Description This application claims priority to and the benefit of PCT Patent Application No. PCT/IN2007/000515, filed on Oct. 29, 2007(published as WO2008/062477), the PCT application itself relying for priority on Indian Patent Application No. 1798/MUM/2006, filed on 30 Oct. 2006, issued as Indian Patent No. 227,846, the entire contents of both applications being are incorporated herein by reference. 1. Field of Invention This invention relates to Automatic Shuffling and Dealing of Playing Cards in a variety of card games. 2. Background of Invention with Regard to the Drawback Associated with Known Art Card games like Rummy, Bridge, Poker and their numerous variations are played by a group of persons. In these games cards are shuffled and distributed, also popularly called as dealt, to each player in a pre-decided manner. The distribution of cards is done from a shuffled stack of one or more decks. Generally shuffling and distribution of cards is done manually by one of the players or by another person deployed for the purpose. There are some devices already available for automatic shuffling. The cards either shuffled manually or using the automatic machines are distributed manually to card players as per the rule of the game Some of the devices for automatic shuffling are patented mostly in United States of America. These automatic machines are used for shuffling of one or more decks of cards to form a stack of randomly shuffled cards. This shuffled stack of cards is transferred to a container popularly known as dealing shoe. The randomly shuffled cards are manually distributed to players with the help of dealing shoe . . . . Recently patented automatic shuffling devices provide computerized random shuffling forming a single or multiple stacks of cards. The randomly shuffled cards from the single stack or the multiple stacks of cards are manually distributed to players with or without the help of dealing shoe. This practice is commonly followed in casinos for playing Poker. Viewing and playing card games on-line on computer screen is also quite common. However there is no physical handling of cards. For physical handling of cards in games like Bridge, Rummy there are no automatic devices in common use. In these games 13 or more cards are distributed to each player. Rummy is played by as many as 8-10 players. Thus about 130 or more cards are required to be distributed in every game. Manual shuffling and distributing cards in large numbers is cumbersome, monotonous and error prone. Besides, manual distribution leaves room for manipulations and unfair practices. For smooth and pleasant play of card games the players expect to overcome the following deficiencies in existing practices:
All existing devices provide random shuffling but no device provides automatic dispensing of cards. An automatic device to overcome the above deficiencies and incorporating the features as below is the object of this invention.
The invented Playing cards shuffling and dealing machine is devised for automatic operation. It incorporates a conventional card shuffling arrangement, specially developed card dispensing mechanism, card sensing arrangement and collection of cards in separable, pocketed trays. The electronic control system offers flexibility to preprogram and select any combination of dispensing the cards. Dealing cards to any number of players, in desired sequence for any popular or special card games can be pre-programmed. By using the compact dispensing unit along with conventional handling devices any pattern of placing the cards can be formed to suit the convenience of the players. The device can be operated optionally from a remote control. The invented device is useful in homes, club houses, casinos, entertainment centers, fun-fairs and at picnic spots. The machine comprises a number of modules put together as shown in The card further passes over the rotating roller (15) and strikes an inclined stopper (14). The stopper is positioned above the roller and offers resistance to the card and pushes its edge against the roller. The bottom card is driven out from the gap between roller and stopper. The card is driven by the roller further and falls on the conveying chute (8). The inclined chute carries the card by gravity and falls into the pocket which is in front of the chute. Before falling into the pocket the card is sensed by the sensor (10). The rotation of roller is then stopped and the next bottommost card is prevented from moving further. The signal generated on sensing the card initiates next action of moving the dealing unit to next position. The cycle of pushing out bottommost card and dropping it into the pocket at pre-decided position keeps repeating till completion of selected program. The standard configuration of the machine is such that the aggregate of units (1), (2), (3) and unit (4) rotate around a vertical axis. The unit (4) is attached to the bottom of unit (3) which houses a drive motor (22) with gearing for rotation. The aggregate of units (1), (2), (3) and (4) is supported in radial and axial bearings. The bearing housing is attached to the stationary base (19) having a round top plate. There are two semicircular detachable trays (12) having 4 pockets on each. These trays are placed around the machine base. The rotating unit rotates in steps of 45 degrees and stops when the card dropping chute is above one of the 8 pockets. One card is dropped at required pocket every time as per selected program. The circuitry comprises a programmable micro controller and related components. The control actuators comprising switches for power supply on/off, program selection, shuffling, start/pause/restart are placed on the side cover of unit (3). The dealing unit alone, with or without conventional shuffling unit, can be arranged in many configurations. Some of the convenient arrangements are described below and shown in the drawings. Alternatively the arm movement can be done manually simply by pushing or pulling the handle connected to the arm. End stopper can be provided to restrict unnecessary movements. Intermediate positions can be visually monitored to drop the cards just in front of the players and/or latched at required positions. A push button near the handle to be used to initiate automatic dispensing of cards. Normal operation of the machine requires only touching the cycle start button once. Cycle on is indicated by an audio beep and green LED switched on. Following preparations are required to set the machine initially.
The machine has a pause switch to stop and restart the cycle if required. When an abnormal card gets stuck or quantity of cards is insufficient the machine automatically goes in pause mode giving audio and visual alarm indicating error as above. A switch is provided to shuffle the cards conventionally. Shuffling can be done any number of times before starting the dealing cycle. A card holder is provided to take out left over cards. Pre-shuffled cards can also be inserted into the machine with the help of the card holder Cycle start, pause and restart can be optionally done from a remote control. The playing cards shuffling and dealing machine has following user friendly features.

