Abstract: A method of manufacturing a three dimensional stuffed figure provides a face combining the sculptured appearance of a hard face and the softness of a plush face. The face has a front surface of stretch material and a rear surface of non-stretch material defining a stuffing aperture through which is stuffed a quantity of fiberfill sufficient to stretch the stretch material relative to the non-stretch material. Facial details of the front surface of the stuffed face are contoured by tensioning threads (extending from the non-stretch material through the stretch material and back to the non-stretch material) and optionally colored by air brushing. The inverted head is secured to the inverted body to define an inversion aperture, and the inverted head and body are re-inverted through the inversion aperture.

Abstract: A system and method for operator alignment of a pointing device with a video target display wherein the gun is mounted to be deflected horizontally and vertically for aiming at all portions of the video display includes a first variable device coupled to the gun to provide a varying electric output therefrom in response to horizontal deflection of the gun and a second variable device coupled to the gun to provide a varying electric output in response to vertical deflection of the gun. These outputs control the positioning of an image of a shot on the video display. Each end of the operative range of electric outputs for each variable device is determined by comparing each output successively with each of a series of steps with the gun first pointed to one position of the display and then pointed to another position of the display. This operative range can then be divided equally into a predetermined number of shot positions on the display.

Abstract: A bicycle safety light positioned on a bike pole including a dome shaped cover, which is translucent and of a color to emit light distinguishable for vehicle safety purposes. The dome is mounted on a removable base adapted to receive a battery case on which is mounted a blinking light bulb and on/off switch. When installed in the base the bulb is housed within the dome shaped cover and the switch is easily accessible to actuate the bulb; batteries are disposed vertically in the battery case which is separately removable. A reducer permits attachment of the cover, batteries and battery case combination to an extender (bike pole) the other end of which is affixed to a mounting bracket to facilitate mounting the safety light on a bicycle, motorcycle or the like. An opening in the reducer permits access to the off/on switch. The dome may be vertically adjustable to change its position with respect to the bulb.
