Patent number: 8137208Abstract: An automatic real-time game scoring device and golf club swing analyzer which may include enhanced capability based on GPS parametric and golf course specific information. One aspect of the invention includes the capability to assess a player's swing as a function of ball strike, club information, and length of an actual golf shot. In another aspect of the invention, the device provides for scoring a game as a function of the club used, the shot characteristics, and specific course parameter such as the hole played, game conditions, which may be analyzed during game play, as well as post game. The system presented according to the present invention is capable of adding to an individual's score only actual golf ball shots while ignoring practice swings. For recreational golf, the system allows for user overrides (“whiffs” and “mulligans”) at the golfer's digression.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2009Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Innoventions Partners, LLCInventors: Frank Ahem, Charles Mollo

Patent number: 7734852Abstract: A modular computer system (20) including a universal connectivity station (UCS) (22) interconnected to a plurality of remote modules (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 42) via a plurality of respective high speed serial links (26, 40) such as based on proprietary Split-Bridge™ technology. The plurality modules, including a processor module (42) which may include core parts including a CPU, memory, AGP Graphics, and system bus interface may be remotely located from each of the other modules, including the UCS (22). The present invention achieves technical advantages wherein each module of the modular computer system (20) appear to each device to be interconnected to the other on a parallel bus since the high speed serial links appear transparent. Preferably, although not necessary, each of the modules including the UCS 22 are based on the PCI bus architecture, or the PCMCIA bus architecture, although other bus architectures are well suited to be incorporated using the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2000Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Inventors: Frank W.

Patent number: 7139181Abstract: A power converter reducing a maximum available output power during extreme operating temperature conditions. The output power is adapted to be reduced during higher operating temperatures to maintain the power converter housing within acceptable operating temperatures. The power converter may then increase the available operating power as the converter housing temperature is reduced such that an acceptable output power is available during higher operating temperatures, rather than simply turning off the power converter during the excessive temperature condition.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2005Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Mobility Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Ejaz Afzal, Charles Mollo

Patent number: RE41494Abstract: An improved extended cardbus/PC card controller (20) incorporating proprietary Split-Bridge™ high speed serial communication technology for interconnecting a conventional parallel system bus via a high speed serial link with a remote peripheral device. The extend cardbus/PC card controller is adapted to interface the parallel system bus, which may be PCI, PCMCIA, integrated, or some other parallel I/O bus architecture, with peripheral devices via PC cards, and now optionally via a high speed serial link using the proprietary serial Split-Bridge™ technology. The serial Split-Bridge™ technology provides real time interconnection between the parallel system bus and the remote device which may also be based on a parallel system data bus architecture, over a serial link, which serial link appears to be transparent between the buses and thus facilitates high speed data transfer exceeding data rates of 1.0 GigaHertz.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2005Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Inventors: Frank W. Ahern, Doss Jeff, Charles Mollo
