Abstract: The disclosed training device is an apparatus where in one form a user stands upon the upper surface of the platform, grasps the handle of a golf club, and swings the golf club and attached carriage laterally through an arc along the base rail. Thus, the head of the putter would swing back and forth in a correct angle and arc to establish and reinforce a correct muscle memory to the user. This formalized repletion would establish and/or reinforce the correct form and swinging of the golf club 36. This muscle memory would be maintained when the golf club is not attached to the putting training device.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure relates to a golf swing training device, comprises three interoperating portions, the first portion of the device being an active area, the second being a collapsible frame, and the third being a golf club-like device and carriage. The collapsible base frame allows the active area to be repositioned from a fully upright orientation, to a partially lowered orientation, and continue to a significantly lowered orientation, to a fully lowered (collapsed) orientation. In the fully lowered orientation, the device has a much smaller profile and can therefore be more easily transported and stored.

Abstract: A golf swing training aid adapted to have a first rail and a second rail whereby a carriage system is slidably attached thereto and the pitch of the club is controlled with respect to the position of the carriage assembly in the course of a swing. In one form, the rotation of the club about the shaft (the roll) is controlled in conjunction with the pitch of the club.

Abstract: Electronics packages having a primary metallic material, such as a titanium metallic material, metallurgically bonded to one or more secondary regions within the primary metallic material, the composite regions having desirable thermal conductivity properties and having a coefficient of thermal expansion (“CTE”) that generally matches the CTE of the primary metallic material are provided. Electronics packages comprising titanium having heat sinks comprising a metal matrix material such as aluminum silicon carbide or a composite metallic structure such as titanium aluminide/copper, are described. Methods for manufacturing electronics packages having a composite structure are also disclosed.

Abstract: Composite materials are composed of a primary metallic base material, such as a titanium metallic material, metallurgically bonded to one or more secondary materials having desirable thermal conductivity properties and having a coefficient of thermal expansion (“CTE”) that generally matches the CTE of the primary metallic material. An exemplary composite material is composed of a titanium primary material metallurgically bonded to a secondary metal matrix composite material having a high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum silicon carbide. Methods for manufacturing such composite materials are disclosed.

Abstract: Novel compositions containing at least one biologically active component derived from peat or similar composition, methods for their preparation and therapeutic uses for a variety of diseases, injuries, and conditions, including wound healing, pain, itch, inflammation, abnormal cell proliferation, or infections caused by fungal, bacterial, rickettsial or viral agents, psoriasis, allergic and other dermatitis, pruritis, eczema, actinic keratosis and similar conditions. In addition, the compositions can be used as diuretics, antiarrhythmics, and cardiac-stimulating agents, as well as for the treatment of mammalian diseases and disorders, including multiple drug resistance, cancers, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, wound healing, fungal disorders, and other inflammatory disorders. The compositions are derivable from peat or peat-related substances and may alternatively be synthetically produced.

Abstract: The system dispenses, unloads and discharges film cartridges while unloaded film strips are cut, identified, spliced end-to-end and wound into a roll--all automatically. The system alternatively provides semi-automatic or manual handling of individual cartridges or film strips and is especially suited for unloading and splicing so-called "110" cartridge film.

Abstract: The splicer includes an edge guide assembly and a splicing assembly -- both being adjustable to guide and splice film of different widths. Film strips of selectable width are cut, spliced end-to-end, identified, and wound into a roll.

Abstract: A film cutter attachment includes one or more tape dispensing units, each of which dispenses automatically a continuous strip of pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer tape which is applied progressively to the back of a continuous strip of developed photographic film prints as the latter is drawn intermittently into a conventional film cutter. Each tape strip is trained about a roller on the end of a pivotally movable arm which controls tension in the tape strip and causes additional tape to be dispensed. Th film cutter cuts the print and tape strips after they are joined together adhesively into individual prints with adhesive transfer tape backing. The tape backing includes a cover ply which when peeled off leaves the strip adhesive adhered to the print and exposed for mounting the print.

Abstract: An adhesive tape applicator includes one or more tape dispensing units, of which each dispenses a continuous strip of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape which is applied progressively to the back of a continuous strip of developed photographic film prints such that it does not become detached from the back of the print strip when the two are wound spirally into a roll. This roll thereafter can be unwound and severed, using conventional paper cutters, into individual prints with adhesive tape backing. The tape backing includes a cover ply which when peeled off leaves the strip adhesive exposed for mounting the print.

Abstract: A film cutter attachment includes one or more tape dispensing units, each of which dispenses automatically a continuous strip of pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer tape which is applied progressively to the back of a continuous strip of developed photographic film prints as the latter is drawn intermittantly into a conventional film cutter. Each tape strip is trained about a roller on the end of a pivotally movable arm which controls tension in the tape strip and causes additional tape to be dispensed. The film cutter cuts the print and tape strips after they are joined together adhesively into individual prints with adhesive transfer tape backing.
