Abstract: An example of a flow cell includes a substrate and a reaction area defined in or over the substrate. The reaction area includes two angularly offset and non-perpendicular surfaces relative to a planar surface of the substrate, a polymeric hydrogel positioned over at least a portion of each of the two angularly offset and non-perpendicular surfaces; a first primer set attached to the polymeric hydrogel that is positioned over the portion of a first of the two angularly offset and non-perpendicular surfaces; and a second primer set attached to the polymeric hydrogel that is positioned over the portion of a second of the two angularly offset and non-perpendicular surfaces, wherein the first and second primer sets are orthogonal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a means and method for playing a card game while perceiving a sporting event, such as a baseball game. According to the present invention, each card game player is dealt a certain number of cards at the beginning of the card game and before a play in the sporting event being perceived. Before the play begins, each card game player selects and plays a card from the cards he has been dealt with the description of a result which the card game player thinks has the best chance of duplicating the result of the play in the sporting event being perceived. If the outcome of the play corresponds with the description of the result depicted on the card, the player is awarded points. After all card game players have played their cards, the play is completed, and points, if any, have been assessed, each card game player is dealt a new card before the next play.
