Abstract:
Embodiments provided herein measure metrics of an athletic action and an object associated therewith, and more particularly, to measuring the metrics and characteristics of a baseball during the wind-up, release, flight, and catch of a pitch sequence. Methods may include: receiving, from at least one motion sensor associated with an object, acceleration data and angular velocity data of the object in response to an athletic action performed on the object; processing the acceleration data to establish vector rotation data between a frame of reference of the object and an Earth frame of reference; applying the vector rotation data to the acceleration data to obtain acceleration of the object in the Earth frame of reference; applying the vector rotation data to the angular velocity data to obtain angular velocity of the object in the Earth frame of reference.

Abstract:
An HF olefin/isoparaffin alkylation process is carried out in an alkylation unit with a settling vessel in which the alkylate product is separated from the HF acid catalyst containing water and acid soluble oil (ASO). The density of the liquids in the settling vessel is measured at different levels by means of a nuclear density profile analyzer. The acid strength of the acid phase is determined from the density measurement and an optional temperature measurement. The proportion of water in the acid phase may also be measured separately by measurement of its electrical conductivity to determine the respective contributions of the water and the ASO to the density of the HF acid phase.
Abstract:
Present Invention enables non-cash-paid workers/vendors to rapidly receive net or gross compensation for rendered services/products with or without personal access to banking—unlimited by time and volume restrictions currently imposed by private label pay cards and systems. Present invention is a method, via a client server system, by which a Compensation Payer can issue individual or bulk funds to a secure Payer account—accompanied by (a) payment manifest(s)—which automatically and verifiably distributes to Payee-controlled accounts from which Payees can privately direct some or all of the received compensation to multiple Payee-Directed Disbursement Devices, including, without exclusion of others, direct deposit, paper/e-checks, money orders, and virtually any kind, number, and combination of verifiably legitimate debit, credit, gas, phone, gift, or store cards, prioritized, among others, by card, card type, and dollar amounts at Payee's directions received prior to or anytime after a specific payout disbursement.

Abstract:
A gradient-index (GRIN) optical connector is disclosed that includes a GRIN lens having a central optical axis and front and back opposite endfaces. A plurality of optical fibers are optically coupled to the back endface of the GRIN lens and defines a first optical fiber bundle having an asymmetric arrangement relative to the central optical axis of the GRIN lens. The GRIN lens has a refractive index profile generally defined by an alpha profile having an alpha parameter α in a range 1.92≦α≦1.98. An optical fiber connector assembly formed by interfacing two of the GRIN optical connectors is also disclosed.
