    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a method for efficiently producing a sulfide solid electrolyte using a liquid-phase method. [Solution to Problem] A method for producing a sulfide solid electrolyte not using a pulverizer in reacting raw materials, wherein a raw material that contains lithium sulfide, a phosphorus compound and a halogen compound, and a complexing agent are stirred in a reactor while a fluid that contains the contents in the reactor is discharged outside the reactor through a discharging port arranged in the reactor and the fluid that contains the discharged contents is returned back to the reactor through a returning port arranged in the reactor to thereby make the contents-containing fluid circulate therethrough.

  • Patent number: 7438295
    Abstract: A method of conducting a poker game is disclosed. The method may be played as a player v. house (i.e., dealer) or player v. player game and may be facilitated in an online version or on electronic gaming devices. The method comprises each participating receiving five hole cards, two of which, are used in combination with three common cards. Three sets of three common cards are dealt such that after each set is dealt, each player discards one hole card. Consequently, at the end of the game, each player has two hole cards and nine common cards are presented in a pattern, such as a 3×3 matrix. Each player combines his or her two hole cards with three common cards (e.g., a row, column or diagonal) from the 3×3 matrix to form a five-card poker hand.
