Abstract: A transport and display case for a golf set. The case has a front panel, a pair of side walls, a rear panel, a top and a bottom. The top is transparent so that it allows maximum amount of light into the case to showcase the golf set within. The front panel has two portions: the upper portion is transparent to allow light into the case and allow consumers to view the golf set, while the lower portion is opaque. Both side walls are opaque. The bottom is locked, but can provide easy access by consumers after they purchase the golf set from store. The case is constructed using a cardboard blank with predefined fold lines and cut-out lines. The cut-lines define portions of the case for attaching the transparent covers such as the lid and upper portion. The case can be “sealed” after the golf set is placed in the case. However, to ensure that the golf set, i.e.

Abstract: A method and system for updating device identification and status information in response to a local bus reset within a home audio/video network. Several consumer electronics products, e.g., television, VCR, tuner, set-top box (e.g., intelligent receiver/decoder, IRD), DVTRs, PCs, DVD players (digital video disk), etc., can be coupled within the network to communicate together via a standard bus (e.g., IEEE 1394 serial communication bus). In one embodiment, the communication architecture used is the home audio/visual initiative (HAVI) format. The HAVI network offers unique advantages consumer electronic vendors because the architecture offers for the home network many of the advantages of existing computer system networks. Namely, interconnected devices can share resources and provide open, well defined APIs that allow ease of development for third party developers.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a device identification mechanism within a consumer electronics based audio/video network. Several consumer electronics products, e.g., television, VCR, tuner, set-top box (e.g., intelligent receiver/decoder, IRD), DVTRs, PCs, DVD players (digital video disk), etc., can be coupled within the network to communicate together via a standard bus (e.g., IEEE 1394 serial communication bus). In one embodiment, the HAVI network offers unique advantages consumer electronic vendors because the architecture offers for the home network many of the advantages of existing computer system networks. Specifically, interconnected devices can share resources and provide open, well defined APIs that allow ease of development for third party developers. The present invention provides a mechanism whereby a global unique identifier (GUID) is associated with each device of the HAVI network. A low level driver constructs a GUID list of each device on the HAVI network.
