  • Publication number: 20250099808
    Abstract: A system for predicting a resting position of a golf ball may use ball tracking sensor data to identify an impact location of the ball. Modeling of ball movement following impact may be performed that incorporates measured ball impact physics, impact coordinates, and material properties of ground or objects to which the impact coordinates correspond and, together with historical shot data corresponding to the impact coordinates or an encompassing zone, bounce and roll behavior and/or final resting position predictions may be generated.

  • Patent number: 7102389
    Abstract: A voltage translator with data buffer includes an input inverter receiving a data input signal at a first voltage level. A level shifting cross-coupled NOR circuit is coupled to the input inverter for translating the data input signal at a second voltage level. An output stage driven by the level shifting cross-coupled NOR circuit for providing a data output signal at the second voltage level. The voltage translator enables improved performance across various power, voltage and temperature (PVT) conditions and reliably reduces or minimizes shoot through current and delay.

  • Patent number: 6903136
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dietary or food supplement for healthy humans that includes a combination of 4-hydroxyisoleucine and creatine, or nutraceutically acceptable derivatives of these two compounds. The supplement may include additives such as carbohydrates or amino acids. The invention further includes a regimen for supplementing a healthy athlete's diet by administering on a regular basis to the athlete 4-hydroxyisoleucine and creatine, or nutraceutically acceptable derivatives of these two compounds. The invention also provides a method for enhancing the body's absorption and utilization of a nutrient, comprising administering 4-hydroxyisoleucine or a nutraceutically acceptable derivative thereof in combination with the nutrient.

  • Patent number: 6172522
    Abstract: A digital CMOS predriver circuit pulls an output node up and down with accurately controlled rise and fall times in the threshold region. Resistors independently set rise and fall slew rates while additional CMOS devices initially charge and discharge the output node. The additional devices turn off before the output reaches the threshold region.
