Patent number: 10978241Abstract: According to some aspects of the present disclosure, transformers having a screen layer and corresponding methods of winding transformers and are disclosed. Example transformers include at least one transformer core, at least one primary winding layer wound about the transformer core, and at least one secondary winding layer wound about the transformer core. The secondary winding layer includes a secondary winding wire having a width and a number of turns per layer. The transformer also includes at least one screen layer wound about the transformer core and disposed between the primary winding layer and the secondary winding layer. The screen layer includes a screen wire having substantially the same width as the secondary winding wire and substantially the same number of turns per layer as the secondary winding wire, to reduce common mode noise in the secondary winding layer.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Astec International LimitedInventors: Rex William James Whittle, Chi Wai Kevin Wong

Patent number: 10720011Abstract: A system has a database that stores a plurality of pre-recorded video clips of real-world sports game events. Further, the system has a game engine processor that determines that a wager time period for a corresponding virtual sports game has completed. The game engine processor also determines an outcome of the virtual sports game subsequent to the determination that the wager time period has completed. Moreover, the game engine processor selects a pre-recoded clip from the plurality of pre-recorded clips that corresponds to the outcome. Finally, the game engine processor links the pre-recorded video clips as a base video layer to one or more overlay video layers. The wager time period is a period of time in which one or more user inputs are permitted to be received at a computing device that renders the virtual sports game.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Highlight Games LimitedInventors: Timothy Patrick Jonathan Green, Stewart James Whittle, Angus Wood, Chris Latter

Patent number: 6966843Abstract: A method and system is therefore provided for fitting a set of golf clubs to a particular golfer. In particular, the club fitting method and system assists a golfer in the selection of a set of golf clubs by providing objective indicia or scores representative of the manner in which the golfer hits golf shots with each of a number of different golf clubs. The club fitting method and system provide the golfer with numerical values representative of the consistency and performance of the golf shots made with a particular golf club, typically on an automatic basis. Based upon the relative numerical values representative of the consistency and performance of the golf shots made with a number of different golf clubs, the golfer can select the set of golf clubs which provides the combination of consistency and performance that is best suited for the golfer's game.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1999Date of Patent: November 22, 2005Assignee: Accu-Sport International, Inc.Inventors: David Benjamin Rankin, James Whittle Kluttz
