Abstract: Monitoring biomolecule separations by mass spectrometry is described. The mixture to be separated is introduced into a first fluidic stream, which then passes through a chromatography column. Small samples are periodically taken from the first fluidic stream as it leaves the chromatography column and injected into a first branch of a second fluidic stream. Low molecular weight components detrimental to the efficient operation of the mass spectrometer are removed by an in-line dialysis cell. A second fraction of the second fluidic stream acts as the dialysate. In a second and preferred system provided in accordance with the present teaching, the first fraction of the second fluidic stream is further split downstream of the sampling mechanism through the use of a three-way connector. Approximately 0.3 to 5 microliters per minute continues through the dialysis cell and thereafter to the electrospray emitter of the mass spectrometer.

Abstract: A method, system and device for displaying a game outcome without altering the game outcome disclosed. A gaming device conducts a wagering game. If game outcome is a Winning game outcome, the game outcome is displayed. If the game outcome fails to partially match a winning game outcome, the game outcome is likewise displayed. If the game outcome partially matches a winning game outcome, the game outcome is reordered prior to display by displaying the subset of the game outcome that matches a partial winning game outcome, then displaying the remainder of the game outcome separated from the partial winning outcome.

Abstract: A base wager is received and an initial player hand and an initial dealer hand are dealt. If the initial player hand forms a target value hand, a target hand payout is issued and the game terminated, unless the initial dealer hand is also a target value hand, resulting in a push. A final player hand is formed by receiving at least one additional playing card to the initial player hand or standing. If at least one additional card is received, a determination is made whether the final player hand, which contains more than the initial quantity of playing cards, forms a player winning hand, in which case a player winning hand payout is issued and the game terminated. A final dealer hand is formed and any remaining base wagers are resolved by comparing the final player hand to the final dealer hand and the target value.