30 minutes is not worth 365 days
Due to popular demand, it was asked to change the language of the petition.
The purpose of this petition is to raise awareness about the (un)appropriateness of one of the OSCE cases. One of the arguments is that we were tested on things we were not formally taught in class. If an individual knew the correct answer, it would likely be due to community pharmacy experience. Other arguments can be brought to the creator of the petition.
In support of two of our classmates, this petition will be submitted to either Mr Louizos or the Dean's Office only if there is a general agreement to do so.
Hopefully this attenuated blurb will attract more signatures.
Disclaimer: The creator of this petition would like to remain anonymous amongst us. Whether this is the right or wrong thing to do is still unknown. This views expressed in this petition do not necessarily reflect those of its creator.

WE SHOULD ALL GRADUATE 2011. thanx :)

Re:Online Advertising Response (369 comments)
Ah, well, it seems they're doing that in the mobile market, anyway.
They're actually doing something about this because some smartphone games for children do location tracking, and nobody knows why.
According to the FTC, among its more troubling findings is that many children's apps "shared certain information with third parties -- such as device ID, geolocation, or phone number -- without disclosing that fact to parents. Further, a number of apps contained interactive features -- such as advertising, the ability to make in-app purchases, and links to social media -- without disclosing these features to parents prior to download."

10 July 2008
The 'patient' has undergone hundreds of operations, has an unpredicatable medical condition but has every confidence in their doctor - a Cardiff University medical student who has never seen a patient like this before!
The new Cardiff University Simulation Centre, opened by the Welsh Assembly Government Minister for Health and Social Services, Mrs Edwina Hart and sponsored by Welsh company Flexicare, includes an interactive human patient simulator.
The simulator allows School of Medicine students to learn, rehearse and perfect procedures in treating sick patients, anaesthesia and intensive care. The training adds to medical students involvement with patients from day one, where they learn the importance of communication to the patient and the role of medicine in society.
Professor Judith Hall, School of Medicine, said: "This is an important development for undergraduate and postgraduate education at Cardiff.
"The simulator provides an excellent reflection of a really sick patient and means that there is no risk to patients. Medical students can practise their management of both routine and rare life-threatening events."
Teaching is video recorded allowing students to review and develop their skills. At the launch the Minister met with fourth year University medical students who demonstrated how they use the simulator to learn how to manage a patient with a major haemorrhage.
Mrs Hart said: "In addition to the huge advances that have been made in treatments and facilities, developments such as this one at Cardiff University show how the teaching of healthcare staff has changed over time.
"The increasing complexity of healthcare along with appreciation of patient's rights means that it is no longer acceptable to 'practise' on patients and simulators will play a vital role in the teaching of all healthcare staff in the future.
"This is also an example of how healthcare and industry can work together to provide such facilities. The example that Flexicare shows in its sponsorship of this simulator is welcomed and is part of what we should be striving for - a closer engagement between the NHS and industry."
Flexicare, sponsors of the new theatre, is a Welsh manufacturer and supplier of medical devices to the healthcare industry and medical organisations.
Hash Poormand, Business Development Director Flexicare, said: "Flexicare is proud to support Cardiff University and the ongoing education and development of new techniques. As a Welsh based manufacturer and supplier of medical devices we are committed to working with Cardiff University in creating one of the most advanced simulation facilities in the UK."

