Title: Golf exerciser
Inventor: KIM YONG WOO
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 2003-02-13
Abstract: A golf swing exerciser uses two lengths of resistance cords (14,15) or tensi on elements connected to an exercising handle (25) so that one of the cords extends to an upper resistance region on a back swing side of the exerciser and the other resistance cord extends between upper and lower resistance regions on a back swing side of the exerciser. The cord from the upper resistance region resists downward movement of an exercising handle from a back swing region, and the cord extending between the upper and lower resistance regions resists lateral movement of the handle into a hitting region. The combined resistance of both cords significantly increases as the handle moves into the hitting region.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un diffuseur (10) apte à diffuser une ou plusieurs matières à infuser dans une matière hôte. Dans le diffuseur selon l'invention, un rotor (12) et un stator (30) tournent l'un par rapport à l'autre et les matières à infuser sont entraînées à travers des ouvertures (22) dans le rotor et le stator. Ces ouvertures (22) provoquent également une turbulence à l'intérieur de la matière hôte qui s'écoule à travers une zone entre le rotor (12) et le stator (30). Lorsque des ouvertures (22) s'alignent, il se produit une succussion qui fournit de l'énergie servant à diffuser à un degré extrêmement élevé les matières à infuser dans la matière hôte. Les motifs d'ouvertures dans le rotor et le stator peuvent être conçus pour fonctionner à une fréquence unique ou à de multiples fréquences. Les fréquences de fonctionnement peuvent affecter la liaison entre les matières à infuser et la matière hôte et peuvent également être efficaces dans la dissociation de structures moléculaires complexes.

Inventor: TRUMAN MICHAEL MEAD
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2003-07-08
Abstract: The perceived quality of an audio signals obtained from very low bit-rate audio coding system is improved by using expanding quantizers and arithmetic coding in a transmitter and using complementary compression and arithmetic decoding in a receiver. An expanding quantizer is used to control the number of signal components that are quantized to zero and arithmetic coding is used to efficiently code the quantized-to-zero coefficients. This allows a wider bandwidth and more accurately quantized baseband signal to be conveyed to the receiver, which regenerates an output signal by synthesizing the missing components.

Abstract: Highly porous substance-selective polymeric membranes are produced by co-polymerisation of functional monomers and cross-linker in the presence of template, plasticiser (non-extractable component), and pore-forming component (extractable component). Extraction of the template and porogen molecules leads to the formation of small (< 100 nm) and large (> 500 nm) pores, including small pores having a shape and arrangement of functional groups complementary to the template molecule. The membranes possess enhanced affinity towards the template and its analogues and also have high flexibility and porosity. Such membranes can be used in analytical chemistry (as sensor elements and for solid-phase extraction materials) for applications in pharmacology, medicine, the food industry, water purification and environmental clean up.
