Abstract: A fluid coupling assembly which has a novel female subassembly capable of receiving a male portion, the female subassembly being formed by spin welding two generally cylindrical plastic parts together, one of the parts being a quick connect end portion and the other part being the barb end portion. The female subassembly is provided with a key or keyway to prevent rotation, to mate with a corresponding key or keyway on the male portion to prevent false connections, and to act as a clear visual aid for orientation. In this design differing barb end portions can be secured to a common quick connect end portion.

Abstract: A golf ball holder for displaying golf balls. The golf ball holder is manufactured from a thermoplas tic material. The holder is manufactured to accommodate from a single golf ball to an infinite number. A base portion supports the holder and the golf ball holder terminates in a top portion that seats a single golf ball. A side display portion extends from the base portion to the top portion and has a plurality of openings formed therein for receiving and retaining golf balls therein.

Abstract: A system is provided for generating a blue-green optical signal with a wavelength in the range of 450-550 nm and corresponding to a Fraunhofer line, comprising: a plurality of laser diodes, each laser diode generating a first optical signal having a first wavelength, .lambda.; a plurality of optical fiber, each optical fiber having a first end optically coupled to receive the optical signal from one of the laser diodes and a second end for emitting a second optical signal having a second wavelength, .lambda./2, where the wavelength .lambda./2 corresponds to a Fraunhofer line, the second ends forming a fiber optic bundle for emitting a composite optical signal comprised of each of the second optical signals; a servo-controlled gimbal for supporting the fiber bundle to direct the direction of the composite optical signal; and a computer operably coupled to provide direction control signals to the servo-controlled gimbal.
