Abstract: In a game suitable for casino play a two card hand is dealt to each player, who may then draw at least one additional card after placing a wager. The winning card hand is determined according to the following rules: the point value of each natural number card is its face value and all figure cards and jokers have a value of 1/2 point; any hand adding up to an integer plus 1/2 point wins over any hand adding up to an integer only value; as between hands adding up to an integer plus 1/2 point, the hand with the higher integer value wins; and all hands adding up to an integer value tie with each other.

Abstract: An apparatus for consolidating sheets (13) of continuous graphite fiber in a thermoplastic matrix resin uses a roller (10) in conjunction with a heating surface (16) and a vacuum bag (12). A tack-welded stack of composite sheets (13) or prepreg is assembled onto a frame support structure (27) and placed into the vacuum bag (12) as an assembly (28) which is placed on a heated surface (16) whereby its temperature is elevated above the melting point of the matrix resin in the composite sheets (13). The roller (10) rolls over the bag (12) with the sheets (13) therein whereby any remaining air and gas between the sheets (13) is forced out ahead of the roller (10). After the roller (10) has passed, atmospheric pressure on the vacuum bag (12) is sufficient to prevent spontaneous delamination of the hot laminated panel formed by the sheets (13). The assembly (28) may then be moved to a cooling table (26) to complete the laminate consolidation process.
