Title: Table game system
Inventor: SHIGETA YASUSHI
IPC: A63F1/06
Filed: 2022-08-17
Granted: 2023-11-30
Abstract: A table game system is provided capable of identifying shuffled playing 
cards used at the time of the occurrence of a problem in a card shoe apparatus, 
thereby enabling an investigation of the cause thereof or the taking of 
countermeasurestherefor.  
A card shoe apparatus 2 of the table game system of the present 
invention includes a barcode reader 100 that reads a barcode 3 provided in a 
shuffled playing card set 1s, thereby reading a shuffled card ID that uniquely 
identifies the shuffled playing card set 1s. Also, a lid 2f for enabling the 
entry/removal of the shuffled playing card set 1s is provided in an upper portion 
of the card shoe apparatus 2. A sensor S for detecting the opening/closing of 
the lid 2f is provided under the lid 2f to detect the opening/closing of the lid 2f, 
thereby detecting replacement of the shuffled playing card set 1s. A control unit 
12 further includes a function of storing the following security items in 
connection with a shuffled card ID: (1) a reading error of a code C of a card 1 in 
a cord reading unit 8 (in the case of a false card, the code C is not present in 
the card 1 or a false code C is printed on the card 1, and these will be 
determined as irregular by the card reading unit 8) and (2) replacement of the 
shuffled playing card set 1s (such replacement is determined by detecting the 
opening/closing of the lid 2f).

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, the ion source of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer includes an electron gun having an electron source and at least one electrode for conditioning the flow of electrons, followed by at least one microchannel wafer for generating a pulsed secondary electron beam containing a greater number of electrons from a pulsed primary electron beam. The secondary electron beam enters a gas ionization area of an ion gun which produces a flow of ions which is then passed through the flight tube in order to be analyzed by an ion detector. This provides a high-performance ion source which is compact, sensitive and easy to integrate.

Abstract: Process for producing integrally asymmetrical hydrophobic polyolefinic membranes with a separation layer, in particular for gas exchange, via thermally induced liquid-liquid phase separation. A solution of at least one polyolefin in a solvent system containing a compound A and a compound B is extruded to form a shaped object. Compound A is a strong solvent and compound B a weak non-solvent for the polymer. After leaving the die, the shaped object is cooled using a solid or liquid cooling medium, which does not dissolve the polymer and does not react chemically with it, until the phase separation and solidification of the high-polymer-content phase take place. The integrally asymmetrical membrane producible in this manner has a porosity of greater than 30% to 75% by volume, a sponge-like, open-pored, microporous support layer without macrovoids and on average isotropic pores, a separation layer on at least one of its surfaces with pores <100 nm, if any, and a gas separation factor alpha(CO2/N2) of at least 1. The membrane is preferably used for blood oxygenation.

Abstract: A hinge for a vehicle lid comprises a main spring means (112) operable to urge the hinge into an open position, and a device (114) for assisting the initial opening of the hinge, the device comprising an elongate body in which a plunger (116) is slideable, the plunger being engageable with the hinge, and spring means disposed in the body and acting on the plunger to urge it into an extended position. The plunger is cylindrical and is retained in a cylindrical cavity in the body by an annular fastening, the fastening being formed with one or more radially projecting ribs which engage with an annular recess at the opening of the cylindrical cavity to attach the fastening means to the body. The plunger is formed such that in the extended position disengagement of the one or more ribs from the annular recess is inhibited, preventing the plunger from forcing the fastening out of the body. A bracket extends from a wall of the body to define a slot between the member and the wall, enabling the device to be mounted upon a link of the hinge. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fluid feed duct, which may be used for feeding a stream of recirculated exhaust gas into a stream of intake air for an internal combustion engine. The feed duct includes a hollow structure (10) into which a feed connection (12) is introduced via a joint structure (34). A ceramic pipe (16) is used to prevent heat from the exhaust gas stream from being conducted to mounts in the hollow structure (10) which represents the intake duct of the engine. Consequently, the intake duct can be manufactured of a thermoplastic synthetic resin material, since the risk of thermal overstressing is avoided. The feed connection also has a deflecting segment (19) which is provided in its sides with outlet openings (20). This enables the exhaust gas to be introduced in the direction of flow of the intake air, so that optimal mixing is assured and the hot exhaust gas stream is prevented from passing directly to the wall of the thermoplastic intake duct, thereby preventing the intake duct from being melted.
