A lottery game card for playing a Sudoku-themed game is disclosed. The lottery game card includes a plurality of squares arranged in rows and columns, each square having a symbol. Selected squares are covered with a removable material. The lottery game card also includes a plurality of prize indicators, each prize indicator being associated with a predefined pattern of squares. Upon removing of covered squares by a player, if symbols in the plurality of squares match a predefined pattern, the player wins a prize associated with the predefined pattern.

A system and method for automatically mounting a pellicle assembly on a photomask are disclosed. The method includes loading a photomask into a mounting apparatus and loading a pellicle assembly into a back plate of the mounting apparatus opposite the photomask. The back plate includes at least one load cell that measures a force applied by the mounting apparatus to the photomask and the pellicle assembly. The measured force associated with the at least one load cell is received and the pellicle assembly is mounted on the photomask to create a photomask assembly if the measured force is greater than or approximately equal to a minimum force.

An apparatus and method provides the capability of mirroring storage from a primary system to a mirrored system in a way that uses parallelism in the mirrored system to maximize the efficiency of writing data to the mirrored storage for operations that do not conflict while serializing operations that do conflict. The mirroring of the present invention is “logical mirroring”, which does not require identical disk drives, and which supports mirroring between geographically remote locations to protect against catastrophic site failure. Parallelism is achieved in the mirrored system by dividing the virtual address space into multiple ranges, and by assigning a group of tasks to each range. When an operation is received on the mirrored system, the virtual address range that the operation affects is determined, and the operation is then delegated to the task group that corresponds to the affected virtual address range. By dividing the virtual address space into ranges, tasks in different ranges (i.e., in different task groups) may execute in parallel without any threat of conflict, and even tasks within the same range may execute in parallel if they operate in different portions of the range.

Methods, systems, and techniques for dual-mode communication are provided. Example embodiments provide an enhanced mobile device that includes a low latency transceiver and a high latency transceiver. In some cases, the enhanced mobile device is operated by a customer and configured to interact with a point of service computing system via both the low and high latency transceivers to facilitate a customer interaction at a point of service location. For example, the enhanced mobile device may transmit via its high latency transceiver an indication that it is en route to the point of service location. Upon arrival at the point of service location, the enhanced mobile device may transmit via its low latency transceiver an indication that the customer has arrived at the point of service location. The point of service computing system may then provide a service based on the information received from the enhanced mobile device.

The plasma-assisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) fabrication of a p-type group III-nitride material is described. For example, a method of fabricating a p-type group III-nitride material includes generating a nitrogen-based plasma. A nitrogen-containing species from the nitrogen-based plasma is reacted with a group III precursor and a p-type dopant precursor in a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) chamber. A group III-nitride layer including p-type dopants is then formed above a substrate.

A method for in-situ cleaning of a deposition system is disclosed. The method includes providing a deposition system with portions of the deposition system deposited with at least a group III element or a compound of a group III element. Halogen containing fluid is introduced into the deposition system. The halogen containing fluid is permitted to react with the group III element to form a halide. The halide in solid state is converted to a gaseous state. The halide in gaseous state is purged out of the deposition system.

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to methods and apparatus for removing unwanted deposition build-up from one more interior surfaces of a substrate processing chamber after a substrate is processed in a chamber to form, for example, Group III-V materials by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) deposition processes and/or hydride vapor phase epitaxial (HVPE) deposition processes. In one embodiment, a method for removing unwanted deposition build-up from one or more interior surfaces of a substrate processing chamber is provided. The method comprises depositing one or more Group III containing layers over a substrate disposed in the substrate processing chamber, transferring the substrate out of the substrate processing chamber, and pulsing a halogen containing gas into the substrate processing chamber to remove at least a portion of the unwanted deposition build-up from one or more interior surfaces of the substrate processing chamber.
