Abstract: The current invention is a golf ball retriever that enables an individual to pick up a golf ball without requiring the user to bend over. The golf ball retriever includes an extendable rod with a cup configured to receive a golf ball disposed at a distal end of the rod. In one embodiment, the extendable rod is in a telescopic arrangement movable between an extend position and a retracted position. In use, the rod is extended and the cup is pressed over the ball. The cup receives the ball, and the ball remains within the cup until removed by a user.

Abstract: A multi-latch compatible system is disclosed for electrical enclosures. The system accommodates latches of different types and configurations. A rail structure may be formed to interface with pin-type latches and with plate-type latches. The rail structure may be configured as a pre-assembled insert that can be placed within an electrical enclosure. The system permits the same general structure to be used regardless of the type of latching mechanism selected and installed in the enclosure.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method to encapsulate bioactive macromolecules, as example but not limited for, peptidic drugs, into polymeric particles sizing less than 10 ?m of diameter Particle production is based on emulsification/internal gelation procedure and comprises a formation of a water-in-oil emulsion followed by solubilization of dispersed insoluble calcium complex triggering gelation of said polymer dispersed in internal phase, by ionic cross-linking with free calcium ions. Finally, resulting gelled particles dispersed in the oil phase are recovered by partition phases coupled with high speed centrifugation cycles. In this case, the present invention describes a precise methodology to recover said gelled polymeric particles after particle production and includes an addition of acetate buffer solution at predetermined pH, dehydrating agents and residual oil dissolvent agent, at predetermined concentration, followed by high speed centrifugation cycles.

Abstract: A packaged electrical system includes an enclosure and a main interior volume for component supports. The component supports may support electrical, electronic, power electronic and similar components, as well as switchgear and the like. A main power wireway is provided adjacent to the main interior volume of the enclosure for accommodating three phase power conductors. A network and control power wireway is formed separately from the main power wireway. The network and control power wireway may be formed toward the rear of the main interior volume, and may accommodate plug-in connections between component supports and network conductors and control power conductors. The network and control power wireway is thus accessible through a separate door from the main power wireway.

Abstract: A reduced form factor component support is provided for motor control centers and similar packaged electrical systems. The reduced form factor component support may be used with smaller components, such as small motor starters, motor drives, and so forth. Electrical connections with standard bus bars in the enclosure are made through special connectors mounted on subplates in the rear of the enclosure, or by an invertible stab housing that can allow the reduced form factor component support to share conventional slots in a bus cover, thereby providing access to the supply power in the enclosure.
