Abstract: A system automatically monitors playing and wagering of a game, including the gaining habits of players and the performance of employees. A card deck reader automatically reads a symbol from each card in a deck of cards before a first one of the cards is removed.  The symbol identifies a respective rank and suit of the card. A chip tray reader automatically images the contents of a chip tray, to periodically determine the number and value of chips in the chip tray, and to compare the change in contents of the chip tray to the outcome of game play for verifying that the proper amounts have been paid out and collected. A table monitor automatically images the activity occurring at a gaming table. Periodic comparison of the images identify wagering, as well as the appearance, removal and position of cards and other game objects on the gaming table. A drop box automatically verifies an amount and authenticity of a deposit and reconciles the deposit with a change in the contents of the chip tray. The drop box employs a variety of lighting and resolutions to image selected portions of the deposited item. The system detects prohibited playing and wagering patterns, and determines the win/loss percentage of the players and the dealer, as well as a number of other statistically relevant measures. The measurements provide automated security and real-time accounting. The measurements also provide a basis for automatically allocating complimentary player benefits.

Abstract: The invention describes microchannel reactors comprising a metal substrate having an alumina-layer, such as aluminide and catalyst metal particles directly disposed thereon, such as via thermal-growth. The catalyst may comprise a Pt/Sn atomic ratio of 1:4. Cross-flow, post-assembly and channels of complex, continuous or interior nature may be used. Methods of making catalysts in a microreactor channel, methods of making catalysts as such, methods of making a microchannel reactor and methods of conducting chemical reactions such as oxidative dehydrogenations and conversion of ethane to ethylene are also described. Superior performance, especially for high temperature reactions at high flow rates and low contact times, can be obtained from a catalyst formed by directly depositing a catalytic material onto a low surface area thermally-grown alumina layer, said layer preferably grown at a temperature from 1000-1100~C. The alumina layer is to be dense and substantially defect-free.

Abstract: A fluid conditioning system designed to be installed between the well perforation and the intake of a pump used to effect artificial lift is used to filter and chemically treat production fluids. The fluid conditioning system is an apparatus that provides scale inhibitors and/or other chemical treatments into the production stream. In some embodiments, the fluid conditioning system may be a part of the production stream filter wherein the filtering material is comprised of a porous medium that contains and supports the treatment chemical. In other embodiments, the chemical treatment may be accomplished by the gradual dissolution of a solid phase chemical. The treating chemical may be recharged or replenished by various downhole reservoirs or feeding means. In yet other embodiments, the treating chemical may be replenished from the surface by means of a capillary tube. In certain other embodiments, the apparatus may be retrievable from the surface thereby permitting recharge or replenishment of the chemical in the apparatus on an as-needed basis. The filtration apparatus may incorporate a by- pass valve that allows fluid to by-pass the filter as sand or other particulate matter fills up or blocks the filter.
