Abstract: An illuminated rim for a roundnet set is provided. The illuminated rim of the present application is an illuminated circular frame attached to the top of an existing frame of a standard roundnet set. The underside of a connector unit of the illuminated rim snaps onto the existing frame of the standard roundnet set. An optional sensor may be used in connection with the game to detect pressure on the net from, for example, a ball hitting it. Once the sensor is triggered, the LED lights may be programmed to go off. In an embodiment, the device may be programmed so that the light may be used to determine if a valid or invalid shot was executed by a player.

Abstract: An end effector for a transport device for the movement of parent rolls of convolutely wound web materials is disclosed. The end effector comprises a frame, first and second radial members operably connected to the frame, a first core plug operably connected to the first longitudinal member, and a second core plug operably connected to the second longitudinal member. A first core plug extensible from a first position to a second position relative to the first longitudinal member and a second core plug extensible from a first position to a second position relative to the second longitudinal member are capable of cooperative and penetrating engagement with a core of the parent roll.

Abstract: A process for improving the convertability of parent rolls of convolutely wound web materials is disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for the non-compression transportation of a convolutely wound web material parent roll is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a motivator and an end effector operably, cooperatively, and pivotably engaged to the motivator. The end effector provides a pair of opposed core plugs capable of cooperative and penetrating engagement with a core of the parent roll when the first core plug is disposed proximate to a first portion of the core of the parent roll and the second core plug is disposed proximate to a second portion of the core of the parent roll disposed distal therefrom.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more medicaments in a pharmaceutically acceptable effervescent formulation. The effervescent formulation includes a first gas-dispersing component and a second gas-generating effervescent component, wherein at least one first gas is released from the first gas-dispersing component and at least one second gas is generated and evolved from the second gas-generating effervescent component, upon contact with a minimal amount of water. The formulation is placed in an aqueous vehicle wherein the formulation effervesces gases causes penetration, dispersion and distribution of the medicaments in the vehicle. The vehicle, which may be any ordinary food or beverage chosen by the patient, is then ingested by the patient for delivery of a dosage of the medicaments.
