Abstract: A wall-mounted wireless battery charger for a wireless remote lighting controller includes: a wall plate configured to removably retain the wireless remote lighting controller; and an inductive charging transmitter circuit coupled to the wall plate, the inductive charging transmitter circuit being configured to wirelessly interface with an inductive charging receiver circuit of the wireless remote lighting controller when the wireless remote lighting controller is retained by the wall plate. The inductive charging receiver circuit is configured to wirelessly receive power from the inductive charging transmitter circuit and generate a direct current (DC) voltage to charge a battery of the wireless remote lighting controller.

Abstract: A test strip (209-211) is associated with a circuit board (201-203) to facilitate inspection of the circuit board (201-203) during an assembly process (100). The board (201-203) has a plurality of pads (208) to receive solder paste (400) and electronic parts (600). The pads (208) are electrically coupled such that the received parts (600), once assembled, form an electronic circuit. The strip (209-211) has at least one pad (308, 310), electrically isolated from the pads (208), to receive solder paste (400) and/or parts (600). Inspection of the received solder paste (400) and/or parts (600) of the strip (209-211) indicates the accuracy of the received solder paste (400) and parts (600) on the pads (208) of the board (201-203).

Abstract: A football training apparatus to develop the defensive reactions of football linemen, comprises a simulator to simulate the football being moved or snapped by the offensive center. The simulator includes a housing having at least one window. A motor having a rotary shaft is mounted in the housing. A panel having a drawing or representation of a football is mounted on the motor shaft for rotary movement therewith. A spring is connected between the panel and housing to normally bias the panel so that the simulated football is not visible through the window. A power supply is provided to rotate the motor shaft so that the simulated football becomes visible through the window and remains stationary, as an indication that the football has been snapped. A remote control may be provided, so that the power supply can be connected to the motor from a remote location, for operation by a coach or trainer who can observe the reaction of the linemen upon appearance of the simulated football.

Abstract: A pair of spaced, wall-mounted frames support an abbreviated volleyball net and a no-rebound ball barrier which catches and returns a ball struck over the net. The frames are pivotably mounted and may be folded toward one another whereby the net and ball barrier collapse downwardly. A protective screen may then be drawn upwardly over the net, the ball barrier and a greater portion of the folded frames. The frames include vertically movable members to which the net is attached; and, these members may be adjusted to vary the net height as desired.
