Abstract: The present invention provides a power plug for insertion into a cigarette lighter socket for powering an electronic device. The invention includes a housing and electrical contacts and a two-conductor cable coupled to the housing for supplying power to the electronic device. An electronic circuit inside the housing controls power to the electronic device, and a switch coupled to the housing controls one or more programmable functions of the electronic device. The particular function controlled by the switch depends on the length of time the switch is depressed (e.g., greater or less then 0.5 second).

Abstract: A method for detecting radar is provided by the present invention. The invention begins by sweeping a first local oscillator (LO). Once a band has been identified as containing a radar signal, the detector interrupts its normal operation and rechecks the frequency in question for confirmation of CW radar, rather than waiting for the initial sweep to finish. Upon receiving partial information from the initial fast sweep, the detector may repeat this sweep at a slower rate in order to improve sensitivity towards a CW source. If information was from a CW source one can be assured to see the information again when sweeping the same frequency. By contrast, if initial information is from a swept radar detector the information will not be present in the rescan, as the offending radar detector would have moved to a different frequency during the same period of time.

Abstract: A detector device for detecting the presence of a speed detection system which includes a displaying means which pivots in relation to the device's housing thereby allowing a user to selectively adjust the orientation of the display to maximize the display's visual output without detracting from the alignment/orientation of the device's detection means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a golf bag and golf bag divider insert having ten full length partitions within the club compartment of the bag that effectively separates the clubs within the bag's club compartment. A method for fabricating a partitioned golf bag or golf bag divider insert to provide ten full length compartments within the club compartment of the bag that effectively separates the clubs within the bag's club compartment is also presented. The golf bag divider comprises a tubular outer wall, a central divider assembly bisecting the tube formed by the outer wall and four side divider assemblies stitched to the central divider assembly further partitioning the tube into ten full length compartments.
