A shooting rest chair, components thereof, and associated methods. The shooting rest chair includes a base configured to rest on a support surface. A seat supported by the base is sized and shaped to support a shooter when the shooter is sitting in the seat. A pivot hub is supported by the base and connects the base to the seat. A weapon support arm assembly connects to the pivot hub by a first pivot connection. The weapon support arm assembly is configured to support the weapon and is pivotable with respect to the base and the seat about the first pivot connection.

Shooting rest chair

A post driver for installing a post includes a post receiver. The post receiver has a post receiver body defining a post receiving space with an open end and an opposite closed end. The post receiving space is sized and shaped to receive an upper end portion of the post. The post receiver body has an outer surface. The post receiver includes a post receiver cover connected to the post receiver body and at least partially covering the outer surface of the post receiver body. A first handle is connected to the post receiver and a second handle is connected to the post receiver.

A post driver and remover for the installation and removal of posts includes a post receiver having a post receiver body having a driving end and an opposite driven end. The post receiver body defines a post receiving space having an open end adjacent the driven end and a closed end adjacent the driving end. The post receiving space is sized and shaped to receive an upper end portion of one of the posts. The post receiver body also has a first extractor and a second extractor. The first extractor receives a first post of a first cross-sectional size or shape, and the second extractor has a different size or shape from the first extractor to receive a second post of a second cross-sectional size or shape.

Post driver and remover

The invention broadly relates techniques for imaging and medical diagnosis and, more particularly, to the fabrication of flexible plasmonic gratings and the use thereof in detection of biomarkers. A first aspect of the invention provides for techniques for the fabrication of novel, flexible plasmonic gratings that can be inexpensively fabricated onto fiber optic cables, flexible films and substrates with non-uniform surfaces to enhance the imaging resolution. A second aspect of the invention provides for an ultra&#xac;high sensitivity (single molecule counting) biomarker detection platform useable for medical diagnosis based on a fluorescent sandwich ELISA assay performed on a plasmonic grating platform incorporated with a fluorescence detection unit.

Detection of biomarkers using plasmonic gratings

Provided are nanograting structures and methods of fabrication thereof that allow for stable, robust gratings and nanostructure embedded gratings that enhance electromagnetic field, fluorescence, and photothermal coupling through surface plasmon or, photonic resonance. The gratings produced exhibit long term stability of the grating structure and improved shelf life without degradation of the properties such as fluorescence enhancement. Embodiments of the invention build nanograting structures layer-by-layer to optimize structural and optical properties and to enhance durability.

Fabrication of multilayer nanograting structures

A method of producing a grating structure comprises the steps of forming a stamp from flexible plastic material, the stamp including a negative of a periodic grating pattern on a first surface; forming an ink by applying a polymer film to the stamp, the ink including a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the first surface of the ink contacts the first surface of the stamp such that the ink retains a positive of the periodic grating pattern; placing the ink and the stamp on a substrate such that the second surface of the ink contacts an upper surface of the substrate; and removing the stamp from the ink by applying a tensional force to one edge of the stamp.
