A game method of play that combines features of the game of poker with features from a variety of competitive sporting events. A deck of 56 cards is utilized containing four suits and fourteen rank cards for each suit (the rank of “1” for each suit is added to a standard deck of 52 cards). Indicated on the face of each card is a scoring value associated with a particular sporting event competition. The players carry out the play of the game in a manner similar to that of poker, playing for a poker outcome using the poker values, as well as a scoring outcome using the sports scoring indicia on the cards accumulated in the player's hand. Depending on the embodiment of the game being played, winning can occur in three ways: by holding the best poker hand value; by holding the best scoring hand value; or by having the best cumulative scoring outcome over multiple hands. In this manner, players bet during the play of the game on both the anticipated value of their poker hand and the anticipated value of the sporting event scoring values reflected on the cards they retain. Score cards and rank value reference cards facilitate the play of the game and the process of betting on the outcome.

Reference equipment including a reference card and a reference reader is provided for testing electronic payment devices such as cards and card readers. The reference equipment is designed to simulate the external behavior of a variety of payment devices that are currently or expected to be deployed in electronic payment systems. Further, the reference equipment is configured to subject devices under test to extreme behaviors which are expected in field use or which are representative of a large class of payment devices. The external behaviors may relate to functional parameters, for example, power consumption, resonance frequency, Q-factor, modulation depth, noise, and timing. Exemplary reference devices are configured to exhibit representative external behavior, which is an empirically determined average behavior of the product devices in the field. Use of the reference equipment for product specification compliance testing will enhance the interoperability of product payment devices.

An offset tape measuring tool marked with standard English measurements includes integrated indicia for quick determination of distance between bends for a given offset depth and offset angle when installing conduit. Additional indicia may be included for the measurement of the shrinkage of the conduit with respect to the specified offset depths and angles. The integrated invention may be part of a standard tape measure strip to provide a convenient multi-purpose tool. Although the tool eliminates any external calculations or table reference typically necessary when bending conduit to clear an obstacle, it still provides an optional reference card for unique bends.

The present invention puts forward a reference card for calibrating receiving sensitivity of non-contact reading-writing tools. One key performance index of a non-contact reading-writing tool is the sensitivity of receiving response signals sent by a non-contact card. As the modulation depth curve of the applicable non-contact card is determined, the non-contact card cannot be used for the sensitivity calibration of the reading-writing tool. The reference card of the present invention can change the magnitude of modulation load at different magnetic field intensities through a switch, so as to send modulation signals at different modulation depths to the non-contact tool. The present invention can be very conveniently used to calibrate the receiving sensitivity of the non-contact reading-writing tools.
