Abstract:
An enhanced projectile expelling apparatus provides stability and versatility expelling projectiles at various speeds and trajectories. The projectile expelling apparatus has a non-rotating launch tube and/or tilting feeder elbow with a rearwardly-disposed pivot adjustment assembly that facilitates the tilting of the feeder elbow. A speed-controlled motor rotates a drive wheel that imparts speed and spin to the projectiles.

Abstract:
A method for producing glycerin from one or more plants of genus Nicotiana is provided. The glycerin can be derived inter alia from Nicotiana species biomass or from seed. In certain embodiments, the glycerin is produced by either acid-catalyzed hydrolysis or base-catalyzed hydrolysis of acylglycerol-containing starting material derived from tobacco biomass or seed. The invention also provides articles and compositions including smoking articles and smokeless tobacco compositions that include glycerin produced from one or more plants of genus Nicotiana.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for the first time a hitting device having a plural ended pedestal. The plural ended pedestal includes at least one end having a pedestal for supporting objects and at least one end having a smaller pedestal for supporting smaller objects.
Abstract:
A batting or ball practice cage has one or more frame members with a net attached over the frame. Frame members may be assembled having springs or elbows at the comer. A pitching machine may be aligned with the cage at one end.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for the first time a barrier support structure comprising at least one removable closed-loop resilient coilable frame having a perimeter. The removable closed-loop coilable frame comprises at least one connection member. A support base comprises at least one attachment member. The attachment member removably attaches to the connection member of the removable coilable frame. The attachment member maintains a predetermined angle between the removable coilable frame and the support base.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for the first time a swing trainer having a sheath with a core end and a protective end, the core end of the sheath has a cover attached.

A batting or ball practice cage has one or more frame members with a net attached over the frame. Frame members may be assembled having springs or elbows at the corner. A pitching machine may be aligned with the cage at one end.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for detecting aggregate-forming circulating protein forms in a biological sample of human origin that may contain said aggregate-forming circulating protein forms, characterized in that it uses a non-protein agent I producing aggregation of the circulating forms of the noninfectious proteins involved in pathological aggregation processes of the central nervous system and/or a non-protein agent II for capturing the natural aggregrates of aggregate-forming circulating protein forms or the aggregates induced by said agents I.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for the first time a projectile expelling apparatus having at least one fixed channel for allowing projectiles to enter at a constant entry point and a rotational expelling housing rotationally connected to at least one fixed channel for projecting projectiles at various trajectories.
