  • Patent number: 8721467
    Abstract: This swing trainer is a full swing trainer designed to produce what is known in golf vernacular as “the classic swing”. Its attributes are as follows: It trains both the back swing and the forward swing. The golfer can hit balls with it at a driving range, or practice his swing in his garage or yard without actually hitting balls. It assembles in less than one minute and can be broken down and transported in a canvas “chair-type” bag. It adjusts for the skill and the height of the golfer, and for right or left-handed golfers. When the golf club is properly gripped and swung along the paths dictated by the guidelines of this swing trainer, an ideal ball flight is produced. Its most effective feature is the visual images provided for the golfer of the proper paths for the club head.

  • Publication number: 20060130007
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for automating translation of language specific constructs to UML (Unified Modeling Language) during wizard workflow. The invention provides an integration of UML mapping within the wizards that are available within integrated development environments (IDE's). As the user specifies the language specific details within a wizard, the appropriate corresponding UML element (depiction) is drawn and displayed within the wizard. This provides a user with an automated visual depiction of his work utilizing UML and yet allows him to work in the programming language of the wizard. Further, this allows the user to learn UML. Other modeling languages may be applied.
