Abstract: A paintball hopper, comprising, a container defining a bottom paintball guide and a paintball moving assembly, adapted to move paintballs in a path determined by the bottom paintball guide. In addition a chute leading from the paintball guide is so disposed that paintballs may enter the chute from the guide without undergoing a substantial change in direction.

Abstract: A method of presenting sales information to an automobile customer on an automobile having a window that may be slid vertically within a window frame. The method uses an informational slip and a slip holder sized to accept the information slip. The slip holder includes a clip defines a downwardly facing open channel and a tongue extending downwardly from the front wall. Also, a sheet of resiliently deformable material is attached to the tongue and bent backwards at a bending point defining the sheet holder bottom and a rear panel extending upwardly from the bending point. The informational slip is placed on the car window so that information is displayed through the front portion, which is transparent. The clip is formed so as to press the sheet into the window, thereby acting to reduce gaps between the informational slip and the front panel and, as a consequence, enhancing slip visibility.

Abstract: A method of installing a mud flap onto a vehicle having a fender which has a contour, so that the mud flap is in a predetermined position. A mud flap installation kit is used. This kit has a mud flap that defines a set of at least three apertures positioned along a curve that parallels the fender contour and a set of flat clips equal in number to the apertures, each flat clip having a bolt and a leaf, defining a leaf aperture. Each flat clip bolt is threaded through a mud flap aperture and a leaf aperture. Then the mud flap is aligned so that each of the apertures is a predetermined distance from the fender, thereby placing the mud flap in the predetermined position. Finally, the flat clips are used to clamp the mud flap to the fender.

Abstract: An electrical assembly, comprising a heat producing semiconductor device supported on a first major surface of a direct bond metal substrate that has a set of heat sink protrusions supported by its second major surface. In one preferred embodiment the heat sink protrusions are made of the same metal as is used in the direct bond copper.

Abstract: A multilayer polymer film capacitor block, adapted to accept high currents. At least one multilayer polymer film capacitor is fit into a cavity defined in a rigid, thermally conductive structure. The cavity is sized and shaped to receive said multilayer polymer film capacitor when said capacitor is at a temperature below 40° C., but fitting said capacitor in a conformal manner so that as said capacitor is raised to temperatures above 40° C., said cavity constrains expansion of said capacitor.

Abstract: A method of removing a dart, having a base and a tip and wherein the base is wider than the tip, from animal soft tissue. The method makes use of a dart removal facilitating assembly, including a sharps container defining an opening sized to accept the base of the dart and also defining a slot contiguous with set opening, the slot being narrower than the base of the dart. The base of the dart is moved through the opening and the sharps container is moved so that the tip of the dart extends through the slot. Finally, the sharps container is to pull the dart out of the animal soft tissue.

Abstract: A fishing leader wallet includes a backing of flexible opaque material having a light colored face. A sheet of flexible transparent material is sewn to the backing over the light colored face. Also, the sheet of transparent material is divided into sections by a set of thin strips of material sewn onto the backing material through the transparent material, thereby forming a set of pockets from the transparent material and the backing material.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein comprise a scope for mounting on a firearm to provide a sight. This scope is adjustable in at least one of elevation and windage. The scope comprises a main tube, imaging optics in the main tube, a movable optic assembly that holds at least a portion of the optics; and an adjustable mechanism configured to adjust the position of the movable optics assembly. The adjustment mechanism comprises a rotatable adjustment knob, an adjustment screw, and a biasing element that biases the adjustment screw with respect to the adjustment knob. In an engagement position the adjustment knob drivingly engages with the adjustment screw such that rotation of the knob causes rotation of the adjustment screw, and in a depressed position the knob disengages the adjustment screw.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a cemented product from agricultural waste. The apparatus is comprised of a wheeled, moveable frame that holds a capturer adapted to capture a portion of the agricultural waste product onto the frame, an aligner, mounted on the frame, that is adapted to align the longitudinal agricultural waste products into rows, a binder that is adapted to bind the aligned waste products together, and a finisher that adds a cementatious material to the bound waste product, creating a cemented product.

Abstract: A stun gun dart includes a base, having an interior cavity, an energy storage assembly and an actuator. Also, a spear is supported by the base and the actuator, when actuated, causes the energy storage assembly to retract the spear into the cavity. In a preferred embodiment a conductive wire extends through the base and is electrically connected to the spear.

Abstract: A light assembly, comprising a clip and a base, releasably engageable to said clip. A platform is rotatably mounted to said base. In addition, a post is mounted on said platform and has a top. A light is hinged to said top of said post.
