Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: Un système lit un identificateur d'une main de cartes afin d'identifier les cartes. Par exemple, le système peut lire un identificateur provenant de deux cartes formant la donne initiale au black jack, une carte étant visible et l'autre retournée. Le système détermine la valeur d'une main de cartes à partir des identificateurs lus ; il peut par exemple déterminer la valeur d'une donne initiale constituée de deux cartes au black jack alors qu'une seule carte est visible ; il peut informer un donneur de cartes de la valeur, ou de l'état selon la valeur, de la main ; il peut déterminer si les cartes formant la main sont authentiques en validant celles-ci au moyen de l'identificateur lu ; il peut déterminer si les cartes formant la main sont dans un ordre prévu grâce à la séquence initiale, connue, des cartes dans le paquet.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un processus qui permet d'obtenir une masse particulaire à écoulement fluide, microporeuse et revêtue d'oxyde de métal de terre rare catalytique, la quantité d'oxyde de métal revêtu étant élevée, sans compromettre l'efficacité du matériau. L'oxyde de métal de terre rare déposé sur la surface externe peut représenter de 20 % à 70 % du poids du contenu total équivalent en matériau particulaire microporeux et en oxyde de métal de terre rare. En particulier, une masse particulaire à écoulement fluide zéolitique possédant des charges élevées d'oxyde de métal de terre rare tend à être assez stable. Par exemple, lorsque la masse particulaire à écoulement fluide zéolitique revêtue d'oxyde de métal de terre rare a été thermo-traitée à des températures inférieures à environ 200?0¿ C, puis mélangée en suspension épaisse dans de l'eau, habituellement moins de 30 % du poids d'oxyde de métal de terre rare ( du contenu total équivalent en oxyde de métal de terre rare) est retrouvé pour une lixiviation dans l'eau. On a découvert que ce matériau possède une lixiviabilité minimale lorsqu'il a été traité au dessus de 400?0 ¿C.
