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: A tool member for a multitool which is configured to strip wire. The tool member has first and second members which in one form are pivotally attached at a common axis on the handle portion of a multitool where the tool member has an extended orientation and can be retracted into the channel region of the tool member.
Abstract: A folding knife having a finger guard extension mounted to the handle portion that is operatively configured to be positioned in a stored position when the knife is in a closed orientation. The finger guard is adapted to be withdrawn from the handle in an extended position when the blade is in an open position where in one form the finger guard is adapted to open the blade when a force is applied thereto.
Abstract: An engine block is disclosed in one embodiment having a cylinder shape bore, which forms the outside wall surface of a cylindrical air chamber. Radially outwards from the cylindrical air chamber there is an annular shape combustion chamber, which has a circular inner wall surface, circular outer wall surface, closed annular shaped top surface, and an annular shaped open end opposite of the top surface. The bottom end of the circular inner wall surface of the annular shape combustion chamber and the bottom end of the outside wall surface of the cylindrical air chamber defines an annular shape surface. This surface fits inside the annular shape air chamber in the piston assembly. In one embodiment, in the lower part of the circular inner wall surface of the annular shape combustion chamber there is a circular groove for an oil scraper ring of conventional design.
Abstract: A portable tire bead breaker comprising a plurality of elements which can be disassembled to form a compact kit. Includes a base over which a tire and rim may be placed, a support member, and a lever arm. Also included is a plunger member configured to engage the tire and break the bead thereon. To break a tire bead, the elements are assembled and a force is extended upon the lever arm, engaging the plunger member upon the tire and creating sufficient force against the tire in opposition to the rim to disassociate therefrom. The tire bead breaker can be disassembled into a compact unit for storage and transportation.
Abstract: A milk pasteurizing unit having a force fluid convection chamber which is adapted to hold a milk product mass therein. There is an ejection nozzle which is in communication with a pressurization device such as a pump which forcefully ejects a nozzle over a separator plate which separates the milk product mass from a direct heat source such as a combustion chamber. The force convection of the milk prevents scalding of the same and allows for a more rapid heat transfer from the heat source to the milk product mass.
Abstract: A rotary motion device having piston valves that define an open region that are adapted to engage a power tooth of the power ring as the power ring rotates around the piston valves and the piston valves rotate about their own separate axis that is fixed with respect to the base housing of the device. The power ring is provided with radially inward and outward ports in one form that are adapted to communicate with radially inward and outward ports of a static member of the device. The ports are utilized to compress and expand a gas and in one form are utilized for an internal combustion chamber to create an internal combustion rotary motion device.
Abstract: A hybrid wind turbine assembly and method capable of providing a total firm power output. There is a wind power section which delivers non-firm power from the wind turbine to a generator section. Then there is also an auxiliary power section which is capable of providing firm power to the same generator section. This can operate in three operating modes, namely an only wind power mode, an only auxiliary power mode, and a combined wind power and auxiliary power mode.
Abstract: A paintball marking system comprising a bolt assembly and a spool assembly which are operationally arranged to move in conjunction with one another, whereby the changing of pressure of an actuating chamber of the spool assembly repositions the piston to allow communication of a dump chamber having compressed gas therein be released to the bolt assembly for accelerating a paintball.
Abstract: An anchor system for a structure which experiences periodic buoyancy situations. The anchor system has a member connected at one end to a foundation and the other end to the buoyant structure. The member restricts movement of the buoyant structure in the transverse and longitudinal directions. The system allows the buoyant structure to move vertically between an upper and lower limit.
Abstract: A liquid manure distribution system where the manure is directed to an interior conduit within a distribution assembly or an outer rotating cylindrical member with tines attached thereto, creating crevice-like openings in the earth or a field and an internal timing member provides a slot for distribution of liquid manure at timed intervals when the slot is in positional alignment with the fluid passage openings as they are positioned downwardly adjacent to the formed crevice-like opening within the field.
Abstract: Advanced treatment method and system of ethanolamine-containing wastewater are disclosed, which perform physicochemical and biological treatment processes. The method regenerates cation exchange resin that captures ethanolamine discharged from a nuclear power plant or a thermal power station, concentrates the ethanolamine-containing wastewater to reduce the volume of the wastewater, and then treats the highly concentrated ethanolamine-containing wastewater through biological decomposition and denitrification processes. The system for treating ethanolamine-containing wastewater performs the physicochemical process (ion-exchange and resin regenerations) where the waster is concentrated, and then applies the biological process to the small amount of wastewater highly concentrated. The physicochemical process is composed of exchanging ions and eluting/concentrating ethanolamine using sodium hydroxide.

Abstract: A vertical rotisserie open flame oven having a central flame post dispersing aesthetically pleasing flames and a secondary heater positioned outside the path of rotation of the food items. The oven has a central chamber area where the heat transfer to the food items is executed in a desirable manner to properly cook the food items without burning the surface thereof.

The finger guard is adapted to be withdrawn from the handle in an extended position when the blade is in an open position.
Abstract: A musical instrument that having a shaker that is adapted to house a plurality of impact particles. The instrument employs a spring mass system where the mean mass of the impact particles provide a force due to the accelerations as the impact the lower portion of the inner surface of the shaker member. Where the force of impact of the impact particles causes a compression of a shaker spring which provides an opposite force upon the impact particles while the spring is expanding and hence raises the mean mass of the impact particles away from the lower portion of the inner surface of the shaker. Thereby, the impact particles repeat the cycle of falling upon the lower surface and a damping oscillation motion is created. Where the impacts of the impact particles causes a desirable musical sound.
Abstract: A multi-tool attachment having a configuration that is well-suited for incising material and performing various operations where two incising members are positioned on a main portion of the tool and the cutting-edge surfaces are in close engagement with one another at an interface point where the two blades meet in forceful engagement with one another.
