  • TRANSISTORS
    Publication number: 20140097426
    Abstract: This invention comprises a field effect transistor which comprises source and drain electrodes (01) which are bridged by a semiconductor which comprises semiconducting crystallites, the conductivity of the semiconductor being controlled by a gate electrode (02) which is insulated from the semiconductor and the source and drain electrodes, to which a potential is applied for controlling the conductivity of the semiconductor, in which at least part of the facing surfaces of the source and drain electrodes are geometrically formed such that they provide current flow of different directions between the electrodes through the said channel. By this means current is caused to flow through more orientations of the crystals resulting in greater uniformity of performance between different transistors when there is a degree of variable crystallographic orientation.

  • GOLF CHIP SHOT TRAINING AID AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20140100051
    Abstract: A golf training aid including a generally C-shaped base which snap-fits around the grip of a golf club. A single arm angles downwardly and forwardly away from a top end of the base. A contoured support is provided at the end of the arm which contacts the golfer's wrist and this support substantially prevents the golfer's wrist from breaking, i.e., bending, during the playing of a shot, particularly a chip shot. The arm is adjustable in length and is movable between retracted and extended positions to enable the golfer to customize the training aid to suit his or her body. The training aid assists in keeping the golfer's shoulders and arms in the correct orientation relative to each other to more effectively and consistently play chips shots.
