  • Publication number: 20230113642
    Abstract: Systems and methods of optical transcutaneous oxygenation monitoring. The oxygenation monitor comprises a photoluminescent oxygen-sensitive probe, a photon source positioned to direct photons at the probe, a photodetector positioned to detect light emitted from the probe when the photon source directs photons at the probe, a controller in electrical communication with the photon source and the photodetector, the controller being configured to execute a program stored in the controller to calculate a level of oxygen adjacent the probe from an electrical signal received from the photodetector. The photon source, the photodetector, and the controller are disposed in or on a support structure.

  • Patent number: 6988954
    Abstract: A weed cutting golf club includes a shaft terminating in a clubhead, the clubhead defining a compartment having a downwardly directed opening. A power source is carried by one of the clubhead and the shaft. A motor is carried within the compartment and coupled to the power source. A drive shaft extends in a downward direction from the motor through the opening and terminates in a hub. Cutting members extend from the hub.
