Abstract: The device includes in combination a rigid ellipsoidal support base having a concave interior surface and a convex exterior surface and an adhesive material for attaching to human epidermis layered on a predominance of the entire convex interior surface. The device is particularly useful to prevent snoring in a sleeping human by providing support to the maxillofacial muscles of a user's face to provide a small air passage between the maxillofacial muscles of the face and the jaws which allows for the intake and output of air such that the sleeping individual does not have to intake and output air through the nose.

Abstract: A golf ball retriever that has a telescopic handle and an adjustable head. The retriever is unique because the ball passes through the bottom edge by simply placing the retriever over the ball and pressing down on the ball making tabs move in an upward direction. After the ball passes through the bottom edge the spring loaded tabs return to their original position and trap the ball within the confines of the ball retriever. The handle and ball receiver are adjustable to one another via the adjustable head connector allowing the operator to change the position of the head in relation to the telescopic handle. This allows the user to retrieve a ball on uneven surfaces.

Abstract: The instant invention is a golf ball retriever that is comprised of a molded unitary structure. The retriever is unique because the ball passes through the bottom edge by simply placing the retriever over the ball and pressing down on the ball making the movable bales move in an upward direction. After the ball passes through the bottom edge the movable bales return to their original position and are stopped by the bale stops. This traps the ball within the confines of the ball retriever. The handle and ball receiver are locked into position by fasteners.

Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed which apply an excitation-emission matrix (EEM) to a heterogeneous, two-dimensional sample, allowing a considerably larger number of emitting, e.g. fluorescent, labels to be used simultaneously. This may be accomplished by employing a spectroscopic method of excitation-emission matrices which allows discrimination of species with similar emission spectra, and also allows positive identification of energy transfer between emitting species. The methods and devices may employ a novel excitation-light scanning technique which allows imaging of the emission from the heterogeneous sample both in two spatial dimensions (length and width) and in two spectral dimensions (excitation and emission wavelength). This light scanning technique maximizes the throughput of excitation light, increasing the sensitivity and hence the reading speed of the instrument.
