Title: Table game apparatus
Inventor: YEOWELL DAVID JOHN
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 1996-09-12
Abstract: The game board has indentations for receiving play-pieces in the form of golf balls. Each ball is printed with an emblem on one side, and a number on the other. For phase 1 of play, the balls are all set emblem side down, and players turn over the balls to match the emblems. When all the balls have been matched, and all the balls turned over, play moves to phase 2. Now, the emblems and numbers are used to select a pack of question card, and the ball is turned over if the question is answered correctly. Thus, playing and completing one phase sets up the pieces directly for playing the other phase, whereby the transition is chore-free and immediate. Scoring takes place in both phases.

Abstract: Light components are stripped from a multicomponent liquid feed mixture in a core type plate-fin heat exchanger by heating and partially vaporizing the mixture during downward flow in one of a plurality of multichannel flow passageways in the exchanger. The vapor thus formed flows upward and promotes vaporization of dissolved light components from the liquid to yield a liquid product substantially free of lighter components. The passageways are disposed in indirect heat exchange with one or more additional groups of passageways, and heat for partial vaporization of the downward-flowing liquid feed mixture is provided by indirect heat exchange with a condensing process stream. Alternatively, this heat is provided by a bottoms stream recovered from distillation of the stripped liquid product withdrawn from the core type plate-fin heat exchanger.
