Abstract: A device and method for training a shooter to shoot with improved accuracy. A picture of a target is fixedly mounted in front of a sight on a bow or gun. The picture is mounted in a stationary position which visually aligns an aiming point in the sight with the center of the picture when the shooter is in a shooting position. The shooter then shoots a plurality of shots in a safe direction while looking through the sight and focusing on the stationary mounted picture. In this manner, the shooter's subconscious mind is trained to keep the sight aligned with an actual target while shooting.

Abstract: The present invention provides a model and a method and apparatus for utilizing the model to simulate an imaging scenario. The model is mathematically defined by analytical basis objects and/or polygonal basis objects. Preferably, the model is a model of the human heart and thorax. Polygonal basis objects are only used to define structures in the model that experience torsion, such as certain structures in the heart that experience torsion during the cardiac cycle. The manner in which the basis objects comprising the model are transformed by scaling, translation and rotation is defined for each basis object. In the case where a basis object experiences torsion, the rotation of the basis object will change as a function of the length along the axis of the basis object about which rotation is occurring.

Abstract: This invention of booklet, bookmark and audio storage device, relates to training youth and adult readers considered normal, in the use of materials and reference tools in their development of fluency using the instructional method of the prior related invention and the configuration of categories of information, activities and experiences deemed as necessary for the development of such materials and tools. These materials and tools use special markings for directing readers in word pronunciation while leaving in tact the correct spelling of text in the booklet and uses both correct and phonetic spelling on the reference tool as a means of aiding pronunciation of letter combinations and sight words that do not decode phonetically. The audio storage device aids the reader in objectively evaluating fluency. The materials and tools have been designed to be accessible, economical, highly portable, and inconspicuous as a means of protecting the reader's self esteem.
