Abstract: Included herein is a pocket for a lacrosse head. The lacrosse head includes a scoop, a throat, first and second sides, a front and a back. The pocket comprises a mesh material preformed to a desired shape so that when the pocket is placed on a stick, the location of the deepest or bulbous portion will be at an optimal location and a channel may also be formed. The mesh material is preformed using a mold and/or a heat source. A package is provided to maintain the shape of the pocket during shipment and inventory.
Abstract: Included herein is a system and method for controlling a velocity vector of an overhead crane. A motor is attached to the crane and is positioned to move the overhead crane and has an output vector including a rotational direction and a rotational speed. A variable frequency drive is positioned to transfer voltage and current at a frequency to the motor. A processing unit converts the output vector to an amount of voltage and current at a given frequency and can instruct the variable frequency drive to send a frequency to the motor at a frequency substantially equal to the frequency at which the motor is presently rotating. This creates a speed match for the motor reducing spikes during operation of the motor and substantially eliminates open circuit decay. A hydraulic brake operates in connection with the processing unit and the variable frequency drive to slow the crane without driving the motor into the brake.

Abstract: An electric flatiron which substantially eliminates the scorching or burning of fabric material to be ironed. The electric flatiron comprises a housing having a handle attached thereto, a metallic sole plate in electrical contact with electric leads, and spring urged glide assemblies secured to the housing and up to 2.5 centimeters or one inch adapted to extend below the lower surface of the sole plate when there is no or little pressure upon the handle of the housing but moves upwardly in alignment with the lower surface of the sole plate when pressure is placed upon the handle of the housing during the ironing process.
