  • Publication number: 20230035270
    Abstract: A mobile application (“app”) enabling a shopper to identify an item or items that the user wishes to locate or purchase. The device displays a list of stores which stock the item(s), and a user is then provided with in-store guidance enabling the shopper to find the item or items that the user wishes to locate or purchase. A user can identify an item or items by scanning a product bar code, scanning a product label; capturing an image of a product, or typing a product name in a search field. The method further includes identifying stores that stock the item. Items can be added to an accumulative shopping list, and items may be ordered online if not available nearby. The system provides basic navigation to store(s) carrying the item(s). Once at a store, an interior route to a product is portrayed through an overhead view map of a store layout. Once near a product, a user may be shown a virtual display of a shelf with the vertical or height placement of the product on the nearby shelf.

  • Publication number: 20200375532
    Abstract: An hydrothermal sensing device wherein the hydrothermal sensing device comprises at least one layer wherein the at least one layer is a reflective layer, a mesh layer, a semi-rigid layer and a wicking layer wherein the reflective layer can be attached to the mesh layer, and the mesh layer can be attached to the semi-rigid layer and the wicking layer can be removably attached to the semi-rigid layer. The semi-rigid layer can further comprise a band wherein the band can comprise a printed circuit board having at least one sensing module, a microcontroller, a communications module, and power source. The reflective layer is porous and UV resistant.

  • Patent number: 8827825
    Abstract: Attachable systems and methods allow a golfer to ‘zero in’ on the desired striking zone or “sweet spot” of a club, including putters and non-putters. One or more guides are positionable relative to the desired striking zone, such that if a golf ball interacts with a guide during a swing, the guide provides aural or tactile feedback that the club has hit the ball outside of the desired striking zone. The device may include at least two guides, one positionable on one side of the desired striking zone and the other positionable on the other side of the desired striking zone. The device may comprise guides in the form of a tab or leaf pivotable from an up position when not in use to a down position for use. If the club head has a back side, a portion of the device may contact with the back side.

If the club head has a back side, a portion of the device may contact with the back side. In particular, if the club is an iron with a rear cavity on the club head, a portion of the device may be received in the cavity to enhance stability, particularly during a swing. Training methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120227159
    Abstract: A head-worn article having a band portion and a visor portion is composed at least in part of the same absorbent material such as terrycloth. The band portion, being adapted to encircle the head of a wearer above the eyes, features an inner surface and an outer surface assuming a generally round or oval shape defining a periphery when worn. The visor portion is attached to the band portion along a line spanning at least one-quarter of the outer surface of the band, thereby creating an arc-shaped line of attachment, whereby the visor portion assumes two stable states, those being a flipped-up state and a flipped-down state. In the preferred embodiment, the forward extent of the visor in the flipped-down state does not extend above the top edge of the band portion in the flipped-up state.
