  • Publication number: 20150157890
    Abstract: A portable human balance training device for improving the human proprioceptive system, athletic performance, athletic speed, athletic agility, athletic vertical leap, athletic eye/hand coordination, spatial awareness, left/right brain organization and increasing the muscular development of a user. The balancing device has an elongated suspended support structure spanning the length of the device. The balancing device also has an end support structure at each end for suspending and stabilizing the support structure. A flexible line is mounted to the end supports and spans the length of the support structure. The user places all or part of their body weight on the suspended support band and attempts to balance.

  • Patent number: 7361016
    Abstract: A temperature control assembly for use in etching processes includes a housing, a cooling conduit, fasteners, and a mounting block. The fasteners couple to the housing and operate to associate the cooling conduit, which is formed from a non-corrosive metallic material, with the housing. The mounting block is coupled to the cooling conduit. Also, a method for retrofitting an existing temperature control assembly includes removing an original cooling mechanism, selecting a retrofit cooling conduit formed from a non-corrosive metallic material, coupling fasteners to a housing of the temperature control assembly to associate the retrofit cooling conduit with the housing, and coupling a retrofit mounting block to the retrofit cooling conduit.
