Abstract: A golf training device for practicing putting, chipping, or other golf shots includes a target suspended from a support frame. The diameter of the target simulates the diameter of a standard golf cup, and the height of the target above the surface is adjustable via one or more adjustment mechanisms so that the golf training device can be used on actual golf course surfaces. A lower base provides a containment area for golf balls hit into the device, a resilient cover on the lower base absorbs the impact of hit golf balls and directs them into the containment area. The device is easily repositioned via a carrying handle, and folds via hinge mechanisms to provide compact storage.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed that enable an electronic document signature service to ensure that it stores electronic documents on servers within particular geographic boundaries by tracking and verifying the geographic locations of the servers. The service uses data received from the servers that identifies the geographic locations of the servers. The service also verifies the geographic locations of the servers based on network information associated with the sending of the data. One exemplary technique involves receiving data that includes geographic location identifiers that identify the geographic locations of the servers. The technique further involves verifying the geographic locations of the servers based on geographic locations associated with Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of network locations from which the data was sent.

Abstract: A wheeled, carrying device is disclosed, comprising of a frame and multiple platforms thereattached and angled at each end to hold firewood or other long rectangular items. On a front end of the device there are two handles for the user to direct the device. Vertical legs on a first end of the frame support the device when the user is not transporting articles. On the opposing end of the frame is a wheel attached thereto for rolling the device similar to a wheelbarrow. The device provides a user with a convenient means for transporting large quantities of wood without the limitations of a standard wheelbarrow container.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system method and software for user customizable device insertion. A new device is to be inserted in a loop based network such as an FC-AL network. The network is facilitated by a dedicated networking element, such as a switch. In order to ensure that the new device does not adversely affect the network, the new device is tested before it is inserted. Several tests are provided and the user is allowed to choose which tests are to be used. Alternatively, the user is allowed to define his/her own tests. The device is inserted into the network only after it has satisfactorily completed the applicable tests.

Abstract: The synchronization of trunk failover between two FC-AL switches when a primary trunk failure occurs is disclosed. If primary trunk T1 should fail, S1 bypasses the cascade port and sends a MaRK (MRK) ordered set out over duplicate trunk T2 to switch S2. In response, S2 sends an acknowledgement MRK ordered set over T2 back to S1. S1 then reconfigures the switch to establish T2 as the primary trunk, and acts as a masters in the failover process and initiates LIP ordered sets which are communicated to all devices in the system to initialize them. Note that when S2 receives the MRK ordered set and acknowledges it by sending an acknowledgement MRK back to S1, it acts as a slave in the failover process and does not attempt to initiate LIPs, thereby eliminating the possibility of multiple Loop Initialization cycles and reducing the time in which data cannot be transmitted.

Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus including a rolling contact bearing are disclosed.

Abstract: A valve lash measurement device is provided for an internal combustion engine having an articulated valve train including a rocker arm having a bore at one end that receives a valve abutting shoe having an uneven surface. A fixed geometry reference surface is attached to a spring loaded base insertable into the bore. A weight connected to an arm and hook with a fulcrum in between is movable along a reference plate to pivot the rocker arm between its extremes of movement. A dial indicator abuts the reference surface and indicates the relative displacement between the extremes of movement and therefore the lash.

Abstract: A printhead assembly includes a carrier having a first side and a second side contiguous with the first side, a plurality of printhead dies each mounted on the first side of the carrier, an electrical circuit including a first portion disposed on the first side of the carrier and a second portion disposed on the second side of the carrier, and a plurality of electrical connectors each electrically coupled to the first portion of the electrical circuit and one of the printhead dies. The electrical circuit has a plurality of openings defined in the first portion thereof such that each of the openings are sized to accommodate one of the printhead dies, and has a first side facing the carrier and a second side opposite the first side thereof such that each of the electrical connectors are electrically coupled to the second side of the electrical circuit and one of the printhead dies.

Abstract: A wide-array inkjet printhead assembly includes a carrier having a first side and a second side contiguous with the first side, and a plurality of printhead dies each mounted on the first side of the carrier. An electrical circuit is disposed on the first side and the second side of the carrier. As such, a plurality of electrical connectors are each electrically coupled to the electrical circuit and one of the printhead dies.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product provides an indication to a programmer of the efficiency of a created program and comprises monitoring of insertion and deletion of one or more functions within the program and determining a performance statistic for the function which is indicative of the efficiency of the function. A humanly perceptible output is provided to the programmer which is reflective of the performance statistic of the function to provide an indication to the programmer related to the efficiency of the created program.

Abstract: An inkjet printhead assembly includes a substrate having a non-planar surface and a plurality of adhesive quantities each disposed on the non-planar surface of the substrate. As such, a plurality of printhead dies are each adhered to the non-planar surface of the substrate by one of the adhesive quantities. A thickness of at least one of the adhesive quantities varies from the thickness of another of the adhesive quantities such that the thickness of the adhesive quantities compensates for the non-planar surface of the substrate. Thus, the adhesive quantities support the printhead dies and establish a substantially coplanar relationship among the printhead dies.

The substrate has an electrical circuit formed therein such that the printhead dies are electrically coupled to the electrical circuit and the electrical interconnect is electrically coupled to the electrical circuit. As such, the substructure accommodates the electrical interconnect.

Abstract: A seismically triggered valve is designed to shut off gas supply during an earthquake. A valve member is pivoted within a valve body, the valve member being mechanically movable to the open position. A magnet is fixed to the valve member, and a ferromagnetic ball is free on a concave surface. The center of the concave surface is aligned with the magnet; but, when the valve is shaken, the ball moves and releases the magnet. The valve member moves by gravity, but is assisted by a spring bias towards the closed position. A control rod can engage the valve member to open the valve, and can mechanically close the valve if desired. Further, a bleed passage connecting the valve body with the outlet is controlled by the control rod selectively to bleed off pressure within the valve body. The valve body is formed integrally. with an open top, and the sensor is received within the open top to close the top and properly locate the sensor.
