Patent number: 8834286Abstract: A golf-swing training device is provided which has a straight shaft with first and second ends and a central handle. The device further includes first and second heads secured to the first and second ends of the shaft, respectively. The first head has a front surface facing a first direction and an outer edge pointing in a direction 90° from the direction the first front surface of the first head faces. The second head has a front surface facing a second direction, opposite the first direction, and an outer edge pointing in a direction 90° from the direction the front surface of the second head of the second head faces and opposite the direction that the outer edge of the first head points.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2009Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Inventor: Keith Rogers

Publication number: 20140227397Abstract: A method for hydrating yeast comprises several steps. A package comprising a thermochromic ink and an indicator is provided. A liquid is provided. The temperature of the liquid is measured by placing the package in contact with the liquid. The liquid is heated or cooled until the thermochromic ink indicates the liquid is within the predetermined temperature range. The liquid and yeast are combined. The package comprises a pouch, a thermochromic ink, and an indicator. The pouch is formed from one or more films sealed together to create an internal space. The thermochromic ink and indicator are arranged relative to each other to indicate when the liquid is within a predetermined temperature range. The thermochromic ink changes color when the liquid is within the predetermined temperature range.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2014Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: ACH Food Companies, Inc.Inventors: Paul Friedman, Robert Larkin, Kelsey Kirchhoff, Keith Roger Dierberg

Patent number: 8669876Abstract: An above-water system provides automatic alerting for possible drowning victims in swimming pools or the like. One or more electro-optical sensors are placed above the pool surface. Sequences of images are digitized and analyzed electronically to determine whether there are humans within the image, and whether such humans are moving in a manner that would suggest drowning. Effects due to glint, refraction, and variations in light, are offset automatically by the system. If a potential drowning incident is detected, the system produces an alarm sound, and/or a warning display, so that an operator can determine whether action must be taken.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2012Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: 1998 David B. and Ann E. Anderson Revocable TrustInventors: David Bradford Anderson, John Thomas Barnett, Donald Lee Hakes, Keith Roger Loss, James Paul Gormican

Patent number: 8615490Abstract: First and second partial files are read from first and second storage media, respectively, irrespective of a sequence in which the first and second storage media were originally written relative to one another. The first partial file forms a first portion of a complete file. The second partial file forms a second portion of the complete file. The first and second partial files are combined to extract and form the complete file, without dependence on re-reading the first and second storage media.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2008Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: Renew Data Corp.Inventors: Mark Jonathan Platt, Christopher Kent Pratt, Keith Roger Burns, Erik James Omberg

Patent number: 8462913Abstract: A radiation detecting apparatus includes a collimator and a detector, the collimator having a material for blocking radiation and a region that is a sector of an annulus or multiple regions in a configuration in the shape of a sector of an annulus for allowing transmission of the radiation. The detector is spaced a distance from the collimator such that when a radiation source and sample crystal material are positioned at suitable positions, the radiation is collimated by the collimator and contacts the sample a predetermined distance from the detector at multiple of locations corresponding to the region or regions of the collimator. The Bragg diffracted radiation from the crystal material at two or more and preferably all of the locations overlap at the detector.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2008Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignees: Nottingham Trent University, Cranfield UniversityInventors: Paul Evans, Keith Rogers
