Abstract: A portable remote controlled target assembly includes a frame carried on a base. The frame includes a first arm and a second arm. A sheath is carried on the first arm, a roller is carried on the second arm, and a sheet spans the sheath and the roller. The sheet includes a target. The sheet is advanced between the sheath and the roller by a motor which rotates the roller. The motor is remote control operated to allow new targets to be displayed while a user is remotely positioned during target practice.

Abstract: A device for creating a trench in a ground surface includes a frame, an axle and a platform. A wheel is mounted to the axle and a motor is mounted to the platform. The motor is configured to rotate a drive shaft. A primary blade is removably mountable to the drive shaft. The primary blade has a first radius measured from a geometric center of the primary hub to a free end of a largest of the at least three primary tines. A second blade is removably mountable to the primary hub. The secondary blade has a second radius measured from a geometric center of the secondary hub to a free end of a largest of the at least three secondary tines. The first radius is greater than the second radius. A blade guard is mounted to the platform and generally covers the primary and secondary blades in an assembled configuration.

Abstract: A tree cutter in combination with a self-propelled vehicle is disclosed for cutting underbrush and small free standing trees, such as, Cedar. The tree cutter is pivotally mounted at the front of the self-propelled vehicle, such as, a Four Wheeler in order to pivot upon a horizontal axis. The tree cutter provides a frame assembly that includes a discrete pair of triangular straight edge blades followed by a pair of circular blades that rotate in opposite directions caused by contact with the inner core the tree. The blade pairs are adjacent, oppositely disposed, and selectivly spaced apart as included in the frame assembly. The blade pairs act in synergy as they are driven into the tree by the vehicle, wherein the straight blades are suited for slicing into the soft outer vascular core of the tree, thereafter shearing force of the rotating blades is applied to the harder sapwood and heartwood that are engaged between the rotating blades.

Abstract: A rear fender of a motorcycle is supported at one end by anchoring the fender in two rail supports of a rear subframe. Bolts supporting rear spring/damper units secure the one end of the fender. The fender includes two horizontally extending end flanges and two vertically extending side flanges. Vertically extending bolts pass through the horizontally extending flanges and are held by slugs located in rail supports of the rear subframe of the motorcycle.

Abstract: A synthetic method for preparation of hybrid inorganic/organic energetic nanocomposites is disclosed herein. The method employs the use of stable metal in organic salts and organic solvents as well as an organic polymer with good solubility in the solvent system to produce novel nanocomposite energetic materials. In addition, fuel metal powders (particularly those that are oxophilic) can be incorporated into composition. This material has been characterized by thermal methods, energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM), N2 adsoprtion/desorption methods, and Fourier-Transform (FT-IR) spectroscopy. According to these characterization methods the organic polymer phase fills the nanopores of the material, providing superb mixing of the component phases in the energetic nanocomposite.
