Methods and apparatus for identifying unexpected cards in a card-handling device are disclosed. The method comprises providing a card-handling device, wherein the card-handling device comprises a card storage area, an output end for the manual removal of cards, a processor with associated memory, and a card recognition system capable of reading at least a rank of a card, wherein the associated memory has a data file of a set of expected card values, reading a value of a card, comparing the read card value to the set of expected card values, and when the card value is not an expected card value, generating an error signal indicative of a card not belonging to the set.

摘要:
A system and method for facilitating back bet wagering is disclosed. The system includes a central processor in communication with information gathering devices that gather information about game play and a display device. The central processor is able to manipulate the information provided by the information gathering devices in order to generate data regarding game play, such as a ranking of perceived lucky players, and the display device provides a visual display of this data. The method includes recording game data in real-time, associating the game data with active players in the game, assigning a rank to the active players based on the associated game data, presenting the ranking of active players to one or more passive players and receiving back betting wagers from the one or more passive players.
摘要:
An indirect lighting fixture for use with a series of parallel-connected lamp assemblies that consists of a mounting member of pre-selected length having a base and opposite light-directing side panels, and an insert strip for retention within the mounting member to support the series of lamp assemblies while still allowing individual lamp replacement.
摘要:
An apparatus for preventing free descent of a motor-pump unit. The motor-pump unit is mounted within a manure-containing pit for vertical sliding movement on a fixed column, and an elevating mechanism is employed for raising and lowering the pump within the pit and includes a cable having one end which is coiled on a drum while the opposite end of the cable is connected to the motor-pump unit. The weight of the motor-pump unit normally applies substantial tension to the cable. A mechanism is incorporated which is responsive to slackening of the cable and acts to arrest free descent of the motor-pump unit, as well as discontinuing operation of the cable drum mechanism.
