摘要： The Sky Dial is a North Star based celestial observatory for measuring the position of celestial objects. This celestial observatory, when aimed at the North Star, creates a grid of stationary reference lines which divide the entire visible sky into near isosceles trapezoid shapes that can be identified by their grid coordinates, Ring Number and Hour Number. The Sky Dial allows people to observe celestial objects, and easily assign them a set of coordinates defining their current position. By comparing the grid positions of an object at different times, users can witness that all the stars rotate counter-clockwise around the North Star once every twenty-four hours, or 15 degrees per hour, and that distance from the North Star, called the ring, never changes. The Sky Dial can be used to measure the passage of time during the night just as a Sun Dial can do during the day.

摘要： A process for preparing for casting is provided and includes forming a cast component defining an interior having a complex and/or irregular shape, introducing a non-solid material into the cast component interior and solidifying the non-solid material to form an inner shell, forming an outer shell about the cast component and removing the cast component from between the inner and outer shells.
