A disposable apparatus with a plurality of preloaded pins such as solder columns, micro-coil springs, or other cylindrically shaped metallic parts (solder columns, et al.) in an array pattern is provided for aligning and dispensing onto a column grid array (CGA) substrate. The apparatus includes a carrier plate with a pattern of holes that is covered by removable covers to retain, position and hold an array of solder columns, et al. Alignment features on the top of the carrier plate plugs into a jig-alignment fixture or frame that precisely positions the solder columns, et al. over a CGA substrate. After inverting (flipping over) the apparatus and jig-fixture or frame upside down, the payload of solder columns, et al. detaches and transfers by gravity onto a pattern of metal pads on the CGA substrate, without the use of vacuum or vibration.

A disposable apparatus with a plurality of preloaded pins such as solder columns, micro-coil springs, or other cylindrically shaped metallic parts (solder columns, et al.) in an array pattern is provided for aligning and dispensing onto a column grid array (CGA) substrate. The apparatus is comprised of a carrier plate with a pattern of holes that is covered by a layer of sacrificial adhesive tape with sufficient tackiness to retain, position and hold an array of solder columns, et al. Alignment features on the bottom of the carrier plate plugs into a jig alignment fixture that precisely positions the solder columns, et al. over a CGA substrate. After peeling away the sacrificial adhesive tape from the apparatus, the payload of solder columns, et al. detaches and transfers by gravity onto a pattern of metal pads on the CGA substrate, without the use of vacuum or vibration.

A hot air popcorn machine including a programmable control system for precisely controlling various operating parameters including air flow and air temperature to enable the machine to consistently produce high quality popcorn in a low maintenance environment, e.g., a free-standing vending machine.

A gaming apparatus which utilizes a wall into which is to be propelled by a human user a ball which is to be rebounded proximate to the user. Formed within the contact surface of the wall are a plurality of hiatuses located in a spaced-apart manner whose function are when struck by the ball to rebound the ball at various directions while still being proximate to the user. Mounted within the wall are a plurality of lenses with there being a light mounted within each lens. Electrically connected to each light is an accelerometer with there being a separate accelerometer mounted on each lens. The accelerometers and lights are electrically connected to a microprocessor which is to be preprogrammed with a particular game that is to be played by the user. The microprocessor is connected to a scoreboard which is to display the results of the game to the user.

A projection system using a randomized fiber optic bundle for generating a wide variety of fluid visual images. A light source focusses light through a multiple color filter onto the input end of a fiber optic bundle having a plurality of optical fibers and held in a cylindrical shape. The fiber optic bundle includes a plurality of fiber optic groups that are interwoven such that the arrangement of the fiber optic groups at the fiber optic bundle's input end is different from the arrangement of the fiber optic groups at the fiber optic bundle's output end. The multiple color filter is movable such that light of time-varying color is directed into each of the optical fibers. The time-varying colored light is received by a projection lens and imaged at a target.
