Abstract: A method wherein lignocellulosic biomass materials are converted into combustible fuel products. In particular, the method is a continuous process, involving wet oxidation or steam explosion, for fermentatively converting such biomass materials into ethanol using a process design that permits all or part of the process water from the ethanol fermentation process to be recycled to reduce the consumption of process water. The effluent from the ethanol fermentation step may be subjected to an anaerobic fermentation step generating methane and a water effluent in which the amount of potentially inhibitory substances is at a sub-inhibitory level, which in turn permits all or part of the effluent water from the anaerobic fermentation step to be recycled into the process.

Abstract: A method for planarizing a dielectric layer on a semiconductor wafer while eliminating a mask and etch step, in accordance with the present invention includes providing a semiconductor wafer having trenches formed in a trench region of a substrate, and forming a dielectric layer on the semiconductor wafer to fill the trenches whereby up features form on flat surfaces of the wafer. An edge portion of the semiconductor wafer is polished to remove a portion of the dielectric layer about the edge portions of the semiconductor wafer. The dielectric layer is polished across the entire semiconductor wafer by employing a single non-stacked polishing pad and a slurry to planarize the trench regions and the up features in a single polish step such that a mask step and etch step for reducing the up features are eliminated from the polishing process.

Abstract: A gaming machine displays multiple game outcome presentations to one or more players playing the gaming machine. A player may initiate a new game on the gaming machine while the outcome of a previous game is being presented to the player. For a number of different games, two or more game outcomes may be presented simultaneously to the player on the gaming machine. The game outcome presentations for two or more of the games may appear to interact. However, the game outcomes determined by the gaming machine are independent of one another and do not depend on the game outcome presentation. Many different combinations of games may be played simultaneously on the gaming machine.

Abstract: An asynchronous thermal cycling protocol for nucleic acid amplification uses two primers with thermal melting temperatures different by about 10 to 30 °C. After the higher melting primer has annealed and polymerase mediated extension, the uncopied, single-stranded target sequence may be hybridized and detected by a probe. DNA probes may be cleaved by the exonuclease activity of a polymerase. The probe may be a non-cleaving analog such as PNA. When a probe is labeled with a reporter dye and a quencher selected to undergo energy transfer, e.g. FRET, fluorescence from the reporter dye may be effectively quenched when the probe is unbound. Upon hybridization of the probe to complementary target or upon cleavage while bound to target, the reporter dye is no longer quenched, resulting in a detectable amount of fluorescence. The second, lower-melting primer may be annealed and extended to generate a double-stranded nucleic acid. Amplification may be monitored in real time, including each cycle, or at the end point. The asynchronous PCR thermal cycling protocol can generate a preponderance of the PCR amplicon in single-stranded form by repetition at the end of the protocol of annealing and extension of the higher melting primer.

Abstract: A pressure exchanger for simultaneously reducing the pressure of a high pressure liquid and pressurizing a low pressure liquid. The pressure exchanger has a housing having a body portion; with end elements at opposite ends of the body portion. A rotor is in the body portion of the housing and in substantially sealing contact with the end plates. The rotor has at least one channel extending substantially longitudinally from one end of the rotor to the opposite end of the rotor with an opening at each end. The channels of the rotor are positioned in the rotor for alternate hydraulic communication with 1) high pressure liquid and 2) low pressure liquid, in order to transfer pressure between the high pressure liquid and the low pressure liquid. Because of the high pressures and the high angular velocities, this is a highly cavitation prone structure, In order to prevent cavitation, there are one or more grooves in one or both of the end plates. These grooves bleed pressure out of the channels, for example to a lower pressure channel or to a sealing volume between the end piece and the rotor.
