Abstract: A single player game combining chance and strategy comprised of a field of play comprised of 100 positions in 10 rows and 10 columns, a set of 75 markers comprised of 6 subsets, the markers in each subset being coded to indicate permissible placements on the positions in the field, the subset sets being comprised of a first subset of 30 markers, a second subset of 30 markers, a third subset of 5 markers, a fourth subset of 5 markers, a fifth subset of 4 markers and a sixth subset of 1 marker along with means for random selection, marker by marker, as each individually selected marker is placed in one of its permissible positions on the field, the game being concluded when all of the markers have been placed in the field or when there is no permissible placement in the field of the last marker selected.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for normally illuminating a monitored area with light applied at a relatively low intensity, and increasing the illumination automatically when intrusion into the monitored area occurs. A flood lamp normally operates at reduced power to illuminate the area, and a lens focuses the light on a photocell. Intrusion into the monitored area creates a change in the amount of light received by the photocell and produces a signal which is amplified and used to initiate a two minute timer. The two minute timer output initiates a 1.5 minute timer which causes the lamp to operate at full power during its 1.5 minute timing cycle. The lamp then reverts to its low power operating mode, and the additional one half minute timing cycle of the two minute timer provides adequate time for dissipation of transient responses which occur when the lamp is dimmed. A regulator circuit prevents unwanted variations in illumination as a result of spurious variations in the power to the floodlamp.

Abstract: This invention is for a process for production of flour from Jerusalem artichoke tubers. The tubers are reduced to particles having an average surface to volume ratio of not less than about 25 cm.sup.2 to 1 cm.sup.3 and the particles are exposed to water acidified to a pH of not greater than about 4. Thereafter the particles are subjected to a series of pressings at increasing pressures ending in a final pressing at a pressure of not less than about 6 atmospheres, gauge wherein between each pressing the pressure is relaxed and the particles loosened. The particles are washed with water at least once after exposure to the acidified water and prior to the final pressing. After the final pressing the particles are dried at a temperature not exceeding about 200.degree. F. to a mositure content not greater than about 13%. The dried particles are then ground to a flour.

Abstract: This invention is for a non-fogging mirror. Heated water flowing through a pipe section such as a shower arm is used to prevent fogging; the pipe section has an outlet and an inlet located in its surface. Means located within the pipe section induce the flow of water into the outlet or the inlet or both. The outlet and the inlet are connected to a conduit which is joined in heat-conducting relationship to the back of a reflecting surface.

Abstract: This invention is for a receptacle comprising a combined handbag and belt pouch having concealed support means attached to an inner surface of said receptacle. The support means are adapted to the insertion of a carrying strap and are located at a position, measured from the uppermost portion of said receptacle, which is between one-half and one-quarter of the vertical distance between the uppermost portion of said receptacle and the lowest portion of said receptacle, and, for a method for making such receptacle.

Abstract: The present invention is a new and distinct cultivar of peony plant, a hybrid between three species, two shrubby and one herbaceous species, of the genus Paeonia, interspecific hybrid (Paeonia lactiflora.times.(P. lutea.times.P. suffruticosa), combination of species now known as Itoh Hybrids. The present cultivar's uniqueness is characterized by its outstanding yellow color with a superior tree peony flower type on a singularly healthy herbaceous plant, its excellent hardiness of flower buds and consequent reliability of flowering in relatively extreme climates, and, by its distinctive foliage and plant habit.
