The intent of this paper is to apply the following theorem in several particular instances:

Theorem 1. For any finite ring of q elements, let {} be a collection of s subsets of , each containing hi (i = 1, 2, . . . , s) members, and let denote the set of all differences d′ — d″ with d′ and d″ from including d′ = d″. Furthermore, suppose that
