Abstract: The present invention is a Golf Super Tag Multifunction Golf Swing Capture and Analysis device comprised of a printed circuit board mounted in a case attached to the end of the club grip or mounted along the club shaft containing sensors and electronic components. The sensor data associated with the golf club swing is processed by the microcontroller firmware that analyzes the physics of the golf swing to determine the various characteristics of the golf swing such as swing plane, club face orientation, club head speed, point of ball impact, etc. This data can be stored in onboard memory and/or relayed via Bluetooth Low Energy or other communication protocols for storage, further application processing and/or relay to web-based systems. The firmware is comprised of code that runs on the microcontroller to handle the microcontroller startup, wake up, power management, sensor control and sensor data, as well as Bluetooth (or other communication protocols).

Abstract: A method of immobilizing a low pressure spool assembly including maintaining a body of the locking tool in the annular gas path, attaching a securing portion of the body across an aperture defined through an annular wall delimiting the gas path; positioning a stop connected to the body of the locking tool into a rotary path of a given one of the sets of blades of the low pressure spool assembly; and rotating the high pressure spool assembly thereby biasing a blade of the given set of blades of the low pressure spool assembly against the stop, thereby immobilizing the low pressure spool assembly. A locking tool and a method of performing engine maintenance are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides derivatives of efavirenz and methods of making derivatives of efavirenz. The derivatives include immunogenic compounds for producing antibodies to efavirenz and labeled efavirenz tracers. These compounds are useful in immunoassay methods for determining efavirenz.

Abstract: Analogs of 6-monoacetyl morphine (6-MAM) are described. These include analogs derivatized at either the C-3 position, the C-6 position, or the nor position of the molecule. These analogs allow for elaboration with linkers terminated by a functional group such as an activated ester, the functional groups being useful for attaching the molecule to other entities such as proteins, polysaccharides, and reporter groups.

Abstract: Activated haptens useful for generating immunogens to HIV protease inhibitors, immunogens useful for producing antibodies to HIV protease inhibitors, and antibodies and labeled conjugates useful in immunoassays for the HIV protease inhibitor saquinavir. The novel haptens feature an activated functionality at the central, non-terminal hydroxyl group. Also described are monoclonal antibodies specific for saquinavir having less than 10% cross-reactivity with lopinavir, nelfinavir, amprenavir, ritonavir, and indinavir, and a murine hybridoma producing said antibodies.

Abstract: A personal golfing assistant system is comprised of software running on a PDA attached directly or remotely to a GPS receiver that enables the user to survey and/or electronically capture geophysical golf data. A handheld device connected to or integrated with a GPS receiver can instead be used. Software allows a golfer to use a handheld PDA/GPS unit during the course of play to mark a ball location automatically and/or determine the distance to golf course targets and/or objects, and to analyze golf related data and generate statistics. The system can send a set of parameters tailored for a specific course to a real time tunable GPS to adjust for optimal performance and can adjust measurements to compensate for environmental condition changes.

Abstract: A blade for use in a tire mold, a combination of the blade with the tire mold, and a method of attaching the blade to the tire mold. An edge portion of the blade is received in a slot in the tire mold, and a body portion extends therefrom to form a sipe in a tire. One or a pair of tab portions attached to the edge portion is received in an indent in the slot, and a wedge forces the tab portion or portions into a locked position as the blade is driven into the slot. A break-away tendon or tendons attach the wedge to the tab portion or portions and break to allow wedge movement for achieving the locked position when the blade is driven into the slot. Alternatively, a wedge is pre-positioned in an housing in the indent whereby blade tab portions move into a locked position upon contact with the wedge. The mold is engraved, and the blade is formed by laser or water jet cutting.
