  • Patent number: 7819762
    Abstract: A golfer training aid for use in teaching a golfer how to square up the face of the golf club at impact resulting in golf shots having substantial accuracy. The device is a one-piece or multi-piece flat-face practice golf ball. The one-piece or multi-piece practice golf ball is shaped with a flat face 2 on one side. (FIG. 1B). The flat face has a 90-degree or right angle cut 4 to the radial portion or circular embodiment 3 of the semi-sphere 1. The importance of this unique feature is that it enables the golfer to position the flat side of the club face with the flat face of the practice golf ball and contact the ball flush and correctly. The flat face practice golf ball helps teach the golfer to hit a variety of controlled fades and a variety of controlled draws, a straight shot, as well as a backspin or descending blow, or a flop shot.

  • Patent number: 7453357
    Abstract: An article locating system comprises a first unit having a housing and a circuit for generating a coded search signal that is unique to the first unit. The first unit operatively communicates with a second unit attached to the article to be located. The second unit includes a housing and a circuit for receiving the search signal and for generating a found signal. The second unit transmits the found signal to the first unit which then responds by selectively activating an indicator connected to the circuit of the first unit. The indicator preferably includes an array of indicator lights that are programmed to illuminate in a sequence to indicate the proximate position of the second unit relative to the first unit for locating the article. In an alternative embodiment, the second unit includes a record/playback device for recording and playing an audible communication in response to receiving the first signal from the first unit.

  • Publication number: 20050114523
    Abstract: Under the present invention, user interface pages are served to a user so that the user can access “information” files in real-time using a web browser or the like. In a typical embodiment, the user will input login data, which will be used to access his/her access control permissions. Based on the access control permissions, the files the user is authorized to access will be displayed in a list along with a list of links to other computer systems in the network the user can access. When the user selects a desired file, that file will be retrieved in real-time and the information therein will be communicated to the user for viewing in the interface pages.
