  • Patent number: 9541679
    Abstract: An integrating volume for laser light homogenization includes a housing having an interior surface defining a light integrating cavity of a non-spherical configuration in the housing interior, an input port on the housing to allow entry of light from a laser beam through the input port into the light integrating cavity, and an output port on the housing and offset from the input port to allow sampling of light from the light integrating cavity through the output port after the light has reflected in the light integrating cavity between different portions of the interior surface of the housing so as to homogenize the light for sampling at the output port.

  • Publication number: 20080217848
    Abstract: A table game comprising a flat surfaced table, a free standing upsettable penalty tower, seven holes spaced away from sides of the flat surface, seven cue balls, one of which is a premium ball, and an individual cue ball return channel, sound deadening pad, ball drop slot, and scoring box, each corresponding to a given hole. Each player, in turn, places a striker ball in a specific spot on the table surface, a striker ball position marker, and stands at the front of the table, then shoots the striker ball at a target ball. Shooting from the front of the table enables the placement of the table alongside a wall, or even in a corner. This saves considerable space as compared to existing cue ball game tables.
