Abstract: An in-vehicle monitoring and intervention system for detecting whether a driver in a vehicle is drowsy by monitoring a plurality of physiological signals of the driver is provided. The in-vehicle monitoring and intervention system includes at least a processor and an apparatus, the apparatus can be integrated into a seat belt or attached thereto as a discrete hardware apparatus, which includes at least an ECG sensor, a respiratory sensor, an acceleration sensor, a filtering system, and an intervention module. The filtering system further comprises one or more filters for suppressing noise and reducing motion artifacts. The processor is configured to compare the detected physiological signals with the signals stored in a learning module of the in-vehicle monitoring and intervention system for determining the drowsiness state. If the driver is determined to be drowsy, a warning signal is outputted to alert the driver.

Abstract: A game of skill and chance in which a plurality of decks of 34 cards comprising 10 numeric pairs of yellow designed cards, 10-10 through 1-1, and 7 numeric pairs of blue designed cards, 7-7 through 1-1, is used. One card in the deck is designated a wild card. Two cards are given special significance when present as a pair. This pair is the highest ranking hand. The next highest ranking hand is a yellow pair of 10s followed by yellow pairs of 9s through 1s, blue pairs of 7s through 1s, and then numeric combinations of any color. The highest permitted numeric combination is 9. Each player is dealt a set of 2 cards with the option of receiving one additional card. Any hand containing 3 cards can not be valued as a pair, that is, it will always be a numeric combination. The hand of each player is compared, in turn, to the corresponding hands of a banker/player.

Abstract: A game of skill and chance in which a deck of 34 cards comprising 10 numeric pairs of yellow designed cards, 10--10 through 1--1, and 7 numeric pairs of blue designed cards, 7--7 through 1--1, is used. The highest ranking hand is a specially marked non-numeric yellow pair, followed by yellow numeric pairs 10--10 through 1--1, blue pairs 7--7 through 1--1, and numeric combinations of any color. Each player is dealt a set of 4 cards which the player arranges into subsets of 2 cards each. These hands or subsets are denoted as the front and back hands respectively. The subsets of each player are compared, in turn, front hand to front hand and back hand to back hand, to the corresponding hands of a banker/player. The combined outcome of the comparisons determines the outcome of the round of play as between that player and the banker/player.
