Title: Method of forming a golf swing and equipment
Inventor: KOSTUJ WILLIAM
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 2008-07-09
Abstract: Disclosed is forming a secure golf club gripping style using only the limbs of a body. A limb-only golf swing is thereafter produced using the formed grip, thus eliminating extraneous influences upon said golf swing, including but not limited to golf clubs and other golf equipment that can cause change and/or inconsistency in said swing. Also disclosed is a method of fitting equipment based on limb-only swing performance. One step comprises reproducing the limb- only golf swing as accurately as possible when any club is swung. Another step further comprises fitting the golf club to obtain any desired golf ball travel, wherein the swing performance attained in the prior fitting step is maintained as the principle priority in order to achieve the best overall swing performance and equipment fit. Hence, at least one golf club or other piece of equipment may be produced to any equipment specification(s) determined during the fitting process.

Title: Detecting when a communication device emits potentially harmful RF radiation, and in response generating a confusion field to mitigate the hazard
Inventor: PENAFIEL LUIS MIGUEL
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2011-07-18
Abstract: This application discloses a device adapted for remedying the potentially harmful effect on humans of RF transmissions. The device includes sensing means, such as an antenna (30, Fig. 1) for monitoring radiation generated by an RF emitting device such as a mobile handset. An output signal from the sensing means is input to detecting means (32, 34, Fig. 1). The detecting means includes a first integrator 42 for integrating a sensed transmission signal over a predetermined time interval, a time delay means 38 for feeding the sensed transmission signal to a second integrator 44 for integrating the sensed transmission signal over the same predetermined time interval, and means 48 for comparing the integrated values from the first and second integration means with a threshold in order to determine whether the transmissions have a significant time duration. When it is determined that the transmissions do have a significant time duration, a remedial signal generator (28, Fig. 1) is triggered to generate a noise signal which is used to generate an electromagnetic field in the vicinity of the RF radiation and thus mitigate any potentially harmful effects. This field is sometimes referred to as a confusion field in the prior art. The detector may include a passive detector and an active detector, each performing the integration, delay and compare steps outlined above.

Title: Estimating petrophysical parameters and invasion profile using joint induction and pressure data inversion approach
Inventor: ABUBAKAR ARIA
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2010-01-15
Abstract: Methods and related systems are described relating to an inversion approach for interpreting the geophysical electromagnetic data. The inversion can be constrained by using a multiphase fluid flow simulator (incorporating pressure data if available) which simulates the fluid flow process and calculates the spatial distribution of the water saturation and the salt concentration, which are in turntransformed into the formation conductivity using a resistivity-saturation formula. In this way, the inverted invasion profile is consistent with the fluid flow physics and moreover accounts for gravity segregation effects. Jointly with the pressure data, the inversion estimates a parametric one-dimensional distribution of permeability and porosity. The fluid flow volume is directly inverted from the fluid-flow-constrained inversion of the electromagnetic data. The approach is not limited by the traditional interpretation of the formation test, which is based on a single-phase model without taking into account invasion or assuming that the fluid, for example mud-filtrate, has been cleaned up from the formation testing. zone. The joust inversion of the electromagnetic and pressure data provides for a more reliable interpretation of formation permeability. One advantage of the approaches described herein, is its possible generalization to three-dimensional geometries, for example dipping beds and highly deviated wells.

Title: A dali controller
Inventor: PARKER ANDREW
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2011-07-06
Abstract: The Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a lighting control protocol that allows individual control and monitoring of each device in a lighting system (e.g. ballasts, emergency lighting etc), as well as groups of such devices. An improved DALI compliant Line Controller is described which may be advantageously used in a commercial setting. The sockets for both DALI lines and Ethernet are industry standard RJ45 sockets, allowing the use of industry standard cables (as compared to DB9 connectors which are not typically used in industrial settings). Further the use of RJ45 sockets enables the DALI controller to be SELV compliant, thus reducing the risk of electrical shock whilst working on the controller and advantageously providing a safer controller for use in an industrial environment. Additional modifications for use in an industrial environment include constructing DIN mountable slimline housing which extends along the DIN rail to minimise the footprint of the controller and increase packing efficiency on the rack, providing an externally accessible battery compartment on the top surface allowing quick and easy battery replacement without requiring removal of the controller from the DIN rack, and LED visual indicators on the top surface to provide status information and allow easy identification of a specific controller with a problem when mounted on a DIN rack with many other devices.
