Abstract: A method for a predicting golfer's performance is disclosed herein. The method inputs the pre-impact swing properties of a golfer, a plurality of mass properties of a first golf club, and a plurality of mass properties of a first golf ball into a rigid body code. Ball launch parameters are generated from the rigid body. The ball launch parameters, a plurality of atmospheric conditions and lift and drag properties of the golf ball are inputted into a trajectory code. This trajectory code is used to predict the performance of a golf ball if struck by the golfer with the golf club under the atmospheric conditions. The method can then predict the performance of the golf ball if struck by the golfer with a different golf club. The method and system of the present invention predict the performance of the golf ball without the golfer actually striking the golf ball.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that provide network access control are disclosed. In one embodiment, a network device is configured to intercept network traffic initiated from a client and directed toward a network resource, and to locally authenticate the client. Authentication is carried out by comparing information identifying the client to authentication information stored in the network device. In one embodiment, an authentication cache in the network device stores the authentication information. If the client identifying information is authenticated successfully against the stored authentication information, the network device is dynamically re-configured to allow network traffic initiated by the client to reach the network resource. If local authentication fails, new stored authentication is created for the client, and the network device attempts to authenticate the client using a remote authentication server.

Abstract: A method (100) and system (20) for predicting a coefficient of restitution (COR) of a golf club (30) or golf club head (36) is disclosed herein. The system (20) and method (100) are able to predict the COR in a non-destructive manner for a particular golf ball and impact speed. The system (20) and method (100) utilize a vibration sensor (24) attached to the face (34) of a golf club (30). The vibration sensor (24) is excited with an excitation device (26), and data is transmitted to an analyzer (22). A mathematical model of the golf club (30) is created allowing for the coefficient of restitution to be predicted without destroying the golf club (30).

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for grouping the network entities that belong to a network system into logical groups, and generating a display of the network based on the logical groups. In the highest level display, a single visual indicator, such as an icon, is used to represent each logical group. Thus, a display of the entire network system need only contain as many visual indicators as there are logical groups. Typically, the number of logical groups will be significantly less than the number of actual network resources. Consequently, entire large network systems may be displayed without crowding the display screen with small, difficult to read icons. The logical groups are formed based on the type of connections that exist between the various logical entities in the network. Site groups are formed by combining all local area network connections that connection common network entities. Region groups are formed by combining all wide area network connections that connect common network entities.

Abstract: A system and method for accomplishing a plurality of combinatorial processes in parallel comprising a microelectronic and fluidic array (device array) having micron-sized reservoirs, connecting microchannels and reaction cells etched into a substrate. The device array is supported by a station which serves to interface and perform electro-optic measurements of material in the reaction cells of the device array. The device array incorporates a modular configuration with three distinct layers or plates. The device array comprises a top feedthru plate, a center distribution plate and a bottom cell plate. The three plates are stacked vertically and coupled together to form a liquid-tight seal. Reservoirs, microchannels and reactions cells are controllably etched onto the plates using traditional semiconductor fabrication techniques. The top feedthru plate serves as a cover for the device array and contains apertures selectively positioned above the reservoirs located in the center distribution plate.
