Abstract: A card game with a Dealer and at least one player, the game using at least one deck of standard playing cards, including dealing a hand (11) of a first face-up card to each player and a face-down card to the Dealer, and dealing at least one additional card to each hand unless the corresponding hand has a value of a target number achievable by one card (13), the objective of the card game being to achieve a hand with a value of the target number, allowing one Discard (17), where face cards and aces each have a value of one, and where a post-discard hand value greater than the target number is a Bust (18).  When a player's hand is a Bust (18), that player may be given the option to wager an additional amount, where a subsequent Dealer Bust hand results in that player winning her original wager plus the additional amount.

The case (12) comprises front and rear parts (12a) and (12b) which are connected together by concealed hinges at their lower edges, so that the parts (12a) and (12b) can move hingedly between a closed configuration and a fully open configuration, in which the front and rear parts are angularly spaced by approximately 180°.  There is a further defined intermediate open configuration in which the front and rear parts (12a) and (12b) are angularly spaced by approximately 90°...When opening the case from the closed position the hinges (18) 'lock' when the front and rear parts reach this intermediate position. The hinges will only 'unlock' , so that the case can be opened further or closed, if sufficient force is applied.  Relative movement of the case parts (12a) and (12b) to the fully open configuration shown in Figure 2 is limited by hinges (18).  In an open configuration the detector (10) presents an article-locating station comprising a mounting surface (20) for receiving an article, and alignment means (22), located on the mounting surface (20), which in this case is a marked line on the mounting surface (20) with which the security mark should be aligned.

Abstract: A control portion for a breaker causes the breaker to apply a current of a first apply phase (R phase) at a timing where a residual flux of R phase agrees with a steady magnetic flux. Thereafter, the control portion determines whether or not the current measured by current measuring portions exceeds a threshold value. When the measured current does not exceed the threshold value, the control portion causes the breaker to apply currents of the other two phases (S and T phases) at a timing where a voltage of R phase becomes zero. When the measured current exceeds the threshold value, the control portion causes the breaker to once shut off the current of R phase and to apply again the current of R phase.