Sound Playback Unreliable In Windows
Hello, been reading these forums for a while, first time posting.
I have an issue with a custom built PC (Should be listed on my profile). I have reason to believe that this issue is with my software and windows, not with hardware (See below). Relevant parts are: Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V LK Sound Card: Asus Xonar DG I have been battling with this thing for several weeks now and I keep having similar issues. I will start up my machine, usually hear basic windows sounds, but then some applications will be unable to play back sound. For example, I might start Spotify to listen to music, and then open Mumble, and be unable to hear anyone speaking on Mumble (However, they will still be able to hear me). Regardless of what is going on application wise, opening the Xonar control panel and running the audio test always produces the sound in both sides of my headphones flawlessly. I should note that I have disabled the onboard sound in my motherboard's BIOS, and that this problem happens both with the version of the Xonar drivers available from Asus's website, as well as with the version which came on the pre-packaged CD. This issue persists when the sound card is disabled and uninstalled, the onboard sound re-enabled, and realtek drivers reinstalled, which makes me think that the sound card is fine, but that something is wrong with my motherboard or windows installation. When I open the windows sound management and go into the "speakers" of my Asus Xonar card, and click test, I get "This device is in use by another application". Similar errors happen for the "speaker" output on the onboard audio. The following are all things which I have tried, none of which have been successful. Checking/unchecking the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" boxes Confirming the proper sound channels to be default for both communication and general Disabling the systems "HD Audio Device" and uninstalling Realtek sound drivers while using Xonar DG Uninstalling all Xonar DG drivers while using onboard sound Updating BIOS Updating Windows Restarting Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder services (These will sometimes temporarily "reset") the problem, as will restarting the system. Disabling startup applications Disabling nVidia's HD Audio for HDMI Disabling all inputs and outputs except the ones I am going to use And of course, as microsoft would suggest, running the troubleshooter and making sure my headphones are plugged in Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! --NS |
My System Specs |
11 Jun 2013 | #2 |
Uninstall any HD Audio Codec (device) that is listed in the Device Manager. The only sound devices that should be listed is the Xonar and your NVIDIA HDMI audio.
The HD Audio Codec is the Windows installed generic sound drivers, which are not needed and may conflict with audio devices. The device is in use by another application suggests some program is using the sound. |
My System Specs |
11 Jun 2013 | #3 |
Asus Xonar DG and NVIDIA HDMI are the only things listed under sound. Under System Devices there is a High Definition Audio Controller. Uninstalling this just has it get reinstalled the next time I start up the machine though. Could that be the culprit?
My System Specs |
11 Jun 2013 | #4 |
The High Definition Audio Controller in the System Devices is OK. I have that in mine (and the sound is working OK).
Does the Task Manager show any programs or processes that could possiibly be what is causing the message about in use by another application? |
My System Specs |
11 Jun 2013 | #5 |
Hard to say, I currently have it set so that nothing can take exclusive control of the sound. I'm not sure how I should go about testing if things could be monopolizing the sound, but I'll list anything that seems potentially suspicious:
VCDDaemon (For Virtual CloneDrive, a bit of software for mounting ISO's, haven't had trouble with this before). Steam.exe (Steam Client bootstrapper) SpotifyWebHelper.exe (Like it says) nvvsvc.exe (NVidia driver helper service) When I open the volume mixer, all I see is "Sound" and "System Sounds" other than master volume for speakers. Thanks for your help! |
My System Specs |
12 Jun 2013 | #6 |
Spotify and Steam are two that are suspicious. Try temporarily disabling them, one at a time, and see if it makes any difference.

