Abstract: A method and system for flexible radio communications using a wideband radio includes a wideband radio and multiple separable radio definition modules, wherein the wideband radio is configured to operate over a large portion of the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum and each of the radio definition modules are configured to operate in a specific frequency band. The separability of the radio definition modules maintains the capability of the wideband radio to operate over the large portion of the RF spectrum, as well as enabling its robust and reliable operation in a specific frequency band associated with the attached radio definition module.

Abstract: System and method for optimizing composition of a pool from which members are selected to serve on market research panels are described. In one embodiment, the system includes a database comprising a plurality of member profiles and survey data associated with the members and a datamart for periodically scanning the database to discover events and subsequently logging each of the discovered events in an event log. The system further includes an offense module for periodically evaluating the event log to determine whether one of the discovered events comprises an offense committed by one of the members and logging the offense in an offense log and an audit module for performing an audit of the one of the members and logging results of the audit in an audit log.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for measuring loft and lie angles of a golf club. The apparatus includes a clamping assembly configured to secure the head of a golf club in a stationary position and a shaft sensor system having two cameras spaced apart from the clamping assembly to provide a stereoscopic view of a shaft of the club. The orientation of each of the two cameras is known relative to the face of the club head. A computing device is programmed to use information received from the two cameras to calculate loft and lie angles of the golf club.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for measuring and adjusting golf club loft and lie that provides improved accuracy without unduly weakening the club. The apparatus includes clamping assembly configured to secure a golf club head in a stationary position and a shaft sensor system having two cameras spaced apart from the clamping assembly to provide a stereoscopic view of a shaft of the club, thereby facilitating real-time calculations loft and lie angles of the club. A clamping assembly configured to securely support a club head while bending forces are applied is also provided. The clamping assembly includes a face wall positioned to support a club face of the club head and a stationary side wall positioned to support the first longitudinal edge of a club head. The clamping assembly further includes two movable constraint blocks positioned in spaced relationship to the side wall to engage the second longitudinal edge of the club head.
