Abstract: A deer attractant comprising an air-permeable container holding hair taken from the tarsal gland region of a deer. Instead of using deer tissue or urine that may spoil relatively quickly, only the hair from the tarsal gland region are collected. The collected hair is placed in an air-permeable container. In use, the container is preferably hung on a tree or other elevated structure to maximize the emanation of the odor to attract deer or from a slowly moving vehicle to create a scent trail.

Abstract: Headgear combined with binoculars, a headset, and a fan. The binoculars are mounted on the brim of the headgear using a hinge so the they can be placed above the brim while not in use. The headset contains earphones preferably for each ear. The earphones are independently rotatable so that they may be placed out of the way while not in use and may be adjusted both horizontally and vertically. On top of the crown of the headgear a fan is mounted to blow on the user to keep him cool.

Abstract: A tuning peg incorporates an internal planetary gear reduction mechanism so that a stringed instrument, such as the cello, violin or viola, can be easily and precisely tuned. In order to change the pitch of a string, the head of each peg is rotated which in turn rotates the carrier that holds the string. Turning the head drives a toothed input shaft that runs the entire length of peg. The input shaft engages and rotates a plurality of planetary gears that engage a ring gear that is affixed to the peg box. Thus, rotation of the head rotates the carrier that changes the tension on the string, but the number of turns of the head required to rotate the carrier once is a multiple of one so that the carrier can be rotated more easily and the instrument can be tuned more precisely.
