Abstract: A sensor frame assembly that includes a plurality of extrusion members removeably attached to each other defining a walk through frame assembly. The extrusion members have an outer profile and a hollow interior space. The extrusion members include a top portion coupled to separated side portions. Each of the plurality of extrusion members includes a length that is less than four feet when disassembled. Each of the plurality of extrusion members includes a rectangular sectional outer profile wherein one corner of the rectangular profile is truncated at an angle forming a mounting surface. The mounting surface is angled relative to an orthogonal side of the outer profile.

Abstract: A mast fairing for a sailboat includes an upper fairing and an optional lower fairing configured to reduce turbulent airflow over the upwind and downwind sides of a sail. The upper fairing includes a fairing wrap includes a central segment configured to wrap around a mast, a left-side panel, a right-side panel, and a sail track attached to trailing edges of the left- and right-side panels. One or more fairing supports are optionally attached to the sail track between the left- and right-side panels of the fairing wrap. The optional lower fairing includes a central segment, a left-side panel, and a right-side panel configured for installation on a mast and boom below the upper fairing. The upper and lower fairings reduce turbulent airflow over the surfaces of a sail and increase regions of laminar airflow to improve the performance of the sail.

Abstract: A sail comprising a rotating flexible mast sleeve wrap surrounding the mast and attached to a sail track for controlling the movement of the sail. The sleeve assembly is slotted to allow for partial rotation of the sleeve wrap, the sail track and the sail, so that the sleeve wrap, the sail track and the sail rotate to form an aerodynamic shape on the lee side of the rotating flexible mast reducing aerodynamic losses.

Abstract: A block with soft loop connection system comprising an attachment to the block of two soft loops such that at least a first soft loop end is able to be passed through one or more load bearing members and then back around a shoulder attached to at least a first side of the block. The soft loops' lengths causing the block to be self-aligning.

Abstract: An apparatus is described that permits attaching, via a holder or container, one or more pieces, e.g., drill and/or driver bits, to a drill. Such attachment makes it possible to transport drill and/or driver bits or other drill pieces with the drill, preventing the need to search within a toolbox or cabinet for the particular drill bit needed to satisfy drilling and/or driving requirements.

Abstract: A virtual keyboard is configured to display, at a display device, keys having primary, secondary, or tertiary elements. These elements are selected through one or more clicks on the key. In response to the number of received clicks, the element is entered as text or images in an application in communication with the virtual keyboard. Also, in response to user input, a prompt area on the display device is populated with text or images that can also be selected instead of elements on the keys. The keys and prompt area can be distributed on a single computing device or across multiple computing devices.

Abstract: An aircraft is described that has: at least one primary engine configured to operate when the aircraft takes-off, lands, and cruises in a cruise mode; and at least one secondary engine configured to operate when the aircraft takes-off and lands. The drag of the aircraft can be reduced or minimized by: turning off the at least one secondary engine when the aircraft cruises in the cruise mode; opening cowlings covering the at least one secondary engine when the aircraft takes-off and lands, and closing them when the aircraft cruises in the cruise mode; and/or move the at least one secondary engine into the airstream when the aircraft takes-off and lands, and move the at least one secondary engine out of the airstream when the aircraft cruises in the cruise mode. Related apparatuses, systems, methods, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: A tournament scoring program on a tournament server may receive data sanctioned by a tournament provider from a first database via a network connection. The data may include a player identification identifying a player from a group of players of an independent tournament event. The data may also include a value corresponding to the player and the independent tournament event. Cumulative score data may be generated by the tournament scoring program for the player based on the values received or a cumulative score accessed from the tournament server. Ranking data may be generated, by the tournament scoring program, for the group of players based on the cumulative score data. The tournament scoring program may transmit, from the tournament server to a website, the cumulative score data and the ranking data.

Abstract: A first media segment, for example a rebroadcast, is assembled that includes a portion of second media segment, for example an independent tournament event. The second media segment is longer in duration than first media segment. The second media segment is a media recording of one of the major golf tournaments or a sub-major golf tournament. The first media segment includes a portion of a major golf tournament combined with a portion of a sub-major golf tournament. A portion (or multiple portions) of the second media segment is extracted as part of assembling the first media segment. The portion(s) are combined to form the first media segment (e.g. the rebroadcast, summary, or recap). A broadcast system transmits, to a media receiver, the first media segment at a predefined time after the tournaments corresponding to the second media segment have been completed.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH121393. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH121393, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH121393 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH121393.
