  • Patent number: 7533887
    Abstract: A table card game is provided in which the players at the table play essentially a common card game with the dealer handling the deal essentially as if all players are playing a common game, while handling bets and resolution of winners within two or more groups of players among the players at the table. The table card game can be played with teams. Such teams are made up of players in different groups, playing at a same table, or at different tables. The scoring for a team can then be as a function of the number of teammate players having won as individual players. A broadcast of the card game may contain the information about the play of the game within each group, as well as the progress of the game at the table as a whole. In the case of teams, the broadcast can contain the relevant team information about each team's performance.

  • Patent number: 6670582
    Abstract: Construction of a micro-thermocouple sensor designed to be incorporated in a mass flow meter for the circulation of gaseous fluids, includes of the following steps: depositing an insulating layer of several microns by electron gun on the sensor tube, then depositing the components of the thermocouple, by the electron gun, through the nickel masks, at a residual pressure lower than 10−6 torr, at a thickness of several thousand Angstroms, annealing of the capillary tube for one hour, then the mounting of a heating element on the capillary tube treated in this manner.

  • Patent number: 6354150
    Abstract: The sensor (7) for a mass flow meter (1) including a capillary tube (6) for circulation of fluid in parallel with the principal circuit of the fluid circulation. The sensor includes heating mechanisms (20) of the capillary tube (6) and mechanisms for measuring the temperature (22, 23), upstream and downstream from this heating mechanism (20), and separate from the heating mechanism. The mechanisms for measuring the temperature (22, 23) are two resistors manufactured by deposition in an external manner on the sensor tube (6), one of them (22) upstream from the heating mechanism (20), the other (23) downstream from the heating mechanism. The manufacturing process includes stages of deposition by an electron gun, firstly of a layer of zirconia (21) of several microns, on the tube (6) made of stainless steel, then of the sensitive components (27) and the contacts (31, 32) of the measurement resistors (22, 23), made of platinum, and defined by masks of nickel.
