The present invention relates to the application of a coating to a pipeline, FPS or to pipe stock from which a pipeline is fabricated. The battery positive electrode material is a conductive chemical compound represented by the general formula AgxNiyO2. Also provided are gaming devices or machines having display panels adapted to display content and scan input through set display and read regions. The apparatus is equipped with a variety of treatment stations which are adapted to treat the raw anode while it is held in a horizontal orientation.
