  • Patent number: 10058770
    Abstract: A system enables wagering method on random outcome events including Sic Bo. The system includes: a) two distinct sets of three dice in each set, one set being a set of three standard dice, and another set of special image dice with images on each face; b) a surface for moving and stopping the two distinct sets of three dice in each set; c) at least two wagering positions; d) three separate paytables, for the random outcome for the first set of dice. Second set of dice and combined two sets of dice; and e) wherein the first set of dice comprises standard six-faced dice and the second set of dice comprises a first die, a second die and a third die with each of the second set of dice having at least one face with a unique symbol that does not include numbers or art indicating 1 through six.

  • Patent number: 8444861
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating slurries of organic solids is disclosed. A slurry of organic solids is admixed with hydrogen peroxide, followed by exposure to microwave irradiation resulting in the heating of the mixture and enhanced hydrolysis of the organic solids. The treated slurry of organic solids can then be further treated in a variety of downstream processes, including solid separation, digestion and fermentation. The supernatant portion of the treated slurry of organic solids can be a source from which to recover compounds such as nutrients (for example nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, magnesium, calcium) or industrial organic compounds (such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid), or as a source of readily biodegradable organic compounds for supplementing a biological wastewater treatment process, digester or fermenter.
