Publication number: 20150281883Abstract: A method for determining the locations of sensor devices in a sensor array in a structure is disclosed. The method may include placing a sensor device at a location. The method may also include receiving, at a mobile device, an identifier of the sensor device. The method may further include determining, by the mobile device, a compass direction and elevation angle from the sensor device to a base station. The method may additionally include determining a distance between the sensor device and the base station. The method may moreover include determining a location of the sensor device based at least in part on the compass direction and the elevation angle from the sensor device to the base station, and the distance between the sensor device and the base station. The method may furthermore include storing the location of the sensor in association with the identifier of the sensor device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2015Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventors: Ryan Margoles, Brett Jurgens

Patent number: 9079057Abstract: A method relating to an improved swing characteristic capturing system that can be used for a golf club shaft fitting system is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention utilizes specific data gathered from the golfer's golf swing itself to determine the best performing golf club shaft for this particular golf swing. Even more specifically, the present invention relates to the utilization of cameras to record the location data of a plurality of markers located on a golf club shaft throughout a swing. The current inventive fitting methodology is preferred to the archaic fitting method of using data gathered from the result orientated ball flight data together with a tedious process of having to try numerous different shafts.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Acushnet CompanyInventors: Ryan Margoles, Gregory D.
