摘要:
A portable unit usable by a person when carrying out an exercise is described. The unit is programmable with details of a virtual athlete and their performance in a specific race, to enable the user to race against the virtual athlete. The unit informs the user through headphones of the progress of the virtual athlete during a race being carried out by a user. The unit may also be programmable with periodic encouragement messages for a user.

The present invention describes a magnetic targeting system suitable for guiding a biocompatible device to a target area within the body (in vivo) and method of using the same. The system includes a targeting member having a steering material and is attached to the biocompatible device. The system also includes at least one anchoring member constructed and arranged for the inclusion of a magnetic material effective for influencing the traversal of the steering material, in vivo. The magnetically influenced anchoring member interacts with the targeting member such that the biocompatible device is positionable relative to the target area.

A video graphics controller (VGC) for communicating with a frame buffer memory and a display device includes a first-in, first-out (FIFO)-configured memory, a memory controller for communicating with the frame buffer memory and controlling the FIFO-configured memory, and read and write pointers for the FIFO-configured memory. A subtractor is coupled to the read and write pointers for generating a difference signal which is coupled to the memory controller, and the read pointer generates a read carrier signal which is provided to a lock detector along with an end-of-frame signal. The lock detector generates an output signal which is coupled to the memory controller in order to place the video graphics controller in a locked mode of operation if no read carry signal is generated during an inputting of an entire frame of information into the FIFO-configured memory, and in an unlocked mode of operation if a read carry signal is generated prior to the completion of the inputting of an entire frame of information.

Disclosed is a method of determining a volume of liquid in a sample tube, comprising the steps of capturing an image of the sample tube, determining a first region of interest within the sample tube based upon pre-stored information concerning dimensional properties of the sample tube, scanning the first region of interest to detect the position of a meniscus indicative of an upper extent of the liquid, and using said meniscus position together with certain pre-stored properties of the sample tube to determine a volume of liquid in the tube, and outputting said volume. Also disclosed is an apparatus for performing the method.

摘要:
There is provided a turret member for a reversible airless spray tip unit having an easily readable identification device or indicia for the particular turret member imprinted on a tag or label attached to a securing device or attaching ring secured to the handle of the turret member. A plurality of turret members are carried on a keychain by their attachment rings for their ease of accessibility to the operator.
摘要:
A golf trainer (1) has a ground-engaging base (2) supporting a rail assembly (3) and a carriage (50) for guiding a golf club (typically a putter). Foot guides (12, 13) are of thin planar construction, having curved front edges and are configured and located to both indicate a good playing stance and provide support for the trainer (1) while the fronts of the player's feet are on them. The rail assembly (3) comprises a central post (25), and left and right side posts (26, 27). The base (2) comprises a central socket (30) for the central post (25), a left pair of sockets (31) for the post (26), and a right pair of sockets (32) for the post (27). The rail assembly (3) is secured to the base (2) by inserting the central post (25) in the socket (30), and simultaneously inserting the left post (26) in one of the sockets (31), and inserting the right post (27) in one of the sockets (32). By choice of socket, the user can secure the assembly (3) so that the stiffening web (21) is in a vertical plane, or has a configuration which is generally cylindrical about a vertical axis. A club carriage (50) comprises an elastomer grip (51) and a and a wheel (55) for rotation on the axle (54). The elastomer grip (51) comprises a central through-hole (56) for gripping the shafr, and the shape of the gripping element and of a connector (52) allow self-tightening in use.
摘要:
There is provided a reversible spray tip unit for an airless spray gun having an axially rotatable cylindrically shaped turret member with the spray tip nozzle arranged in a diametric fluid bore therein, the turret member being disposed in a complementary shaped bore of a housing and arranged transverse to the flow of paint, and a saddle seal received axially in the housing and having a cylindrically shaped sealing face mating with the cylindrical shape of the turret member at the diametric fluid bore housing the spray tip nozzle. Upon assembly of the disassembled reversible spray tip unit, the saddle seal is quickly inserted into the housing and accurately oriented so that its sealing face is aligned with the cylindrically shaped bore in the housing for the turret member by means of an insertion/orientation tool which is adapted to be keyed to the fluid bore of the saddle seal.
