Abstract: A method is disclosed for playing a CASINO dice game with a set of six identical dice in which each die has a different symbol on each face. The symbol may be one of the letters of the same six lettered word CASINO or one of six different colors. A scoring system assigns a predetermined point value to individual symbols or combined symbols. A player must reach a threshold level of 1000 points and surrender his turn before rolling nothing of value for that player's points to count, failing which he loses his turn and all points accumulated during that turn. The players then continue to play until one player ends the game by reaching 10,000 points. That player may choose to surrender his turn and establish his final score as the winning high score or continue his turn to establish an even higher score, at the risk of losing his turn, his points for that turn, and the established winning score if he rolls nothing of value.

Abstract: A swing training and exercise apparatus used by a swinger for practicing and exercising swing motions. The swing training apparatus has a tubular, generally rectangular framework (10). A first handle (30) is on the inboard end (11a) of the upper member 11 of the framework (10), and an end of a second handle (40) is attached at an obtuse angle to framework (10) between the horizontal upper member (11) and a vertical inboard member (13) of framework (10). The area enclosed by the framework (10) is covered by an air resistant material (20) attached thereto for providing drag that opposes the swing motion. The amount of drag is dependent on the material chosen, the percentage of the enclosed area covered by air resistant material (20), and the aspect ratio of the plane of the framework (10) and material (20) to the path of the swing enabling the swinger to practice and build up muscles and muscle memory needed to effect a good, proper swing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for protectively stabilizing and securing a intravenous device to a patient's body member. The method and apparatus comprise the use of a tubular sleeve made of stretchable fabric having two open ends. The intravenous device is attached to a patient's particular body member. The sleeve is stretched to encircle and elastically retain to the body member, and the sleeve has a plurality of spacings for ventilating the body member. The intravenous device is thereby secured between the sleeve fabric and the body member. The stretchable fabric is an elastic, soft, resilient material through which the body member is easily insertable while allowing the body member to easily and fully move therein.

Abstract: A negation circuit (28) generates a two's complement negation by inverting only those bits of an incoming number which have a level of significance greater than the significance level at which a transition bit resides. The transition bit and all bits of the incoming number having a significance level less than the transition bit are reproduced at the output (32) of the negation circuit (28). The transition bit is the least significant bit in the incoming number to exhibit a logic one. A negation selector circuit (40) selectively overrides the negation so that a negation is generated only when a select negation signal (34) is active. When a transition detected input signal (38) is active, all bits of the incoming number are inverted- A transition detected output signal (36) provides a signal which activates to indicate that the circuit (28) has detected a transition bit. The negation circuit (28) may be coupled to an adder (66) to form a direct subtractor or a direct adder/subtractor (64).

Abstract: A golf putter having a CORIAN putterhead [10] and a handle [110] affixed thereto. The putterhead is a three layer [20, 30, 40 ] hollow, [31], ear-shaped methacrylate sandwich fixedly encapsulating a variably sized lead shot weight filler [60, 70] in the hollow. Putting alignment inlays [50] are affixed in the top surface. The sandwich has a flat putting face [80] and a curvo-linear shaped body [90] the top edge of which is slanted [120]. The different colored CORIAN layers and alignment indicators add to the aesthetics of the putterhead. The CORIAN putting face [80] reduces the tendency of the golf ball to skid when it is contacted. The sandwich is made by adhering a hollowed [31] middle layer [30] to a flat end layer [20], inserting the lead shot [60] and resin filler [70], closing with a flat end layer [40 ] and shaping. The sandwich is then provided with the alignment inlays [50 ], final shaped [120], finished to a high luster and provided with a handle [110].
