A system and method of assembling a ball grid array (BGA) package with IC die support is described. A stiffener is attached to a substrate that includes a centrally located opening with an integrated circuit (IC) die support structure removably held therein. An IC die is mounted to a central region of the stiffener. Further assembly process steps may be performed on the BGA package with IC die support. The IC die support structure is removed from the centrally located opening. In aspects of the invention, the IC die support structure is removably held in the opening by an adhesive tape or by one or more substrate tabs.

A platform for performance of personal combat martial arts is made with a concave upper surface having a central generally flat region for main performance surrounded by a border region that slopes upwardly to the platform periphery, so that instead of the traditional impasse and fight interruption experienced when a combatant is forced into the border region, ropes or corners of conventional flat fight rings, the action tends to continue and automatically gravitate back into the main central region without interruption. A full-height constraint net that slopes upwardly and inwardly further urges combatants away from the periphery and safely prevents bodily ejection, thus protecting ringside spectators while providing all spectators with a good view of the sports action.

Urine collection apparatus is provided which can be used to assist bedridden and/or incontinent patients, particularly female patients. The apparatus includes a urine collector which is shaped for location against the perineal region of a patient adjacent the urethra. The urine collector comprises a hollow body having opposed ends in which an inlet for air and an outlet for air and urine are formed, respectively. The body has a central region between the end regions with a reduced cross-sectional area. This effectively creates a venturi adjacent the patient's urethra when air passes through the collector. The apparatus includes a urine receptacle with an inlet for receiving air and urine from the collector, and an outlet for air which is connectable to a source of low pressure. The source of low pressure will typically be an impeller driven by an electric motor, which creates a sufficiently strong air flow through the apparatus to entrain urine and transport it to the receptacle.

Disclosed herein is a coupling device for converting a below-ground potable water well installation to an above-ground installation, the device comprising a housing having a first opening which is dimensioned to receive an upper end of a below-ground well casing and a second opening which is dimensioned to receive a lower end of a well casing extension; gasket means located adjacent the first and second openings for sealing the respective connections between the housing, the below-ground well casing and the well casing extension, the gasket means further providing a first seating surface to seat the upper end of the well casing and a second seating surface to seat the lower end of the well casing extension; and a central region including a passage to receive a well line adaptor therebetween.

A height adjustable plumber's support includes an elongated board having top and bottom major surfaces that extend from a proximal end to a distal end of the elongated board, a cushioned pad covering a central region of the top major surface, a head pad covering the top major surface adjacent the distal end of the elongated board, a foot pad covering the top major surface adjacent the proximal end of the elongated board, and a pair of flexible handles secured to opposite lateral sides of the elongated board. The height adjustable plumber's support includes a foldable support leg secured to the proximal end of the elongated board. The foldable support leg has a vertical section and a horizontally extending section. The foldable support leg is height adjustable for adjusting the height of the proximal end of the elongated board over a floor surface, such as when the distal end of the elongated board is inserted into a cabinet having an elevated base.
