Title: Methods and systems for identifying the launch positions of descending golf balls
Filed: 2007-09-27
Abstract: Identification of the tee-off bay (52;53) from which a golf ball landing on a golf-range target (51) originated, is made by calculating an estimate of flight duration (Edurk) of the descending ball as a function of the measured angle (β) of descent in elevation, and, in respect of each ball launched from the bays (52,53), comparing this estimate for a match with a measured interval between the launch of the respective ball and descent of the descending ball. The originating bay (52;53) of the launched ball for which there is the closest match is identified as the origin of the descending ball, and ambiguity or uncertainty between which bay (52,53) is identified is resolved through comparison of the measured angle (αdes) of descent in azimuth of the descending ball with estimates (Edirk) of it calculated for each launched ball, and through similar comparison in respect of a calculated decelaration ratio (Edeck) and flight duration (Durk).

Title: Separation of components of fluid mixture
IPC: B04C5/103
Filed: 1984-05-14
Abstract: A separator comprises a vessel having an outer wall (2) and an end wall (3). A body (14) adjacent the end wall (3) defines with the end wall (3) an annular opening (15).

Title: Error handling in a transaction processing apparatus
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1992-04-10
Abstract: A transaction processing apparatus carries out real-time transaction processing on receipt of both local data and remote data. The effect of data errors arising due to either hardware faults or human error, are virtually eliminated by operation of a re-build processor (10) which continuously monitors operation of the real-time processor (6). Accordingly, data structures may be rebuilt very quickly after a fault arises. In addition, an offline processor (8) operates in parallel with the real-time processor (6) and uses data in its associated database (9) to compare and verify processed locally received data and remotely received data. The offline processor (8) does not operate in real-time but in point-in-time at regular intervals to allow correction of errors and updating of data which is to be verified. <IMAGE>
