Abstract: A first signal generated from a signal generator may be synchronized with a local clock of a first device at a first time, and sent to a second device, the first signal having a first frequency. A second signal generated from the signal generator may be further synchronized with the local clock of the first device at a second time, the second signal having a second frequency different from the first frequency, and a difference between the second time and the first time being within a predetermined range of a predetermined time difference. The second signal may then be sent to the second device to enable the second device to determine a distance between the first device and the second device based at least in part on a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal.

Abstract: An impedance adjusting device includes a power output port, a ground terminal, a capacitor assembly including at least one capacitor, and a power output port. The power input port is electronically connected to a switching power supply, and the capacitor is electronically connected between the power input port and the ground terminal. The capacitor is connected in parallel to an output capacitor of the switching power supply to regulate a flat impedance of the switching power supply when an audio signal is played at full 20 Hz to 20 KHz frequencies at the same output audio voltage level.

Abstract: The present invention is an impedance adjusting device and includes a power output port, a ground terminal, a capacitor assembly including at least one capacitor, and a power output port. The power input port is electronically connected to a power converting circuit of a switching power supply, and the capacitor is electronically connected between the power input port and the ground terminal. The capacitor is connected in parallel to an output capacitor of the power converting circuit to stabilize an impedance of the switching power supply when an audio signal is played at different frequencies. Therefore the audio signal can be played without distortions.

Abstract: A flexible and extensible architecture allows for secure searching across an enterprise. Such an architecture can provide a simple Internet-like search experience to users searching secure content inside (and outside) the enterprise. The architecture allows for the crawling and searching of a variety or of sources across an enterprise, regardless of whether any of these sources conform to a conventional user role model. The architecture further allows for security attributes to be submitted at query time, for example, in order to provide real-time secure access to enterprise resources. The user query also can be transformed to provide for dynamic querying that provides for a more current result list than can be obtained for static queries.

Abstract: A boxing equipment frame assembly, wherein the frame assembly is capable of supporting a plurality of punching bags including a speed bag and a heavy bag. The frame assembly includes a speed bag support assembly that includes a sliding bracket. The bracket serves as the means of connecting the speed bag support assembly to the main equipment frame. By using a sliding bracket that moves independently of the main support frame, the height of the speed bag can be adjusted without displacing any of the additional components attached to the frame. A piston is provided to apply a continuous upward force to the sliding bracket. In applying a continuous upward force the user has to put in less effort and a greater degree of control is achieved in adjusting the height of the speed bag.

Abstract: An exercise device used to provide resistance to the contraction of a muscle during weight lifting. The exercise device consists of a handle with two weighted members connected on opposing ends of the handle. The weighted members are connected through a press fit manufacturing technique. Each opposing end of the handle has at least one channel about the periphery of the handle ends that is used to collect metal shavings generated during the press fit manufacturing process. By collecting the metal shavings, a connection that not only has a tight tolerance, but also has few imperfections at the interface between the flushed surfaces is created.
