Abstract:
A virtual racecourse is mapped by uniting digital pictures with GPS and inclinometer data, stored in a recorded course file, presented in distance increments of the racecourse, and accessed for individual and group competition over the internet.

Abstract:
A method of locating packet identifiers held in respective memory locations in a memory, the method comprising receiving a plurality of packets, each packet including a packet identifier, searching said memory locations in a sequence to compare an incoming packet identifier with packet identifiers stored in the memory until a match is found, incrementing one of a set of counters associated respectively with the memory locations, said incremented counter being the one associated with the memory location where the match packet identifier is held, and reading values of each of the counters and using said values to determine the sequence in which the memory locations are searched for subsequent incoming packet identifiers.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for imparting antimicrobial characteristics to hydrophilic fabrics. The method involves: (1) providing a hydrophilic fabric; (2) providing a first solution comprising at least one oligodynamic metal ion, wherein the first solution is free of basic nitrogen compounds; (3) contacting the hydrophilic fabric with the first solution to allow the hydrophilic fabric to absorb metal ions from the first solution; and (4) precipitating or reducing the metal ions that have been absorbed by the fabric so that the hydrophilic fabric contains an oligodynamic metal salt or free oligodynamic metal and has antimicrobial characteristics. The invention is also directed to disposable medical cloths having antimicrobial characteristics.
