TL;DR: In this paper, the transfer belt conveyor for vertical objects such as bottles has radial paddles attached to the outside of the conveyor belt and the paddle attachment clamps are guided above and below by the right angle edges.
Abstract: The transfer belt conveyor (1) is for vertical objects such as bottles (24) has radial paddles (10) attached to the outside of teh conveyor belt. The paddle attachments (13) are guided above and below by the right angle edges which are part of the conveyor frame cover panels (2). The conveyor belt (9) has internal teeth so that they match the drive and location drum (8). The drum (8) has also radial clearance slots (15) which are provided for the paddle attachment clamps (13). At the conveyor exit, the upright bottles are taken over by a transfer rotor (23).

TL;DR: In this paper, anthropometric parameters including weight, height, skinfolds, girths and breadths were measured in 21 paddle and 26 tennis players, and the results were compared between the two groups as well as a control group, who did not play racket-based sports.
Abstract: Introduction: Racket sports require athletes to constantly improve and progress in their physical qualities in order to maintain competitive standards. This includes achieving and maintaining an optimal body composition. However, few studies have been published addressing this topic. Objective: This study tries to provide a complete anthropometric profile, including somatotype and body composition, of paddle and tennis male adult players. Methods: Anthropometric parameters including weight, height, skinfolds, girths and breadths were measured in 21 paddle and 26 tennis players, and the results were compared between the two groups as well as a control group, who did not play racket-based sports. Results: No significant differences in any body composition variable were found comparing tennis vs paddle players, with both groups showing a meso-endomorphic somatotype. The athletes presented lower muscle mass, and therefore less mesomorphic component, compared to the control group. Conclusion: Since body composition is a major determinant in racket sport performance, it is instrumental to control fat and muscle body mass by using adequate dietetic and nutritional tools as well as optimal training programs.

TL;DR: In this article, a paddle-style handle assembly is provided for an RV, emergency vehicle or utility vehicle door or compartment. The assembly includes a housing and pivotal paddle which form a paddle module and an ornamental bezel.
Abstract: A paddle style handle assembly is provided for an RV, emergency vehicle or utility vehicle door or compartment. The assembly includes a housing and pivotal paddle which form a paddle module. The assembly also includes an ornamental bezel. The paddle module and bezel are compression mounted from the interior and exterior sides of a door panel, respectively, so that the panel is sandwiched between the paddle module and the bezel. The housing includes screw holders with molded flash membranes to hold screws prior to assembly on the door panel. The housing includes pockets formed around the paddle axle for receipt of gaskets to inhibit water infiltration. A counterbalance and a power lock actuator may be provided on the paddle module.
