Abstract: A container system and a method for transporting hazardous materials is disclosed. One embodiment of the container system includes a soft-sided outer shell and an inner frame. The outer shell is at least partially collapsible when unsupported. The outer shell may include a plurality of vertical walls integrally formed with a bottom and an open top. A lid may be adapted to be selectively secured to the vertical walls to close the outer shell. A fastener, such as a zipper, may be provided to secure the lid to the vertical walls. The inner frame has rigid walls and is adapted to support the outer shell when the inner frame is inserted inside the outer shell. The inner frame is at least partially collapsible. One embodiment of the method includes providing a soft-sided container that is at least partially collapsible when unsupported. Hazardous material is positioned into the container.

Abstract: A portable, highway legal truck tent made of steel tubing, having a durable cover, and containing two built-in bench seats is disclosed. The truck tent assembles within thirty minutes and once on a truck, it requires no disassembly/reassembly. Because of its durability, the cover will not flutter when driving at fast speeds. The construction/design of the steel tubing frame allows campers to drive to their destinations with the tent already assembled. The mobile tent can remain on the truck bed or be placed on the ground. The frame has poles that extend into the truck bed and lock on the truck tie downs, which are in the form of clamps that hook under the lip of the truck bed. Interlocking pins in the frame of the bench seat allow for enlargement of the bench seat to adjust to varying lengths and widths of different trucks.

Abstract: A tuning fork damping assembly for an archery bow includes a tuning fork housing adapted to be coupled to a portion of the archery bow. The tuning fork housing includes spaced apart fork members defining a cavity. A dampening member is disposed within the cavity for dampening vibrational energy generated by each shot of the archery bow.

Abstract: An inertia tripod member is adapted to be coupled to a rotating member of an archery bow. The inertia tripod member includes a central body portion offset from the rotating member. A synchronization leg extends out from the central body portion and is coupled to the rotating member for synchronizing rotation of the inertia tripod member with rotation of the rotating member. An inertia thrust leg extends out from the central body portion and is spaced apart from the synchronization leg for increasing catapulting forces and bow speed during each shot of the archery bow.

Abstract: Batteries and related methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of making a battery can include passing a mandrel through an opening defined by a pellet that includes an electrode composition. The mandrel can have a transverse cross-section with a first dimension and a second dimension that is larger than the first dimension.

Abstract: A suspension system is provided for dampening vibrational energy and noise in an archery bow. The suspension system includes an axle shaft. A rotating member is rotatably coupled to the axle shaft and defines a string groove. A string partially extends along the string groove. The string has an over molded portion contacting the string groove for decoupling the string from the string groove to dampen vibrational energy and noise generated during each shot of the archery bow.

Abstract: An archery bow includes a limb extending between opposing first and second ends. A limb pocket is operably coupled to the first end of the limb. A limb bolt actuator is positioned to retain the limb within the limb pocket for decoupling the limb from the limb pocket and dampening vibration exerted through the limb as the limb flexes and releases during each shot of the archery bow.
