Abstract: There is provided a Czochralski puller installation for Si monocrystalline ingot growth, including: a Czochralski puller; a SiOx dust filter system; and a vacuum pump connected downstream of said SiOx dust filter system, the SiOx dust filter system including at least a first filtration branch having a first SiOx filter unit, and at least a second filtration branch having a second SiOx filter unit, the first filtration branch and the second filtration branch being disposed in parallel and connected to a common first connection point upstream of first and second upstream valves and to a common second connection point downstream of first and second downstream valves, the first and the second filtration branches being connected through a bypass branch having a needle valve for pressure equilibration between the first and the second filtration branches.

Abstract: A system, game table, and method for allowing wagers to be made on a game, and particularly dice games using multiple sets of dice, and awarding a payout as a function of an outcome of the game is provided. The dice game may be played on a physical table using physical apparatuses or may be implemented using one or more computer based gaming machines. The dice game may be played over a network, on line and/or using one or more mobile devices. The dice game may be played using a stand-alone gaming machine. The dice game may be played with one or more players.

Abstract: A method and device for creating digital optical images of bindings of books or other items in order to determine whether the books are in the correct order, such as on a bookshelf. The digital images are analyzed by a computer to determine whether the unique identifier of the book indicates the books is out of order relative to one or more next adjacent books bearing unique identifiers. If a book is out of order, an augmented reality image is produced with the digital image on the display of the device to indicate which books is out of order, and which books are in order. The user of the system can correct the disorder and re-scan to confirm order. The system also retains information about which books were scanned, which books were adjacent each scanned book, and whether the books were in or out of order.
