  • Publication number: 20220289324
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a mobile golf simulation system, more particularly, a double-bayed golf simulator apparatus mounted to a wheeled trailer that may be readily transported and deployed to remote, particularly outdoor locations. The mobile golf simulation system of the present invention is uniquely designed to include a projection system installed beneath a floating floor that, along with right and left drop-down walls, allows for the creation of an open air platform from which a user may play a realistic form of virtual golf, hitting his ball into a built-in screen.

  • Publication number: 20070035856
    Abstract: A multi-axis positioner comprising: a fixed part (40) having drive mounts (42, 44, 46) for receiving a plurality of drive inputs and a movable part (30) having surfaces for attaching a sample, wherein multiple drive trains, one for each of up to six motion axes, connect the drive inputs to the movable part. The whole device has a cuboid shape with the movable part fitting inside one corner. All the motion axes are driven by access through the two internally facing sides of the movable part, leaving all other sides free for sample mounting and/or external access. The whole device can be mounted in any orientation, e.g. on its side or upside down. It has flat mounting surfaces on each side, on the top and bottom and on the front. Only the rear is not available for mounting, since it is reserved as a drive input face for receiving the micrometer, or other, drives.
