  • Publication number: 20240164457
    Abstract: A sport bottom wear having an integrated ball holder is disclosed. The sport bottom wear includes a waistband having a front waistband portion and a back waistband portion, a front fabric connected to the front waistband portion that is configured to be worn at a front side of a person, a back fabric connected to the back waistband portion that is configured to be worn at a back side of the person, and a ball holder non-removably secured to an outer surface of the front fabric.

  • Publication number: 20050276102
    Abstract: A system and method for limiting energy to an industrial control system is described. The method includes receiving a supply voltage, limiting the supply voltage so as to generate a limited voltage, and providing the limited voltage to a field transducer, the field transducer being disposed to monitor a parameter of the industrial process. A field current, that is generated in response to the limited voltage, is received from the field transducer and the field current is indicative of a magnitude of the parameter under normal operating conditions. During a fault condition, the field current is restricted with a variable resistance that is responsive to an amount of thermal energy generated during the fault condition so as to limit an amount of energy drawn by the control system.

  • Patent number: 6504603
    Abstract: Described is a method for determining whether a brown egg contains undesired matter such as blood. In two wavelength ranges the transmission of the egg is examined, one of those wavelength ranges corresponding to an absorption peak of blood. The transmission signal of the other wavelength range is corrected with a fixed fraction &ggr; to correct for the egg being brown.
