Abstract: A hand-held inspection lamp is described. The lamp includes a multi-pin receptacle capable of connecting to a cord carrying alternating current and, alternatively, a cord capable of carrying direct current. The pins of the receptacle are wired to appropriate hardware within the lamp such that the proper type of current is supplied to a bulb housed therein. Thus, if the lamp is configured for a bulb that utilizes AC current, the pin configuration of the receptacle and an AC power cord supply AC current directly to the bulb or a ballast. The DC power cord has pins configured to supply current to an inverter connected to the bulb or ballast through the receptacle. A similar, but converse, arrangement is provided for the lamp when designed to house a bulb that utilizes DC current.

Abstract: Simvastatin is produced from lovastatin in high yield and in pharmaceutical purity by forming an amide of lovastatin and protecting the free hydroxyl groups of the lovastatin amide with hexamethyidisilazane (HMDS) to form a protected lovastatin amide. The &agr;-carbon of the 2-methylbutyrate secondary chain of the protected lovastatin amide may be methylated to form a protected simvastatin amide. The protecting groups may be removed therefrom by quenching the methylation reaction with water. The simvastatin amide which is obtained may be hydrolyzed to form simvastatin acid, followed by forming a simvastatin ammonium salt, lactonizing the salt to form simvastatin, and recrystallizing the thus formed crude Simvastatin to a high degree of purity. The HMDS protecting agent for the lactone hydroxyl groups of Lovastatin is selected so as to result in a reaction that does not produce acid so that a base, such as imidazole, is not required to neutralize the acidity of the reaction medium.

Abstract: A compact hand-held high intensity ultraviolet inspection lamp having a straight handle aligned with beam direction includes a high-intensity light bulb enclosed within a bulb housing, a light-emitting aperture at the end of the bulb housing away from the handle, and an ultraviolet light filter in alignment with the aperture to absorb substantially all light emitted from the bulb at frequencies outside of the ultraviolet spectrum and to transmit the unabsorbed ultraviolet light. Three embodiments of such lamp are disclosed herein.

Abstract: An inspection lamp for detection of a fluorescent material which absorbs electromagnetic energy in a specific excitation frequency band and which emits electromagnetic energy in a specific fluorescent emission frequency band within the visible light spectrum. The lamp includes a bulb housing, a light source within the bulb housing, and a dichroic filter. The dichroic filter is adapted to transmit electromagnetic radiation in the excitation frequency band of the fluorescent material and reflect electromagnetic radiation in the fluorescent emission frequency band of the material.

Abstract: A putter having only one paddle grip (10) at one end of the shaft, allowing finger-tip squeezing of the long flat sides of the grip. Shaft (11) has appropriate surfaces to permit slippery finger and finger-tip holds. A head (12) contains heel (26) and toe (24) cavities with discs (32) to distribute head weight for pendulum putter stroke and plumb control, and to adjust total weight of the putter for comfort. A finger-tip grip methodology permits precise pendulum motion of the putter, minimizing pushing or pulling of the putt.
