  • Publication number: 20240108945
    Abstract: A golf tracking system including a tag coupled to a golf club. The tag includes a plurality of sensors, each which output a signal based on a detected movement of the golf club, a microcontroller that compares each of the plurality of sensor outputs to stored reference sensor output values, and a transceiver that transmits data corresponding to the sensor outputs to a device remote from the tag based on the comparison performed by the microcontroller. The location-aware device then processes the information received from the tag to determine whether a shot should be registered.

  • Patent number: 3970021
    Abstract: A series of shirt cuff pattern parts are placed in overlying relationship on a web of lining material and a conveyor belt engages the upper surfaces of the web of lining material and the pattern parts and holds the layers of material together as they are moved through a sewing machine. The overlying side edge of each of the pattern parts is folded down under an edge of the web of lining material, and the sewing machine sews through the folds. A predetermined range of lengths of the connected together series of partially completed shirt cuffs is continuously accumulated from the sewing machine, and are continually fed from the accumulation to a cutter, and are separated by cutting the web of lining material adjacent the trailing edge of a pattern part so that each partially completed shirt cuff is formed with a short length of the web of lining material protruding from the shirt cuff panel pattern part, and the pattern parts are stacked.
