  • Publication number: 20020065152
    Abstract: The present invention involves a golf tee coated with colored coatings that when struck with a golf club leave a marking that easily identifies where the ball was struck on the club face and the path of the swing, but does not come off in normal handling. The tee leaves a multi-colored marking on the club face that is used to show the swing path of a golfer's swing and the point of impact of the tee on the face of the golf club. The tee has a center line or mark that represents the middle, which establishes the optimum hitting area. This line or mark is also an indicator for the golfer to line up in the direction they are trying to hit the ball. On either side of this colored line or mark is a different color that indicates the swing path when shown on the club face.

  • Patent number: 4323478
    Abstract: An improved method and apparatus is disclosed for producing frozen particulate compositions from liquid feedstock. A continuous stream of liquid feedstock is passed through an orifice and into a liquid freezant without the orifice contacting the freezant. Compositions produced by this improved method have low proportions of fine and large particles, yielding particularly beneficial results in the case of quality control materials. The compositions are advantageously employed in automated weighing and filling apparatus.

  • Patent number: 3974037
    Abstract: A process for measuring the carbon dioxide content of a body fluid comprising the steps of mixing measured amounts of the body fluid with excess amounts of a substrate/enzyme combination selected from the group consisting ofA. pyruvate and a nucleotide triphosphate/pyruvate carboxylase,B. phosphoenol pyruvate/phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase,C. phosphoenol pyruvate and a nucleotide diphosphate/phosphoenol pyruvate carboxy kinase, andD. phosphoenol pyruvate and inorganic phosphorous/phosphoenol pyruvate carboxyltransphorylase,And excess amounts of malate dehydrogenase and the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; and determining the change in the concentration of the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in the mixture so formed while maintaining the system at a substantially constant temperature and a substantially constant pH.
