Abstract: A blackjack variation that can be played in a casino. A player is dealt three initial cards and the player can then choose two out of the three cards as the player's initial hand and the dealer is dealt two cards. The blackjack game can then proceed normally using the chosen two cards. The player must also place a side bet based on a poker hand comprising the three initial cards and the dealer's upcard.

Abstract: A surface material provides an in-mold surface coating of a high cosmetic quality and includes a layer of a surface resin material and a resin conducting layer. The resin conducting layer comprises a venting structure for venting intralaminar and interlaminar gases during processing of the surface material. The resin conducting layer further includes a resin retention structure for keeping the resin material in contact with the mold surface.

Abstract: A method for separating contaminants from a aqueous source containing contaminants. In one embodiment, the method involves the use of a high powdered oxidant dissolved within the aqueous system. The gas is dissolved within a reservoir in the aqueous solution and the pressure within the reservoir is controllable. This allows maximum contact of the oxidizing dissolved gas with the contaminant material. Once oxidized, the outlet of the reservoir is adapted to permit hydraulic cavitation. The net effect of the cavitation is to induce a foam formation which foam transports a floc into a separate phase from the aqueous solution. In this manner, the process is effectively a dissolved oxidizing gas mass transfer process. In another embodiment, the process may be augmented by electrocoagulation. This involves the use of an electric cell which is disposed within the reservoir containing the oxidant material.
