A card game includes a deck of playing cards, an octahedral die, and spinner with a category card and timer. Each face of the octahedral die has indicia designating the dealer for the game. The spinner is divided into sections. A rotatable pointer is attached to the spinner. A category card is associated with the spinner and has verbiage describing the variants of the card game selected by the pointer. A timer controls the time of a speed hand and is started at the beginning of play of the card game. Prior to beginning of play of the card game, the octahedral die is thrown and when it had landed, the side facing up decides the dealer. Another player then spins the rotatable pointer to decide the category variant of the game to be played. Play then proceeds as with the rules of the card game.

A golf training aid comprises a body including a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface comprises a club shaft groove. The bottom surface comprises an index finger groove, a middle finger groove and a separation bulge between the two index and middle finger grooves. The body comprises an elastomeric material having sufficient flexibility so the club shaft groove generally conforms to a golf club shaft and the index and middle finger grooves generally conform to the index and middle fingers of a user when the body is positioned between the user's hand and the golf club shaft with a user's hand gripping the golf club shaft.

A packing insert is shown, which includes a first face, a second face, opposite the first face, a first side support and a second side support. The first side support is flexibly connected to the first face and the second face, preferably to one edge of each face. When not fully extended, the side supports bend inwards between the first face and the second face, and they are in positions with respect to the first face and the second face and each other such that when they are bent inwards between the first face and the second face, the first support member does not interfere with the second support member. In different arrangement, each side support includes a forward support member flexibly connected at one end to one edge of the first face and a rear support member flexibly connected at one end to one edge of the second face. The forward support member and the rear support member are rotatably connected to each other at their ends which are opposite the first face and the second face. In various forms, each side support includes a multi-position locking hinge or a cam-locking hinge or a tension spring hinge rotatably connecting the forward support member to the rear support member. The distance between the first face and the second face is adjusted by changing the angles formed by the first side support and the second side support. In one form, the first face and the second face are both substantially planar.

Herein-described are various methods for making a vaccine that are made of re-assembled virus like particles (VLP). First, the VLPs are disassembled into encapsidation intermediate populations. Each encapsidation intermediate population undergoes, for instance, chemical conjugation of unique peptide or nucleic moieties to form separate populations. Thereafter, a predetermined amount of each of the several (one or more) different encapsidation intermediates from the different populations is mixed and joined, forming intact VLPs, surrounding a nucleic acid core, that are composed of different encapsidation intermediate such that the reassembled VLP displays more than one peptide or nucleic acid. The nucleic acid can function either as a scaffold alone or can be engineered for the expression of an immunomodulatory protein in a eukaryotic cell.

Described herein is a method and apparatus for testing transducers either as single devices or in phased arrays. The apparatus includes a device which is housed in a casing (12) and comprises three polyurethane layers (15, 16, 17) each having different acoustic characteristics. A detector array (14) is located between two of the layers (15, 16). Means are also provided for clamping the device against a transducer to be tested to ensure good contact. Depending on the test mode of the transducer, either the transducer or the detector array are driven to provide signals which are detected by the other.

The present invention provides a high energy solid propellant containing an oxidizer, binder and fuel, wherein the fuel and/or the propellant as a whole is encapsulated or microencapsulated so as prevent premature reaction while still maintaining the energetic properties thereof. The oxidizer is preferably ammonium perchlorate, ammonium nitrate or ammonium dinitramide. The binder is preferably polymeric hydrocarbons or polymers. The fuel is preferably lithium hexahydridoborane or lithium hexahydridoalane.

A deflector (1) for attachment to a spiral separator (2), for capturing and redirecting a portion of a flowing stream of material (5). The deflector (1) includes an attachment means (3), to attach the deflector (1) to the spiral separator (2), a capturing portion (4) to capture a portion of the flowing stream (5), and, a redirecting portion (6) to emit a portion (7) of the stream. A method of separating particles of different densities using the deflector device (1) in conjunction with a spiral separator (2) is also disclosed.
