Abstract: A glove for assisting the user to catch a thrown object with fingers rather than palms, including pressure sensors installed in the palm area of typical receiver gloves (providing a voltage trigger signal used to latch an indicator LED informing the athlete of palm contact, together with flex sensors in the fingers deactivating the palm pressure sensor when at least one of the user's fingers is flexed inwardly toward the palm (preventing an inadvertent palm pressure trigger signal from locking in the LED prior to a catch attempt). This allows the athlete to run with fists closed without latching the palm pressure indicator, then to open his or her hands, thereby enabling the latch circuit for the catch.

Abstract: An apparatus for modifying the stride of a baseball batter's swing motion, including means of capturing a lower portion of a baseball batter's foot and means of elastomerically tethering the capturing means to substratum, wherein the batter's leading foot is allowed to stride in any direction essentially free of substantial distal destabilizing hindrance.

Abstract: A device for housing the frame containing the reed(s) in a caller for producing sound to attract wild game, said housing device comprising essentially planar elastomeric material defining an essentially planar cavity adapted to relatively snugly capture the frame without interfering with the sound producing characteristics of the reed(s). Said housing may include a resiliently flexible flap facilitating adapted to closely contact the user's palate.

Abstract: A high-throughput, high-end-product-recovery, lineal log bucking device featuring continuous stem travel during the cutting process by using a simple and efficient machinery design for economy of equipment and monies. The apparatus includes: (1) a saw for cutting stem into logs; and (2) apparatus for accelerating the carrier up to the speed of the stem conveyor(s), maintaining the speed during the cut, decelerating the carrier, and then returning the carrier to its starting point.

Abstract: An apparatus for throttling a vehicle equipped with an exterior throttle lever actuated near a handlebar, said throttling via actuation caused by rotation of said apparatus around the longitudinal axis of the handlebar rather than by direct personal actuation of the throttle lever, said rotational throttling apparatus including a finger-like projection extending from a rotatable sleeve near the throttle lever.
