Abstract: A process and apparatus for sterilizing bio-active infectious waste matter bya) placing infectious waste in a degradable container, and positioning the container in a pressure vessel; andb) injecting steam into the vessel to wet the container and the infectious waste; andc) subjecting the wet container and infectious waste matter to sufficient microwave radiation to sterilize the waste; andd) heating the sterilized waste matter and container until they are dry; ande) granulating the waste and container to produce small unrecognizable fragment particles.

Abstract: A case for protecting the electrical connection of a storage battery terminal post with the end of a battery cable attached to that post. The case is in the form of a one-piece molded housing that incorporates an alignment and latch structure which makes it easy for the average car owner to open and close the case for accessing the connection when desired.

Abstract: A golf putter having an elongate head connected to a shaft. The shaft has a shank with a handgrip adjacent its upper end, an offset portion connected to the lower end of the shank and extending generally transversely thereof, and a depending portion projecting from the other end of the offset portion and connected to the head. The depending portion is connected to the head at a point which is adjacent the longitudinal center of the head and preferably transversely between the longitudinal centerline and the back of the head. Preferably the offset portion is inclined upwardly from the depending portion with respect to the longitudinal axis of the head and toward the front of the head at an angle of 10.degree.-30.degree. relative to the longitudinal axis of the head. Preferably the upper portion of the handgrip is inclined with respect to the shank toward the player and the ball striking face of the head.

Abstract: Immediately above the connection at the center of the head of this golf putter to its shaft, the latter has a forwardly-extending elongated horizontal primary lower aiming portion perpendicular to the center of the forward face of the putter head. An upwardly-inclined intermediate secondary aiming portion of the shaft extends from the forward end of the lower aiming portion to the lower end of the handle-attached upper portion of the shaft which is approximately aligned with the rearward face of the putter head. The lower and intermediate shaft portions lie approximately in a vertical plane perpendicular to the forward face of the putter head and passing through the center of that forward face.
