A game table is provided in which a dealer can suppress an unauthorized use of a chip without taking time and effort to confirm a validity of a chip. The game table includes a plurality of betting areas for placing chips, a reading device that reads identification information that specifies the chip placed on the betting area, and a computer device that updates management information including a validity of the chip based on the identification information read from the chip, in which the computer device executes a functions of managing a progress of a game and updating the management information so as to validate a status of the chip placed on the betting area that won the game, invalidating a status of the other chips during a dividend period in which a dividend amount according to a result of the game is paid.

To provide a technology related to a gaming table with an antenna detection range defined more appropriately. The gaming table includes a plurality of antennas, a placement board, and a control unit. Each of the plurality of antennas is provided at such a position that a detection range is located above a placement surface of the placement board. Each of the plurality of antennas is provided such that a portion of a first antenna overlaps a portion of a second antenna. The control unit exerts control to identify a tip on the placement board and not to identify the same tip repeatedly.

A method of making a catalytic converter for an automotive internal combustion engine comprises a cylindrical honeycomb catalyst carrier made of a ceramic and carrying a catalytic material. The catalyst carrier is encased within a cylindrical container upon being axially supported at its opposite end faces between oppositely disposed annular metal caps through cushioning materials. The metal caps are fixedly secured to the inner peripheral surface of the container by plug welding. In production of the catalytic converter, the plug welding is made in a state in which the metal caps are being biased to the catalyst carrier at a predetermined pressure by a pair of pressing jigs which respectively abut the metal caps.

Method of producing a catalytic converter

A manifold converter comprises a housing constructed of two metal shells welded at their mating edges; a catalyzer carrier unit installed in the housing in a manner to define therein upstream and downstream portions with respect to the catalyzer carrier unit; and a sealing mat disposed between the catalyzer carrier unit and the housing to achieve a hermetical sealing therebetween. A binding structure is further employed for binding a given portion of the housing where the sealing mat is located. With this binding structure, undesired permanent expansion of the housing caused by the inevitable thermal expansion is suppressed or at least minimized.
