Abstract: A golf club head cover comprises an enclosure formed by a pair of complementary cover sections connected to pivot about a manually actuated spring-biased clip member. The clip member normally biases the cover sections into a closed condition adapted to enclose a head of a golf club. The clip member includes a pair of handle elements projecting outward from the enclosure that are adapted to be gripped between the thumb and one or more fingers by a user and depressed towards each other to move the cover sections so they pivot and spread apart into an open condition. The user grips the handle elements with one hand and depresses them so the enclosure is in the open condition. While maintaining a grip on the handle elements to keep the enclosure in the open condition, the user with his or her other hand places the head of a golf club between the spread apart cover sections, or withdraws the head, as the case may be.

Abstract: A hypersensitive semiconductor die structure is disclosed, in which flip-chip packaging is used in conjunction with a modified SOI die in which a thick silicon support substrate has been removed to increase sensitivity of the sensing device. Rather than being located beneath layers of interconnects and dielectric, the disclosed structure places the sensing devices close to the surface, more closely exposed to the environment in which sensing is to occur. The structure also allows for the placement of sensing films on nearer to the sensing devices and/or an oxide layer overlying the sensing devices.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package includes a thermally and electrically conductive package lid. The package lid may be in electrical communication with an electrically conductive pad connected to a power plane, ground plane, or signal route in the integrated circuit. The electrically conductive package lid may provide an electrical connection for electrical power or electrical signals or may serve as an electrical ground. In some embodiments, the package lid may include a thermally and electrically conductive material. In other embodiments, the package lid may include an electrically insulative substrate coated on at least one surface with a layer of metal or another conductive material. The conductive layer may be electrically connected to electrical ground, a reference voltage, or a signal pay by at least one electrically conductive via.

Abstract: A media system is provided having synchronized multiple camera signals of at least one event or activity for transmission over the internet to end users for selective display and/or manipulation. The media system may provide that end users are able to select and view and manipulate one or more of the multiple streaming video signals at will. The media system may be used in connection with a great variety of events or activities, including without limitation concerts, sports events, political events, sales events, movie premiers, public events, training events and religious events. A method is also provided having synchronized camera signals of at least one event or activity for transmission over the internet to end users for selective display and/or manipulation. The multiple camera signals are provided to end users for selective display and/or manipulation by end users.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a wind turbine connected to a utility grid during a utility grid disturbance. The method comprises the steps of controlling active current in dependency of the frequency deviation from a reference frequency, and controlling reactive current in dependency of the voltage deviation from a reference voltage. The invention also relates to a wind turbine and wind park.

Abstract: The present invention features a unique carrying device for carrying a cartable item, wherein the carrying device is formed of a rigid structure and comprises means for engaging a first shoulder of a user, means for engaging a second shoulder of a user, means for connecting the means for engaging the first and second shoulders of a user together, means for adjusting the ergonomic configuration of the carrying device, means for releasably coupling or attaching the carrying device to a golf bag, and means for transitioning, upon elective actuation, functions to transition or convert the carrying device from a single-shoulder carrying arrangement or position to a dual-shoulder carrying arrangement or position.

Abstract: An agricultural harvesting machine includes a feeder housing and a cutting platform. The cutting platform includes a center platform section carried by the feeder housing.
