Title: Method and apparatus for propelling golf balls and other objects using a stepped driver
Inventor: DANA R ALLEN
IPC: A63B65/12
Filed: 2020-02-21
Abstract: A portable apparatus propels a projectile such as a golf ball, without the use of any external source of power. A striking driver is retracted, to a non-equilibrium position, by application of force, and is held in the non-equilibrium position. When the striking driver is released, it travels along a guided path and forcibly contacts the projectile, which is held in a loading port. Differential friction devices may be used on the projectile and/or the striking driver, to impart spin to the projectile. A rotary trigger alternately blocks and unblocks the striking driver, enabling control of the release of the striking driver. The apparatus may include various safety devices which prevent accidental release of the striking driver.

Title: System for and method of detecting changes
Inventor: Gary Broughton
IPC: G06V30/41
Filed: 2022-02-02
Abstract: Method of detecting changes to a webpage, document or image’s content comprising: obtaining a first 310 and second document image 320; determining a portion of the first image that differs from the second image at corresponding locations (312, 322, Figs.10&11); searching for the portion of the first image at different locations in the second image; and defining the portion as a relevant change if the portion is not found in the second image. Images may be scaled to identical dimensions (1002,Fig.8). Masks 300 may be applied to images to avoid consideration of high frequency changes (e.g. dates, times, feeds). Images may be converted to greyscale (1004,Fig.8). Determining differences may involve comparing greyscale pixel patterns to determine local structural similarity index measures (SSIM). Difference measures (SSIMs) may be binarized (1012,Fig.8) and subjected to contour analysis (1014,Fig.8) to determine bounding boxes (1016,Fig.8). Averaging local SSIMs may produce a global difference measure that is compared to a threshold to determine whether further processing is performed (1020-1024,Fig.8). The global threshold is dependent on the image content i.e. images or text. Optical character recognition may be used to determine text location thereby determining whether image differences coincide with the text location to indicate a relevant change.
