Abstract: The present invention relates to a word game utilizing playing pieces designed to represent the keys of a telephone. The object of the game is to form words from these playing pieces. The present invention is different from other word games, in that the players can use all the playing pieces associated with the game and all the playing pieces are face-up. When playing previous word games, a player could only use the playing pieces dealt them or picked blindly from a box. The remaining playing pieces in the game remained hidden. This limited choice of letters in other games could be frustrating to a player. The present invention solves this dilemma, by allowing the players to use all the playing pieces and further, all the playing pieces are placed face-up for all the players to see and use when playing the game.

Abstract: A method of operating a life support system for an aircraft, the system including a plurality of oxygen supply apparatus, each of which in use is operable to supply product gas, which may be pure oxygen or oxygen enriched gas, to a breathing gas supply apparatus, at least one of the oxygen supply apparatus being a main oxygen supply apparatus and the remainder of the oxygen supply apparatus being auxiliary oxygen supply apparatus, the main oxygen supply apparatus being operable independently of the auxiliary oxygen supply apparatus, characterized in that the method includes operating the main oxygen supply apparatus and supplying product gas to each of the auxiliary oxygen supply apparatus.

Abstract: An improved system or and method of connecting a hardware modeling element to the pin electronics circuitry of a hardware modeling system, with the improved system having circuitry and structures that will allow it to be connected to a hardware modeling system that is powered, circuitry to indicate to the pin electronics circuitry that the improved system is connected to it, circuitry to identify the hardware modeling element supported by the improved system to the hardware modeling system, circuitry to indicate to the hardware modeling system when the hardware modeling element is initialized so evaluation of it by the hardware modeling system can commence, circuitry to generate selectable supply voltages for the powering the hardware modeling element, and a hardware modeling element connector that will allow the connection of a family of hardware modeling elements to the same connector without the need to change the connector.

Abstract: An assortment of extrusion-puffed dough shapes of varying configurations is produced from a single extruding die assembly by mounting said assembly on a cooker extruder expander adapted to produce a gelatinized cereal dough mass and discharge same as individual moieties sequentially through a plurality of orifices in a backup zone and an extruding zone, the flow rates of said moieties being varied in passage in relationship to the flow characteristics of respective shaping dies by coordinating flow characteristics in respective backup zones so as to cause individual dough masses upon issuance from the face of the assorted extruding die orifices to have extrudates move at comparable linear speed whereby said moieties can be consecutively subdivided by a rotating knife assembly and uniformly puffed, flow coordination being evenly modulated by a substantial buffering zone in a dead space in said cooker.
