Abstract: A target turner and associated components and methods. The target turner is configured to hold a target to be shot by a shooter. The target turner is configured to hold the target in a shooting orientation for being shot by the shooter and in a non-shooting orientation for hiding a face of the target from the user. A turning assembly of the target turner includes a crank wheel and two turning wheels. The crank wheel drives the first turning wheel for turning the target toward the non-shooting orientation and drives the second turning wheel for turning the target toward the shooting orientation. A target support of the target turner is configured to disconnect from the turning assembly to avoid damage to the turning assembly if outside force is applied to the target support.

Abstract: A knuckle for a vehicle suspension system interconnects portions of a vehicle steering system, a vehicle brake, and a vehicle suspension system, and includes a knuckle body having a hub and bearing opening formed through the body. The hub and bearing opening define a substantially cylindrical inner wall. A cap is disposed within the hub and bearing opening. A recess is formed in the inner wall of the hub and bearing opening, and the cap includes a radially outwardly extending anti-rotation member disposed within the recess.

Abstract: A point of sale printer includes a magnetic reader for processing transactions and payment by check at a checkout point of a retail establishment. The printer includes a magnetic or MICR reader located at a predetermined point on the printer's document travel path and a print head located at the same point on the document travel path but laterally offset from the MICR reader to allow the printer to print customer receipts and a journal as well as reading MICR information from checks and endorsing the check after it is cleared. A pressure pad is used with the magnetic read head of the MICR reader which utilizes a pressure film which flexes when a document is inserted between the magnetic read head and the pressure film to provide a spring loading force on the magnetic read head while still allowing the document to be moved smoothly past the magnetic read head.

Abstract: A printer employs a print head having a wire column arranged at an angle between 0.degree. and 90.degree. relative to a permitted line of motion of the print head. This angled print head allows for both portrait and landscape printing. Portrait mode printing is performed by controlling movement of the angled print head along the permitted line of motion during printing of each line of images. Landscape mode printing is controlled by maintaining a stationary position of the print head while the print receivable medium is moved in a direction perpendicular to the permitted line of motion of the print head.

Abstract: A method for treating schizophrenia in human patients by hemoperfusion using hemoperfusion of the patient's blood through a charcoal cartridge in a manner for selective removal of molecules is disclosed. The method may use known hemoperfusion cartridges for a heretofore completely unappreciated application and has the advantages of lesser side effects and easier implementation than other known methods of treatment.
