Abstract: A game is played in rounds of battles with a plurality of dice, each die representing a character involved in the game. Each die has at least one face side and a plurality of roll sides. Each face side presents information about the character, and each roll side includes information regarding the round of the game and actions which the character represented by that die may take during a particular round. Each character has a number of life points associated with it, the life points representing the amount of damage that the character can endure before it is killed during an attack. The action taken by a player may include attacking an opponent's character in an attempt to reduce the life points of that character or healing a character by increasing its life points. Numerous other actions are possible, including casting spells to affect the status of an opponent's character or alter other attributes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved system and method for connecting a first piece of plumbing, such as but not limited to a valve, to a second piece of plumbing. The first piece of plumbing has a male threaded fitting formed about an opening. The second piece of plumbing has an open end with a connecting member attached. The connecting member has a flange, and behind the flange is a flange nut having female threading extending over the flange. The pieces of plumbing are connected as the flange nut screwably engages the male threaded fitting.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of electrochemical analysis of an analyte in a sample. The methods include providing a sample comprising an analyte, and introducing the sample into a capillary tube containing electrophoretic running buffer and a reactant. According to the methods of the invention, one or both of the analyte and the reactant is electrically charged. Chemical contact between analyte and reactant induced by their relative electrophoretic mobility results in the breaking or formation of a covalent bond of one of the analyte or the reactant to produce a detectable product. The methods also include the steps of imposing along the length of the capillary tube an electric current for a time sufficient to bring into chemical contact within the tube analyte and reactant so as to allow formation of product, and detecting the product.
