The design of the dump box system allows the user to quickly unload large quantities of debris and other materials from the truck without the need for resort to shovels or rakes. | 08-25-2011 |

20130053159 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING A GOLF SWING OR PUTTING STROKE - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for alerting a golfer when he or she moves his or her head during a swing or stroke. According to an exemplary embodiment, a golf training aid comprises a movement detection mechanism and an alerting system. The training aid can comprise, for example, a support structure, such as a tube, and a weighed object, such as a ball. The weighted objet is located on or in the support structure, and the support structure is coupled to the golfer's headwear, such as a hat or visor. The weighted object is initially settled in a receiving portion of the support structure, but displaces when the golfer moves his head. The displacement alerts the golfer to the head movement, allowing the golfer to reduce or eliminate such movement from his or her golf game. | 02-28-2013 |

20090219500 | Lithographic Apparatus and Device Manufacturing Method with Radiation Beam Inspection - A lithographic apparatus can include the following devices: a patterning system, a projection system, and a radiation beam inspection device. The patterning system can be configured to provide a patterned radiation beam. The projection system can be configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate. Further, the radiation beam inspection device can be configured to inspect at least a part of the patterned radiation beam. In a substrate exposure position, the projection system is configured to expose a pattern of radiation on the substrate using the patterned radiation beam and the radiation beam device is configured to move the reflecting device away from a light path of the patterned radiation beam. In a radiation beam inspection position, the radiation beam inspection device is configured to move the reflecting device into the light path of the patterned radiation beam. | 09-03-2009 |
