Publication number: 20230218968Abstract: A golf green topographic overlay and target assist apparatus assists players develop their short game by demarking the fall line of a green on the low side of a target area or cup. The overlay includes a sight area which is placed over top of a target area or cup. The player shoots upon the green proper, the ball ending upon the overlay. If ending in the sight area, then the player has holed the shot. If the shot ends upon the overlay, but outside of the sight area, then the player has misjudged the break but has used the correct amount of force to properly hole the shot had the break been properly judged. The overlay is useful for practicing on actual greens where a player is apt to play.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventor: Kenneth Walter CARLSON

Patent number: 11604720Abstract: Based on replay of a thread, one implementation observes an influx of a value of a memory cell comprising an interaction between the thread and the value of the memory cell at an execution time point in the replaying, and determines whether the value of the memory cell observed from the influx is inconsistent with a prior value of the memory cell as known by the thread at the execution time point. If so, this implementation initiates an indication of a data inconsistency. Based on replay of a plurality of threads, another implementation identifies a memory cell that was accessed by a first thread while a thread synchronization mechanism was active on the first thread. Then, if there was another access to the memory cell by a second thread without use of the thread synchronization mechanism, this implementation initiates an indication of a potential data contention.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Del Myers, Jackson Michael Davis, Thomas Lai, Andrew R.

Publication number: 20230034375Abstract: A plate assembly for stabilizing a bone is provided. The plate assembly includes a fixation plate having rails that form a window. The plate assembly includes a band having a tail and a head. The head defines an internal cavity configured to receive a portion of the tail. The fixation plate is configured to be positioned proximate to a bone. The head is configured to be at least partially received within the window. Further, the band is configured to be wrapped around the fixation plate and the bone, and the internal cavity of the head is configured to receive an end of the tail to form a loop. The band is configured to receive a tension force to tighten the loop formed by the band. The band may passively engage the fixation plate so that bands may be easily removed from windows when no tension is applied to the band.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Kenneth Walter Richardson, Louis A.

Patent number: 11138093Abstract: Identifying and reporting potential data inconsistencies and/or potential data contentions based on historic debugging traces.

If so, these implementations can initiate an indication of a data inconsistency.
