  • Publication number: 20220032813
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic control of a configuration of electrical circuits are provided. An example system includes a plurality of electric power sources and a plurality of switches configured to connect and disconnect some of the electric power sources. The system may include a controller coupled to the switches. The controller may be configured to enable and disable the switches to cause a change in a configuration of the connections between the electric power sources. The electric power sources can include at least one generator and at least two batteries. The controller can be further configured to cause a change in the configuration to connect the two batteries in series to a load for discharging and connect the two batteries in parallel to the generator for recharging.

  • Patent number: 6553575
    Abstract: A golf glove including a tab which spans a slit on a back portion of the glove has a removable ball marker connected to the tab. A top surface of a ball marker is substantially flush with a ridge on the tab. A rubber insert having a hole therein receives a back surface of the ball marker within a recessed portion defined within the ridge. A socket is located within the hole of the rubber insert to receive a prong which is connected to the back surface of the ball marker.

  • Patent number: 6519776
    Abstract: A golf ball marker for use with a golf glove including a tab which spans a slit on a back portion of the glove. A top surface of a ball marker is substantially flush with a ridge on the tab. A rubber insert having a hole therein receives a back surface of the ball marker within a recessed portion defined within the ridge. A socket is located within the hole of the rubber insert to receive a prong which is connected to the back surface of the ball marker. The ball marker is formed with a recess in the bottom surface to receive a base of a stud member so that the stud extends away from the bottom surface of the ball marker and the interfacing surface of the base is substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the ball marker.
