Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for drying and/or scenting sports equipment and the like. A sports bag is designed such that it has two openings which are covered by a mesh fabric or a rigid plastic screen. One opening is used to receive a blower fan engaged onto the mounting at the opening. The other opening is used to allow air to escape. Wet and/or foul smelling sports equipment is placed into the sports bag. An air freshener is inserted into a pocket located in the blower fan housing, or near to the opening of the intake opening of the sports bag. The fan is turned on (with or without a timer). In a relatively short period of time the sports equipment is dry, with little effort required or foul odor released outside the sports bag.

Title: Adaptive wavefront modulation system and method for refractive laser surgery
Inventor: PETTIT GEORGE H
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2002-12-17
Abstract: A method for optimizing a prescription for laser-ablation corneal treatment includes the steps of receiving a measured correction prescription for a current patient having a classification element associated therewith, the prescription having been measured using wavefront determination. A database of treatment outcomes on a plurality of previously treated patients is accessed, each treated patient outcome having associated therewith at least one classification element and comprising a preoperative wavefront- determined correction prescription and a postoperative visual profile. From the treatment outcomes in the database is calculated an average difference between the preoperative prescription and the postoperative profile for at least some of the previously treated patients having a classification element in common with the current patient. Finally the current patient correction prescription is adjusted commensurate with the calculated average difference to form an optimized prescription.

Abstract: A method of sheeting a sports ramp. A first step involves providing a frame, intermediate support sheeting and a single flexible surface sheet. The frame has a ramp supporting surface with a peripheral edge. The surface sheet has a peripheral edge, a first face, a second face, and is coextensive in dimension to the ramp supporting surface.      There is a central travel area on both of the first face and the second face, A second step involves securing the intermediate support sheeting to the ramp support surface of the frame with fasteners. A third step involves securing the surface sheet in a position overlying the intermediate support sheeting by means of attachment positioned exclusively along the peripheral edge of the surface sheet and engaging the peripheral edge of the ramp supporting surface. This leaves the central travel area of both the first face and the second face of the surface sheet free of any surface imperfections.

Abstract: Water-based invisible red fluorescent inks provide machine-readable, inverse-contrast invisible images and can be printed using conventional ink jet printers. The inks employ rare earth complexed ligand fluorophores having narrow excitation and emission spectra. In one embodiment the images are printed with an ink comprising water and a water-soluble organic fluorescent fluorophore, which when printed and dried on paper is invisible to the eye and fluoresces in the green to infrared range, e.g., from about 550 to 1200 nm, when irradiated with short wave length UV  radiation, e.g., from 230nm to 280nm. The highly specific excitation and emission rates, coupled with a high inverse contrast on papers of all colors, makes them particularly useful as ink jet inks for postal and other purposes.
