Abstract: A game apparatus includes at least one processor with memory to store and process instructions. At least one visual display device displays a generated image of a playing surface according to the instructions processed by the at least one processor, the generated image adjusted by the at least one processor according to the instructions which include rules of a game based on Baccarat in which a wager can be placed on either a Player hand or a Banker hand to win or tie between the Player hand and Banker and further including at least one area on the generated image for each player of the game to place an ante wager on a first card dealt and displayed in the Player hand, in order to allow the player the option of proceeding or withdrawing based on the first card dealt and displayed in the Player hand.

Abstract: A table game apparatus in which a number of players can participate and comprising a display device having an updateable electronic display of a track, a table including a playing surface and an electronic card reader positioned relative to the table and a set of playing cards divided into a number of suits wherein in use said playing cards are drawn sequentially, then read by the electronic card reader to control the display on the display device.

In particular, the composition comprises 40-70 wt % sweetener, 25-30 wt % cocoa butter substitute (CBS) and/or cocoa butter equivalent (CBE), 4-10 wt % non-fat cocoa solids, milk solids and from 0-2 wt % cocoa butter, wherein at least 80 wt % of the milk solids are constituted by whey.

Abstract: A game in which a number of players can participate comprising a playing surface and number of playing pieces, the playing surface having a track comprising a number of lanes in a one to one correspondence with the playing pieces, each playing piece being associated with one of the lanes, each lane comprising an equal number of spaces extending from a start to a finish space, in use the playing pieces being moveable sequentially along the spaces or their respective lane from start to finish, the game apparatus further comprising a set of playing tokens divided into a number of subsets also in a one to one correspondence with the number of playing pieces, each playing piece being associated with one of the subsets of playing tokens, the playing surface further comprising a set of stations representing an outcome of the passage of at least one of the playing pieces from its start to finish on the track in accordance with the disposing of a token, the stations being associated with reward tokens which can be pla

Abstract: A sugar coating is formed on a solution multiplicity of items (5) such as confectionery, using a suspension of crystal nuclei in a solution of sugar. This suspension is created by ultrasonic irradiation of a supersaturated solution. For example a saturated solution is cooled, and stored in a tank (16) connected to a recirculation (10) loop (18) containing a pump (24) and an ultrasonic irradiation module (26). Treated suspension (20) is withdrawn to coat items (11), and new supersaturated solution (14) is introduced. The sugar solution is sufficiently viscous to suppress crystal growth.

Abstract: A liquid metal electromagnetic pump 17 operates by passing an electric current through the liquid metal in a direction transverse to an applied magnetic field and the longitudinal axis of the liquid metal flow pipe. The direction of the pump is reversible by reversing the electric current. It is used to transfer batches of contaminated solder from a reservoir 12 in a hot air solder leveller 11 to a treatment tank (TA or TB). Contamination of the solder is removed by a cleaning process and the liquid solder returned to the reservoir 12 after heating to the required process temperature.
