Abstract: A scanner is disclosed. The scanner captures three exposures for each color scan line. The scanner has a first, second and third light source that each produces a different color of light. The scanner uses the first and second light source for the first exposure. The scanner uses the first and third source for the second exposure. The scanner uses the second and third light source for the third exposure.

Abstract: A game call striker for use in association with a game call includes a body and a plurality of tips that are selectively and interchangeably attachable to the body. In a first embodiment of the present invention, each tip includes a holder that carries a striker element. The striker element can be any of a wide variety of materials that are known and understood in the relevant art for frictionally interacting with the game call to produce a game sound. A second embodiment of the invention is presented wherein at least a portion of the game call striker is coated with an anti-reflective coating to reduce the likelihood of alerting game with movement and/or the reflection of light from the game call striker. A third embodiment of the invention is presented wherein the tips do not include a holder but are manufactured entirely of the striker element.

Abstract: A tactile feedback apparatus, such as for a rotary optoelectronic motion encoder switch, has a ball that successively engages indentations in the surface of a hub. The ball is biased against the hub in a direction at an angle to the perpendicular to the surface by an angled leaf spring. The indentations in the hub are sufficiently deep so that the ball does not contact the floor of any indentation. As the hub wears, the spring inwardly biases the ball to contact the hub at a progressively decreasing radius. Consequently, the useful life of the apparatus is extended, and performance does not significantly degrade during the useful life.
