  • Publication number: 20090137333
    Abstract: A golf putter assembly includes a putter including a head, a display unit disposed in the putter, and a detecting unit disposed in the putter and electrically coupled to the display unit. The detecting unit is operable to detect and record a stationary starting position of a golf ball. The detecting unit is further operable to detect, during a practice swing, an instantaneous speed of the head as the head moves past the starting position, and to calculate what would be an initial speed of the golf ball if the golf ball was actually hit by the head with reference to the instantaneous speed of the head detected thereby. The detecting unit further performs control such that the initial speed of the golf ball as calculated is displayed on the display unit.

  • Publication number: 20070227762
    Abstract: A multilayer circuit board has a first insulating layer, a first grounding grid layer and a transmission layer. The first grounding grid layer is formed below the bottom surface of the first insulating layer and has multiple grids. The grids are arranged in an array pattern and are made of metal, and each grid has a centerline and a shape. Centerlines of adjacent grids are separated by a first distance. The transmission layer is formed on the top surface of the first insulating layer and has at least one transmission line and a datum line. The datum line corresponds to the centerline of one of the grids and is separated from the transmission line by a second distance. The second distance can be quarters of the first distance. Since the characteristic impedance is controlled by varying the second distance, different second distance results in different characteristic impedance.

  • Publication number: 20030098350
    Abstract: A counterfeit money detecting barcode scanner comprising a body with a scan light source, a lens and a CCD or CMOS image sensor inside. When the scan light source aims at and injects light beam to a barcode label, the reflected barcode label image is received and converted to digital signals by the CCD or CMOS image sensor; the digital signals will be stored or transmitted out for further usage. An ultraviolet light source is in the light injection or the reflected light direction; an independent switch can turn the ultraviolet light source on or off to detect counterfeit money.
