The invention discloses a method and apparatus for eddy-based electronically-controlled scanning and monitoring. The apparatus comprises a plurality of probe support slant blocks, a plurality of single coil eddy detection probes, an array electronic switching conduction switch, a programmable logic controller, an eddy detection instrument, a standard detection piece, and a signal cable. On the basis of an electromagnet nondestructive detection principle, the plurality of single coil eddy detection probes are arranged in a line in a pushed domino arrangement mode and are fixed on a detection surface of a detected steel rail. Because of the utilization of an array electronic switching conduction switch technology, only the single-channel eddy detection instrument is needed to receive an eddy signal without the need of an expensive array eddy detection instrument, thereby substantially reducing the detection cost. Meanwhile, eddy detection coils employ a circular-bead square winding mode and the detection covering surfaces of the multiple eddy detection coils are intersected and superposed with each other, thereby eliminating the detection blind area. Therefore, the provided apparatus is suitable for in-use real-time monitoring work of steel rails like a railway rail and a sliding rail of a port crane and the like in the industries of railway, port, bridge, and building and the like.

Embodiments described herein are directed to an electronic version of domino that adds elements of wagering. A player makes a wager for dominoes to be dealt. A minimum of one domino through a maximum of five dominoes can be wagered on and dealt. Once the dominoes are dealt, the player may “flip” the dominoes by touching them. A player can flip the dominoes online in the starting row, so that dominoes dealt in the next row/level have the best chance of creating a chain. Once satisfied with the dominoes, the player keeps the dominoes to play them. A new row of dominoes is then dealt. Any number of pips on these dominoes that match the bottom dominoes number of pips awards the player a payout and another domino or set of dominoes is dealt to the next row/level. This sequence of play continues until there are no more matching dominoes or the player has hit the maximum payout level. Payouts increase with the size of the domino chain. There is also a bonus game that is awarded whenever a certain type of domino is dealt.

The invention discloses a method of a beside-pillar double-side partial-filling ascending re-mining overhead coal seam. In the invention, on the basis of determining overhead coal seam mining feasibility and detecting distribution situations of a coal pillar group and a mined area group of a reamer-pillar remnant mining area, a beside-pillar double-side partial-filling method is employed for successively side-protecting the coal pillar group in the underlie reamer-pillar remnant mining area of the overhead coal seam and gradually mining the overhead coal resources. By means of the method, a beside-pillar double-side filling body formed in the mined area group can not only achieve a side-protecting effect on the reamer-pillar coal pillar group but also form a common bearing body therewith, thereby further reducing degree of stress concentration and creep deformation of the coal pillar group. The method can enhance long-term stability, can avoid local instantaneous unstability or domino-like unstable damage and finally can ensure safe mining of the overhead coal seam of the reamer-pillar remnant mining area.

An automatic method for assigning the clock phases on a domino datapath embedding static gates includes replacing domino cells on non-critical paths by a static equivalent cell, delaying the clock arrival on domino gates driven by static signals, ensuring that critical data never waits for the clock in the domino pipeline, ensuring that a domino data never goes to precharge, and therefore is lost before it is consumed, ensuring that the domino datapath operates at any speed below the maximum operating speed, ensuring that domino signals leaving the design through primary outputs of a static block are latched to prevent the precharge to overwrite the evaluated results, providing an optimal solution in terms of performance, area and power, defining some constraints that are checked and enforced by the downstream tools in order to guaranty the proper functionality of the design.

According to the step type structure filling method for second mining of the coal pillars of the remnant mining areas, the recovery ratio of the coal resources can be increased, the economic benefits can be improved for an enterprise, and dynamic disasters including instantaneous instability, domino instability and the like of pillar type filling bodies in mining fields under the multi-factor coupling effect can also be avoided, so that the long-term stability of the pillar type filling bodies of the mining fields after second mining of the remnant coal is guaranteed.

A Mexican Train Dominoes game includes a game board that defines a central recess corresponding to the train station hub of the game. The recess includes a platform on which an “engine” domino tile is placed to commence the game. The platform can be depressed to activate a sound generation component that is operable to produce simulated train sounds. The game board can include a circuit board that carries a resiliently depressible switch that is operably coupled to the platform. The switch can support the platform in its normal position and can restore the platform to that normal position after the “engine” domino and platform have been depressed during game play.

A matching-based competitive game is used to reinforce the association, correlation, translation, or equation of values. The values are indicia on the face of the tiles, where each tile has at least two different indicia. These values may be cross-language vocabulary words, geographic entities, arithmetic valuations, or chemical symbols, as examples. The classic game of dominoes provides a single tile for every combination of two values in the value set, including the identity element. Because the mathematical increase in combinations, and thus the size of the tile set, becomes prohibitively large for a reasonably-sized value set, the tile set is reduced, resulting in a group of smaller tile sets, having essentially the same statistical matching capability of a normal domino set. The winner(s) of the game are defined as the first player(s) who complete a predetermined number of matches of the indicia values on their tiles.
