Abstract: A method of playing a lottery game is disclosed in which winning numbers are selected by the outcome of one or more sporting events such as horse races. A lottery ticket may be printed which has three rows and three columns of randomly generated numbers. The winning numbers, as determined by the sporting event, are also placed in a three-by-three grid and compared to each player's grid of random numbers. A pattern is formed by comparing the winning numbers to the player's numbers and payment is made to each player in accordance with the number of complete rows, columns and diagonals in each player's pattern.

Abstract: A cargo reclaiming apparatus that may be fitted to a ship for emptying bulk solid material from the holds or to a warehouse for emptying such material from storage bins. The apparatus has a gantry movable across the top of the storage containers, a rotatable structure mounted to the gantry, and a boom supported by and extending from the rotatable structure at a selectable angle. The boom has a digging wheel at its outer end for feeding material to the inner surface of a belt encircling the boom. The material passes through the rotatable structure and gantry and is fed to a collection location. The belt on the boom may carry material from the container even when the outer end of the boom is positioned above the end of the boom connected to the rotatable structure.

Abstract: An articulated boom mechanism is utilized for transporting material between a first position and a selectable second position. The boom mechanism is comprised of two boom members. One boom member has its one end mounted by a universal-type connection to a support base and its other end connected to an articulation member. The other boom member has its one end connected to the articulation member. Bulk solid material entering the one end of one of the boom members is transported on a conveyor belt through that boom member and then on a second conveyor belt through the other of the boom members, and then empties from the other end of the other of the boom members. Bulk solid material is thereby transported by the boom mechanism through a path defined by the selective positioning of the one boom member relative to the support base, and also by the relative orientation between the two boom members.
