Abstract: A golf ball mounting device comprises a flat elongate strip member having an upper surface, a lower surface, a mounting end and a securing end; an elevation member at the mounting end of the elongate strip member, the elevation member being dimensioned so as to receive and hold thereon a golf ball; and a fastening member at the securing end of the elongate strip for fastening the elongate strip to an anchor. The fastening member comprises an aperture having a diameter located at the securing end of the elongate strip member, a strap member extending away from the securing end, and a plug member located on the strap member. The strap member is elongate, and has a width which exceeds the diameter of the aperture. The plug member is a substantially solid cylindrical shaped member.

Abstract: An improved pipette sampling system for removing and transferring a plurality of liquid samples to and from a multi-well tray is disclosed. A pipette sampling system comprises a housing having elongated plates defining a first chamber therein. A patterned array of collector conduits is joined to the plates such that a first outwardly extending section extends into the chamber and a second outwardly extending section extends away from the chamber and towards the tray. A patterned array of tubular pipette tips are removably joined to and in flow communication with said array of collector conduits. The tips and conduits are designed to contain small, measured volumes of fluid.
