Abstract: The present disclosure solves many problems. The main problem solved by the present disclosure is the problem of showing veins for patients whose veins may be hard to find. The present disclosure will greatly improve the venipuncture experiences for millions of people every day. The present invention discloses a system and method imaging objects in or behind a turbid medium comprising a light source adapted to illuminate an imaged area, an imaging device arranged to optically capture and relay an image, an electronic display to receive and display the image, and a control unit to control at least one spectral and polarization properties of the light source. Also disclosed is a camera module within an embodiment of the imaging device that provides for an alternative operation of the imaging device, without a control unit, and relaying of the image to the electronic display, which may be a tablet.

Abstract: A combination sporting practice assembly includes a stem, a first structure, a second structure, and a basketball hoop. The stem extends between first and second ends. The first and second structures are releasably engaged with the first and second ends of the stem, respectively. The basketball hoop is releasably engaged with at least one of the stem, the first structure, and the second structure. The combination sporting practice assembly is selectively reconfigurable between different configurations.

Abstract: An article comprises a body, wherein a portion of the body is hollow. A pressurized gas is disposed within the hollow portion of the body. The hollow portion of the body has at least one opening defined therein. The opening is adapted to enable the pressurized gas to escape from the hollow portion of the body, such that the escaping gas provides energy to an associated object operatively associated with the body. The article and method of pressurizing hollow toys may provide a plurality of objects that are interchangeably and operatively associated with the body of the article.
