  • Patent number: 8893655
    Abstract: Disclosed is a game feeder that may be operated by weak or weakened operators for low costs. In one embodiment, the disclosed game feeder comprises: a base with stabilizing legs; a yoke with uprights and a back support extending upwardly from the base; a lifting arm pivotally positioned above the yoke so that said arm extends forward and rearward; an operating jack extending upwardly from the base and connected to the rear end of the lifting arm for pivoting the lifting arm on the yoke; and a barrel with a distributor which are positioned at the front end of the lifting arm. Practically, an operator of the game feeder may suitably lower the barrel, provide feed to a receptacle of the barrel, raise the barrel, and activate the distributor to spread the feed to the ground area near the game feeder.

  • Patent number: 7625501
    Abstract: An improved color-converting photoluminescent film that provides visible light emission in the red to green portion of the visible spectrum when excited by blue light. The color-converted photoluminescent film of the invention is patternable and has improved luminous efficiency and stability and is suitable for use in electroluminescent displays. The film comprises a mixture of a clear UV curable resin and photo-initiator which does not absorb blue light; and fluorescent pigment particles, wherein a molecular additive is optionally provided in to either or both of the pigment particles and curable resin. The mixture is screen printed onto a substrate to form a film and UV cured.

  • Publication number: 20080021500
    Abstract: Medical methods and apparatus for locating and securing intravascular devices, substantially grafts or stents-grafts, via a laparoscopic duct created by a surgical procedure to approach a blood vessel lumen. A stapler including a tubular body having at its distal end a head with a die and die lid and at is proximal end a control mechanism with a retaining handle and a control lever pivotally thereto. The lever is operatively connected via a spring-loaded pressure rod with a fastener located in the die. The movement of lever is transformed into radial forces necessary for punching through the wall of the intravascular device and the surrounding blood vessel wall with a fastener and simultaneously bending ends of the fastener apart. Securing the ends of the intravascular device to the wall of a blood vessel is performed via a set of at least two staplers, each having several simultaneously deliverable fasteners.
