Abstract: A golf ball tracking system identifies a first pixel at which a golf ball is located in a first image frame and a second pixel at which the golf ball is located in a second image frame. The system may determine that the first pixel represents a location where the golf ball impacts the golf surface based at least in part on a difference in location between the first pixel in the first image frame and the second pixel in the second image frame.

Abstract: A launch monitor for golf training includes both a continuous wave radar transmitter and a frequency modulated continuous wave radar transmitter. A first set of golf ball trajectory parameters are estimated with the continuous wave radar transmitter and a second, different set of golf ball trajectory parameters are estimated with the frequency modulated continuous wave radar transmitter. The array of transmitters and receivers may be non-uniform.

Abstract: A Collapsible Organizer for in-Vehicle Storage. The organizer provides the driver with a large, stable container for food, drinks and other items. The organizer is attachable to a seat in a vehicle either by hanging from the seat back, or alternatively, by engaging the existing seat belts. The organizer is comprised of a set of movable panels and elements that allow the organizer to be collapsed into a very compact package. The organizer is also easily expandable when desired for use, without the need for tools. The organizer has built-in handles to allow the user to easily remove the organizer from a vehicle and then carry the organizer while the drinks or other items are being held in the organizer. In addition to its ability to safely hold food and drinks, the organizer provides a generous storage area that can be used to store childrens' toys, personal carry items, and portable electronic devices. Finally, the organizer is lightweight, durable, and preferably be made primarily from plastic.

Abstract: This invention is directed to compounds which are selective antagonists for melanin concentrating hormone-1 (MCH1) receptors. The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This invention provides a pharmaceutical composition made by combining a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of this invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This invention further provides a process for making a pharmaceutical composition comprising combining a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention comprises a user adjustable variable axial length and variable pitch ceiling fan blade arm. The blade arm includes a pair of extension elements. Each element is threadably engaged with each other. At the other end of the extension elements are custom flanges for the purpose of attaching a fan blade and connecting the blade arm to a ceiling fan motor. The user can adjust the axial length and radial pitch of the blade arm by screwing in or out a threaded connection between the extension elements, and once the desired length and pitch is selected, the connection is secured by a connector, such as a hand adjustable threaded lock.
