Abstract: The invention proposes a method or establishing a synchronous data communication over the internet or an intranet. The packetized data contain various classes of routing and data protocol elements thereby creating processing tables. The communication is started with an initiating TCP/IP address. An initiator sends in return a handshake to proceed and thereby establishes a synchronous internet conduit for data transport.

Abstract: The problem of jammed slot machine tokens at the entry to the slot machine collection box is alleviated by providing an outer tube which can telescope about a concentrically disposed fixed, inner tube in response to the release of a device locking the two tubes together to provide sufficient clearance between the termini of the tubes and the collection box to allow the tokens to be freed from their jammed condition and permit ready removal of the filled collection box and insertion of an empty collection box.