Man won $725K with Seattle win
Watching replacement officials botch the end of the infamous Packers-Seahawks Monday night game two weeks ago might have been torturous for Green Bay fans, but it was glorious for a Canadian man, who won nearly three quarter of a million dollars thanks to the result.
Gino DiFelice, who lives in Ontario, won $725,274 on a $5 wager when the Seahawks won, giving him a perfect 15-for-15 ledger on his sports betting ticket. Canadian citizens are allowed to bet on sports events in wagers run by Canada's provincial governments.
The Seahawks, of course, won the game when Golden Tate was ruled to have caught a Hail Mary touchdown pass, even though replays seemed to show that the Packers' M.D. Jennings had full possession of the ball before Tate got his hands on it. The ending of the game might have helped to end the lockout of the NFL's regular officials because of the uproar that followed.
Making his win even more improbable, DiFelice told reporters that his winning ticket was made out with the help of his 12-year-old daughter, Mia. He said he regularly submits three tickets, one with games he picks, one with the help of his daughter and another with the aid of his 10-year-old son, Marco.
"The winner was the ticket my daughter consulted me on. The funniest part is, the ticket I made all of the picks myself, I only got four right," he said, according to the QMI press agency of Canada.
His winnings are the third-highest ever awarded in the Pro-Line game. If the Packers had won the game, he would have had to split the winnings with five other people.
DiFelice, knowing he had all 14 picks right on the ticket after Sunday's games, said he was too nervous to watch most of the game.
"I watched the last 1:48 and that's about it," he said, according to QMI Agency, adding that he watched the game with his wife and nephew. "I couldn't watch the rest of the game. I had the ticket sealed in an envelope and nobody knew until after the game until I told them."
He said after the game was over, he excitedly ripped open the envelope, presumably very carefully to avoid tearing his ticket.
"When the play was under review I couldn't believe what was happening. When the call was made, I went nuts. I ripped open the envelope to show them. They couldn't believe it."

By 5 a.m., I hear the buzz of flies outside my tent. I know the minute I slip into the morning air, they'll begin to bite. My first decision of the day will be whether to wear my head net or bathe in bug dope and palm the swirling masses aside as I fire up a camp stove to boil water for breakfast, which consists of instant oatmeal and a cup of freeze-dried java.
The second decision will be about my choice of clothing for the day. I decide to layer, starting with a bathing suit, in the event that the opportunity to swim presents itself, ending with long pants that convert into shorts by unzipping at the knee. And always, hiking boots for running and climbing over rough terrain as well as to protect from venomous, ankle-biting snakes.
Holed up in Australia's hottest town for a night, I am covering the Land Rover G4 Challenge. By 7 a.m., the thermometer will read 85, and by noon, it'll spike near 95. The good news? This is the cool season--and my outback chariot is a 2003 Range Rover. This Tangiers Orange luxo-mobile, kitted with a few add-ons for the bush, offers the best of both worlds. It has a comfortable ride (on tarmac), with oodles of room for food and goods, including bikes, kayaks, and the array of helmets, wetsuits, and other high-tech gear that G4 requires--and great air-conditioning. It also has stout 4x4 capabilities.
I'm riding along with Nancy Olson from Arlington, Virginia, a public information officer with the U.S. Marine Corps, and Paul McCarthy, a stonemason from Ireland. They are two of 16 multisport athletes chosen from a pool of thousands of applicants hailing from around the globe. They were then selected as two of the finalists from 16 nations culled from a cadre of hundreds that competed in national selections, with running, swimming, kayaking, and winching Land Rover vehicles out of deep mud as part of the competition. The next stop was international selections, held at Eastnor Castle in England, where the field was narrowed to a single competitor and a backup.
The old-style castle, complete with turrets and a moat, is home to Land Rover's Driving Experience and boasts 5000 acres and 27 miles of off-road trails. It was an ideal locale for the demanding week-long assessment sessions, which included GPS and navigation, mountain biking, climbing, kayaking, and off-road driving evaluations.

From the Editor: Please welcome Julie Feickert, Cultures for Health Founder and Cultured Kitchen Keeper.
Our kids are pretty restricted on what they are able to eat. I've learned over the last few years that two of my best investments have been an electric ice cream maker (the frozen bowl is kept in the freezer) and silicone popsicle molds. These two tools allow our kids to have frozen treats I can feel good about.
Here are a couple of our favorites:

text: Well I am finally introducing some intentional exercise into my journey (which has been sorely lacking!). I went out and bought a new swimsuit, and wore it swimming laps last night. For the first time since I can remember, I stood on the pool deck and didn't feel the need to hide behind my towel (which fits around me easily now too, which is nice). It felt wonderful! As for the swimming, that felt great too, but I am so tired and out of shape!!! Oh well - it will only get better, right?? :)
