Patent number: 9507978Abstract: An antenna device that includes a pair of antenna elements for an RFID reader/writer to communicate information with an RFID tag is provided. The antenna elements are movably connected to each other so that one of the antenna elements is configured to intensify the other of the antenna elements to radiate radio wave. The antenna device has at least operation modes, where the antenna elements are in parallel to each other and where the antenna elements are orthogonal to each other. The RFID reader/writer device includes such a pair of antenna elements.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2013Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: NORDIC ID OYInventor: Sami Ruotsalainen

Patent number: 8986129Abstract: The invention relates to a portable device and a method for monitoring the performance a sportsman performing a plurality of motor acts, such as golf swings. The device comprises at least one sensor providing an output signal, the sensor being responsive to body movements of the sportsman. A signal processing unit is used for extracting data on the course of each of the plurality of motor acts from the sensor output signal, and a computing unit is used for determining, based on the data on the course of the plurality of motor acts, at least one characteristic number describing the repeatability of the motor act. By the means of the invention, the handicap number of the golfer can be predicted with good accuracy by monitoring several his or her subsequent swings.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Suunto OyInventors: Michael Miettinen, Eljas Saastamoinen, Jussi Rouhento, Sami Ruotsalainen

Patent number: 7489241Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system in connection with a wristop computer (20). In the method, the wristop computer (20) is used to determine at least one of the following data in a game of golf: position, time, height, distance travelled, or club used. According to the invention, the club striking the ball is determined with the aid of a measurement and at least one datum of the game of golf is recorded, in such a way that the recording is triggered from the measurement of the club (3) striking the ball (4).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2005Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Suunto OyInventors: Michael Miettinen, Erik Lindman, Sami Ruotsalainen, Heikki Puuri

Publication number: 20050081990Abstract: A process for transmission laser welding of a first plastic part and a second plastic part that can be at least partially received in the first plastic part is proposed. The second plastic part is introduced into the first plastic part, to which it is connected by means of an interference fit connection, whereby at least one contact zone between the second plastic part and the first plastic part is formed as a result of this interference fit. A laser beam is directed to impinge on the second plastic part, through the first plastic part, along the at least one contact zone to form a weld.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2004Publication date: April 21, 2005Inventor: Sami Ruotsalainen
