Abstract: Golf regulations have recently changed so that the golf flagstick or flag no longer is required to be removed during play. It is important to be able to retrieve the ball, and this device, which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the golf club hole will be placed on the lower end of the golf flag stick. The device will be hidden from view when the flagstick is in the golf hole. The golfer retrieves the ball by pulling up on the flagstick until the ball rolls out of the cup. This device to retrieve the ball will prevent damage to the putting surface.

Abstract: Various methods and apparatuses may be used to spray sloped surfaces, such as by using a nozzle (1). The method of the invention for spraying a fluid on turf having sloped surfaces may include spraying the fluid using a flat fan spray angle between 110 and 130 degrees and an inclination angle between 4.5 and 9.0 degrees. In some implementations, spraying the fluid may include spraying the fluid using a flat fan spray angle of approximately 120 or 127 degrees. In some implementations, spraying the fluid may include spraying the fluid using an inclination angle of approximately 4.5 degrees. In some implementations, spraying the fluid may include spraying the fluid using an inclination angle of approximately 6.5 degrees. In some implementations, spraying the fluid may include spraying the fluid using an inclination angle of approximately 9.0 degrees. In some implementations, the inclination angle may include a backward facing angle.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a bayonet system for attaching a nozzle body to a nozzle turret. The bayonet system can be rotated with respect to a spray nozzle. A seal can be positioned between the spray nozzle and the nozzle turret. The seal can be compressed by moving the bayonet system without exerting any substantial torsion force on the seal. The bayonet system can help prevent unintentional disengagement of the spray nozzle.

Abstract: A method of and system for calibrating un-calibrated time information within a mobile terminal 101 is disclosed. The terminal has a receiver 203 capable of receiving signals from which calibrated time information carried by a calibrated system (a satellite positioning system) can be extracted, and a receiver 200 capable of receiving signals from which un-calibrated time information carried by an un-calibrated stable system (a cellular communications system) may be extracted. The time offset between calibrated time information extracted from the calibrated system and un-calibrated time information extracted from the un-calibrated stable system is determined at a first terminal position where the signals from the un-calibrated stable system are available, the travel times of the signals from the un-calibrated stable system are known or determined, and the signals from the calibrated system are available.

Abstract: Intraurethral devices and methods for controlling urinary incontinence are disclosed. An intraurethral device in accordance with an illustrative embodiment may include an elongated sheath, a bladder retention element, a meatal retention element, and an adjustable bladder control valve that can be used to regulate the flow of urine from the bladder. An optional adjustment tool may be inserted into the bladder control valve and rotated to either increase or decrease the opening pressure of the valve, as desired.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a packing control system for a rear loading, rear discharge refuse packing body that enables adjustability in the overall weight distribution of the packed refuse. The packing density control system involves controlling the resistance of the packing/ejection panel against which refuse is packed in a rear loading refuse collection truck body so that the force necessary to cause the panel to retreat toward the front of the truck as refuse is packed in front of it can be varied in accordance with the desired density profile of the load as it is packed.

Abstract: An anti-vibration mechanism for lock nuts is disclosed. The invention is made up of a cylindrical tube having a hex nut midway along its length and external threads on each side of the hex. One of the threaded ends is adapted to have an internally threaded, knurled collar screwed onto it. To ensure this collar does not vibrate loose, a groove is machined into the threaded zone on which the knurled collar is to be screwed and an elastomeric O-ring is fitted into this groove. When the knurled sleeve is tightened, there is an increased frictional engagement between the O-ring and the threaded inner diameter of the knurled collar preventing loosening of the collar.
