Abstract: A new rapid optical specific absorption rate (SAR) system is disclosed. The rapid optical SAR system has ability to measure and map the power deposited in a flat phantom or other phantom filled with a transparent simulant fluid. Absolute rates of temperature increase in the phantom by photo thermal techniques are measured. For example, the temperature increase and gradients in the phantom bend the path of a laser beam, which may be aimed at a position sensitive detector. The spatial SAR may be mapped and SAR differences between different telephones and telephone orientations, for example, can be distinguished. The system is non-invasive and non-perturbing of the SAR distribution in the phantom, can measure at locations up to the interior surface of the phantom, and provides thermally-based SAR measurements that do not necessarily require constant calibration.

Abstract: A method of putting a golf ball includes a golfer standing erect with the head up and the body facing the hole. The golf ball is positioned to the side of the golfer on his dominant side. A uniquely designed putter is grasped in the dominant hand with the grip of the putter extending upwardly along and against the dominant arm to a position above the elbow. The upper portion of the grip and the dominant arm are grasped firmly with the non-dominant hand to provide stability and the dominant arm and club are swung smoothly in a pendulum-like motion from the shoulder of the dominant arm. The result is a smooth consistent putting swing wherein the effects of flexing elbows and twisting wrists are eliminated and, ultimately, a better putting game and lower golf score. The invention also includes an unique putter for carrying out the inventive putting technique.
