Abstract: A wire whisk that is safe for use on non-stick cookware with an array of flexible wire loops, each loop having two ends secured to the inner end of the handle. The whisk has silicone tubing surrounding each wire loop to render it heat resistant but non-abrasive for use on non-stick coating surfaces. Silicone tubing together with internal wire loops preserves the superior whipping action of flexible wire with the non-stick non-abrasive properties of a silicone surface. The wire loops and associated tubing may be disposed in any conventional whisk configuration such as that of a piano whisk; an egg whisk; a flat whisk; a balloon whisk; or a Swedish style/helical wire configuration.

Abstract: The preferred orientation, or planar oscillation plane, of a golf club shaft is located by measuring the oscillation of the shaft when an impulse is applied. A reaction mass is mounted on one end of the golf club shaft and is attracted with an electromagnet, and the electromagnet is deactivated in order to initiate vibratory motion. Preferably, the out-of-plane oscillation is measured at a large number of angular positions about the shaft axis, and the principal planar oscillation plane is identified by that pair of opposed angular positions in which the out-of-plane oscillation is smallest. The location of the preferred orientation may be marked on the shaft and used to assemble a golf club with the planar oscillation plane in a predetermined orientation. The straightness of the shaft can also be determined by deriving its spring constant from its oscillation frequency and then measuring the restoring force when the shaft is deflected by the same nominal amount at different angular positions; differences in restoring force can be attributed to differences in actual deflection distance resulting from lack of straightness.

Abstract: The invention provides a vehicle surroundings monitoring system for synthesizing and displaying images captured by a plurality of cameras (CA1-CA4) to provide images that, near the border (BLA12,BLA23) between partial images, are more accurate and more readily understood by the user than has been the case conventionally. In the synthesized image, a partial image captured by a first camera and a partial image captured by a second camera are adjacent to one another at their border. Near this border, the capturing directions of the first and the second cameras both substantially match the direction of the border. Consequently, images of objects near the border extend along the border, and thus do not disappear on the synthesized image.

Abstract: Method and apparatus that compensates for overestimation of channel SINR due to overfitting of an adaptive equalizer to the pilot portion of a received frame. The SINR of a wireless channel is estimated by adapting an adaptive equalizer using the pilot portion of the frame, applying the adaptive equalizer to a non-pilot portion of the frame, determining a parameter using the adaptive equalizer output, and estimating the SINR of the wireless channel using the parameter. The parameter can include, for example, the mean square error (MSE) or the bias of the equalizer output. The accuracy of the SINR estimate according to this aspect of the present invention is thereby improved (as compared to a SINR estimate based on parameters calculated during the pilot interval) because the adaptive equalizer is not overfit to the control or data portions of the frame.
