The Interlock System is R. Talsorian Games' proprietary role-playing system. It is one of the direct parents of the Fuzion system (the other is the Hero System). The Interlock System is a "skill-based" system — characters are created by choosing skills for them, and by advancing those skills individually; rather than by choosing character class packages. The Interlock System is used primarily in the Cyberpunk 2020 and Mekton role-playing games; a variant of the Interlock System is used in Teenagers from Outer Space and the Japanese Gundam Senki RPG. Stats and skills are both rated on a scale of 0-10 with 0 representing no ability/no training and 10 representing the maximum ability possible for a human being. A typical skill roll will range from 12-20 for most tasks, so a skill 10 + stat 10 will succeed at virtually any task barring a critical mishap, while a skill 0 + stat 2 (minimum statistic level for a human character) will fail at any but the very simplest task, and even then will succeed only on a critical success.

Min-maxing is the practice of playing a role-playing game for the intent of creating the best character by means of minimizing undesired traits and maximizing desired ones. ...
The safety interlocksystem of claim 1 further characterized in that a solid state circuit component is associated with the electrical component and being connected to the output of said gating elements and being operable in response to said enabling signal to thereby permit operation of said electrical component.
The safety interlocksystem of claim 7 further characterized in that a solid state circuit component is associated with the elctrical components and is connected to the output of said latches, and being operable in response to said enabling signal to thereby permit operation of said electrical component.
The safety interlocksystem A of the present invention generally comprises a small casing 10, which may be mounted in a convenient location within the vehicle, as, for example, on the dashboard thereof.
The interlocksystem includes an actuation system which responds to the nozzle resting on the fillpipe opening at a predetermined point along the discharge spout of the nozzle and a valve located at the outlet of the vent tube from the automatic shut-off system.
The interlocksystem is biased in such a manner that the valve remains closed at all times unless the nozzle is resting in the fillpipe in the proper manner.
An interlock valve actuation system is provided on the discharge spout to sense the weight of the nozzle resting on the bottom of the fillpipe opening, which places the interlock valve in a closed position except when the presence of the nozzle resting in the fillpipe opening is sensed.
