in the position secured by the orientation elements. Each clamping member has a chuck (4) at the base (1) and a clamping stem (11) at the work carrier (2). There are stop faces (27, 28) opposite one another as orientation elements for securing the position in a coordinate axis (Z) parallel to the line of action of the clamping force. In order to arrange the construction of the work carrier (2) to be as simple and inexpensive as possible, the same, on the side (9) facing the base (1) in the clamped state, has a continuously plane surface which in certain areas forms the stop faces (27) on this side and to which the orientation elements (10) on this side for securing the coordinate axes as well as the clamping stem (11) are fastened. <IMAGE>
