Abstract: An overlay device enabling evaluation of a mammography film image and a method thereof wherein a transparent overlay, graphically marked with a two-dimensional scaled grid coordinate system, is placed over and aligned with either a mediolateral oblique or craniocaudal mammography film image, thereby enabling specific and reproducible evaluation of a mammography film image by assisting in positioning evaluation by providing the identification of all structures in two planes, enabling training guidance by providing AEC centerline for symmetry evaluation, and enabling image evaluation by providing AEC sensor positions markings specific for each manufacturer's system; thus, allowing complete evaluation of positioning and imaging technique.

Abstract: An improved broadhead arrowhead is disclosed including spiral-shaped, curving or twisting, blades of increasing width along a leading edge thereof, and an insert including a bearing element which allows for broadhead rotation independent of the arrow shaft about the longitudinal axis of the arrow shaft during flight. The curved blades and bearing element of the present invention allow the broadhead to continue rotating after contacting the target.

Abstract: Methods and systems for organizing cosmetics are disclosed. One cosmetic case system includes a body having a series of compartments that lock cosmetic containers into the compartment for ease of storage and use. In one set of embodiments, the containers are removable from the cosmetic case. In other embodiments, the containers are an integral part of the cosmetic case. The compartments include ridges that aid in locking the cosmetic containers into the compartments. Several of these cosmetic case bodies can be alternatively stacked so that storage capacity is increased. The cosmetic case can include a mirror on a surface of the body. The case can also include a hinged surface for additional storage.

Abstract: A disposable urinal device and method suitable for installation on a toilet preventing overspray of urine and for containing said urine within the confines of the toilet. Said device comprises a frame having top and bottom portions attaching respectively to the toilet seat and the toilet bowl and an attachable sheet of material. The sheet attaches to said frame and may be readily removed therefrom for disposal.

Abstract: A frictional-type game calling apparatus, wherein a striking plate is adapted to be frictionally contacted by a striker for reproducing the mating, gathering, and feeding calls of wild turkeys. The present apparatus and method allows for easy, one-handed operation, wherein the striker is held in constant contact with the striking plate, thereby allowing unrestricted use of the game call in any physical orientation.

Abstract: In a docking apparatus for coupling a first apparatus consisting of a handler or prober and a second apparatus consisting of a testing head for electronic components, at least one locking unit is provided having an axial insertion opening for inserting a locking pin. In the area of the insertion opening, a plurality of balls are arranged, between which the locking pin is insertable. Furthermore, a ball clamping sleeve is provided, which by means of an axial displacement causes a radial movement of the balls and therefore fixes the locking pin.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for storing and accessing personal floatation devices and/or other articles, wherein the device permits the elevated storage of personal floatation devices and/or other articles aboard an aquatic vessel, thus reducing deck clutter and/or untidiness, and preserving structural and functional integrity of the personal floatation devices via their removal from long-term subjection to undesirably moist, oily and/or dirty deck surface areas and/or corners.

Abstract: A monolithic fuel cell is described which is made up of fuel passages and oxidizer passages, in the form of a monolithic block. The monolith is made from triplex layers of anode-electrolyte-cathode and a multifunctional substrate that provides interconnects between triplex layers, provides for gas diffusion and allows waste products to flow out through it to be extracted. Additionally, it provides current take-off where desired. The monolith may be a cube, a rectangular prism or a solid cylinder, made of layers of different materials with different design patterns. Also detailed is a low cost, high-speed fabrication method for manufacture of a monolithic block of fuel cells, using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing to send instructions to a process management controller. The controller selects materials and defines their preparation and then sends these materials to robotic fabrication stations, which are also programmed by the controller.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to games, and more specifically to an apparatus and method for a racing game wherein a player attempts to complete a target number of laps and/or to accumulate a winning point value, and wherein general play and outcome are governed by events having substantially pre-determined odds of outcome, including movement directed by essentially random number generation leading to direct and indirect action commands and controls via track position and cards and resulting player interaction.

Abstract: In a guiding apparatus for positionally accurate docking of a testing head for electronic components to a handler or prober, a guiding pin is provided, arranged to be displaceable in a direction normal to its longitudinal direction on an attachment block attached on a testing head or handler/prober. Within the attachment block, a taper pin is provided longitudinally displaceable and carrying a taper tip on its end facing the guiding pin. The guiding pin has a centering recess on its side facing the taper pin. The taper tip can be brought into and out of engagement with the centering recess, wherein by inserting the taper tip into the centering recess a predetermined position of the guiding pin with respect to the attachment block, and therefore with respect to that device, which carries the guiding pin, can be achieved.
