    摘要: A programmable sequence controller is disclosed utilizing digital and analog inputs in order to generate digital output driver signals for the control of external systems or devices. The controller emulates mechanical sequence drums so that at any one time each of the simulated drums within the controller executes one of the addressable drum lines programmed within the drum. Each line of each simulated drum can be programmed to specify the energization or deenergization of any output driver as well as the energization or de-energization of any memory bit utilized by the controller in order to provide communication between drums. Each drum may also be programmed to have one or two sets of exit conditions, which if met, cause the controller to effectively rotate the drum to a specified drum line and execute this new drum line during the next scan of the controller. The controller can also sense emergency conditions and cause any or all of the drums to rotate to a specified line regardless of the drum line then being executed by the controller for each of the drums. An improved power-down, power-up circuitry insures an ordered and complete shutdown of the controller if any of a number of conditions exist, including utility AC failure and impending failure of several of the power supply voltages. Handshaking circuitry between the power supply and the remainder of the controller insures that the controller maintains memory validity for all types of shutdown situations, including momentary losses of any supply voltage.The programmable sequence controller includes a clock-calendar capable of continued operation during periods of extended power outages. The clock-calendar can be utilized in any drum line to form part of the control scheme.All programming of the simulated drum lines is performed through an interconnected data communication device such as a teletypewriter and utilizes a simple user-oriented language, with monitoring and diagnostic capability to facilitate debugging.

    摘要: A method for playing video gambling games whereby pay tables vary from play to play, or, alternatively, whereby a plurality of pay tables are possible within a game. For example, in a video poker game a player wagers against a first pay table. If a winner occurs, the next game offers a new pay table with a greater expected value. This process continues until the player loses, whereupon the player is returned to play against the first pay table. Pay tables increment and decrement in expected value based on achieving predetermined events within the current game, within a previous game or games or randomly.

    摘要: Coolant water is delivered to a fuel cell stack through a manifold which extends up the side of the stack and which communicates with the cooling plates in the stack by means of a plurality of outlet pipes or snivvies. The coolant exhausted from the stack is handled with a similar outlet manifold with corresponding outlet snivvies. The water is ducted into the inlet manifold via a conduit which opens into the inlet manifold at the top thereof and a bleed conduit extends from the inlet manifold at the bottom thereof, to an ion exchange bed polisher and then back to the cooling system bypassing the stack. In this manner, constriction of the snivvies by iron oxide and copper corrosion product is more uniformly distributed on the inlet side, and the corrosion products in the coolant water which settle to the bottom of the inlet manifold are carried around the stack to the polisher or ion exchange bed where particles are removed from the water, whereupon the water is returned to the coolant loop.
