  • Publication number: 20240325859
    Abstract: A score tracking system may include a tracking module, companion device, and location system. The tracking module may be configured to be carried by a player competing in a golf tournament. The companion device may be configured to receive an input corresponding to a stroke event and that includes a time stamp corresponding to an occurrence of the stoke event. The location system may collect or receive location data, which comprises or is used by the location system to generate a plurality of sets of location coordinates. Each set of location coordinates may correspond to a location of the tracking module at a specified time. The location system may pair the time stamp with a set of the location coordinates corresponding to the location of the tracking module at the occurrence of the stroke event.

  • Patent number: 11456143
    Abstract: A fuse holder for holding a fuse is provided that includes a body, a line side connector supported by the body, and a load side connector supported by the body. The fuse holder also includes a toggle switch supported by the body and capable of toggled engagement in a first position that provides electrical connection. The switch is also capable of toggled engagement in a second position that provides electrical isolation between the line side connector and the load side connector. The fuse holder also includes a fuse carrier. The fuse carrier is supported by the body and adapted for holding the fuse and the fuse carrier is adapted to be removed from the fuse holder. The fuse holder includes a blocking device blocking the toggled engagement of the switch from the second position to the first position when the fuse carrier is not within the fuse holder.

  • Patent number: 10889370
    Abstract: One embodiment is an apparatus including an airfoil-shaped body; and a chordwise variable vortex generation system associated with the airfoil-shaped body, the chordwise variable vortex generation system controlling a deployment of at least one vortex generator on a surface of the airfoil-shaped body, wherein the deployment of the at least one vortex generator is dependent on a current angle of attack of the airfoil-shaped body. In some embodiments, the chordwise variable vortex generation system includes an actuator for controlling a location of the deployment of the at least one vortex generator responsive to a control signal indicative of the current angle of attack of the airfoil-shaped body. In certain embodiments, the surface of the airfoil-shaped body is a top surface of the airfoil-shaped body. In some embodiments, the airfoil-shaped body is an aircraft wing.
