Abstract:
A lightweight golfing kit particularly suited to use on pitch-and-putt courses comprises one or more golfing shafts, two or more clubheads demountably attachable thereto, and a carrier assembly including a holster open at both ends for supporting the shaft or shafts. The carrier may include a case for the clubheads supporting the holster in an upright position, and loops for supporting the assembly from a golfer's shoulders. Optionally a golfing shaft may be adjustable in length. The assembly may also include a detachable belt.

Abstract:
A system, apparatus, and method for control of pressure in a tire curing press bladder. The present invention learns from a previous duty cycle by saving the data from those duty cycles. The data is analyzed, and program outputs are optimized for execution of the subsequent cycle. The pressure in the tire bladder is more accurately controlled to achieve desired set point values and significantly reduce overshoot and undershoot conditions. The system may be implemented with an appropriately programmed programmable logic controller (PLC).
Abstract:
A valve assembly is configured to secure on a hole of a rim on which a tire having at least two air chambers is mounted. The valve assembly includes a main body, a securing means, at least two valve bodies and at least two valves. The main body includes at least two transfer air passage respectively connected to each of the air chambers. The securing means is configured to secure the main body and also the at least two valve bodies on the rim. The at least two valve bodies are respectively disposed on the main body and each of the at least two valve bodies has an inlet air passage connected to one of the transfer air passages of the main body. The at least two valves are respectively attached to each of the at least two valve bodies.
Abstract:
A basket for a power chair includes a frame assembly having an inverted “L” shaped first side frame member with a first horizontal frame member and a first vertical frame member, an inverted “L” shaped second side frame member with a second horizontal frame member and a second vertical frame member, and an interconnecting front frame member connected to those ends, and a wire basket. The wire assembly is attached to the frame assembly. Also included is an “L”-shaped first mounting bracket having a hollow first vertical section that receives the first vertical frame member and a first horizontal section, and an “L”-shaped second mounting bracket having a hollow second vertical section that receives the second vertical frame member and a second horizontal section. The first and second horizontal sections are configured to insert into receiver tubes of a power chair.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically detecting better lift and using the lift to stay aloft longer, provide recommendation to the aerial vehicle's pilot or fully controlling the flight of the aerial vehicle. The disclosed techniques pertain to aerial vehicles such as airplanes or model airplanes, gliders or model gliders, sailplanes or model sailplanes, hang-gliders, paragliders, speedflying, parafoils etc. The invention uses sensors located on the aerial vehicle to gauge air lift (updraft, thermal, ridge lift etc.) to extend the time the aerial vehicle may be kept aloft. The data flowing from the sensors is fed into a computer, that may provide recommendations to the pilot or to the autopilot (Computer) of the best path to take, to find better lift and to stay aloft.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a device for activating a mask pack, a photon therapy mask pack device, and a fiber based light emitting lighting device. The device for activating a mask pack includes: a first fiber fabric layer having a shape corresponding to that of a face of a wearer and having ductility for being closely adhered to the face of the wearer; a metal pattern layer attached to one surface of the first fiber fabric layer; an insulating resin adhesive layer attaching the first fiber fabric layer and the metal pattern layer to each other; a light emitting diode element attached onto the metal pattern layer and irradiating photon therapy light; an adhesive film layer covering the metal pattern layer and the light emitting diode element and in contact with the mask pack; and a power supplying module supplying power to the light emitting diode element to allow components of the mask pack to be better permeated into a skin of the wearer.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a hybrid device comprising: an energy converting unit comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and an energy converting medium arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the energy conversion takes place between the first electrode and the second electrode; an energy charge storing unit comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and an electrolyte medium; wherein the energy charge is stored between the first and the second electrode; the second electrode of the energy converting unit and the second electrode of the energy charge storing unit being a shared electrode electrically connecting the energy converting unit and the energy charge storing unit; and wherein the shared electrode comprises a metal and a nanostructured material. The present invention is also directed to a method of manufacturing such a hybrid device.
Abstract:
A user may access an institution system via more than one communications channel, either by the same device (e.g., a mobile device accessing the institution system via a voice channel and a data channel) or by different devices (e.g., a personal computer via a web channel and a phone via a voice channel). If a user is not currently authenticated to a communications channel and attempts to access the institution system via a communications channel, the user may be authenticated using strong authentication. If the user is currently authenticated to the institution system via a communications channel and would like to engage a second communications channel to access the institution system, the user may authenticate to the second communications channel using both communications channels and weak authentication, such as single factor authentication or a challenge question.
