Abstract: A method for registering a printing plate includes supporting the printing plate on a support surface. A plurality of registration members adapted to register an edge of the printing plate is provided. The first printing plate is moved over the support surface along a first direction to a position where the edge of the printing plate contacts a first registration member of the plurality of registration members. The first registration member is moved along a second direction that intersects the first direction while maintaining contact between the first registration member and the edge of the printing plate at a location on the edge that does not substantially vary as the first registration member moves along the second direction. Contact is established between the printing plate and a second registration member of the plurality of registration members after the first registration member has commenced moving along the second direction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described that enable the automatic collection of maritime vessel location information within a global or regional framework by using a minimum network of vessels outfitted with non-intrusive AIS data collection systems. The network of vessels may comprise standard ships operating within their normal commercial or private tasks. By utilizing these non-specially tasked vessels and augmenting the received AIS reports with onboard radar/navigation information, accurate global or regional tracking information can be generated at a centralized location without incurring large costs.

Abstract: A method for positioning a printing plate includes supporting the printing plate on a support surface. A first force is applied to the printing plate to move the printing plate over the support surface along a path. A second force is applied to the printing plate to alter the movement of the printing plate along the path. The printing plate is pivoted on the support surface while applying the first force and the second force to the printing plate, wherein the printing plate is pivoted about a pivot point located on the printing plate at a location different from each of the locations on the printing plate to which the first and second forces are applied.

Abstract: A method and device is used to teach and simulate swing mechanics. A camera is coupled to a computer such that frames including an image of a golfer swinging a golf club may be captured. A key part of the image is identified by the computer in sequential frames captured from the camera, and the image is compared to swing mechanics of a known standard golfer. The position of the known standard golfer is capable of following the natural swing of a student golfer, and the method and device are capable of providing real-time feedback to the student golfer during the golfer's swing. An instant replay may be used to reinforce good swing mechanics. A marker attachment may be used to assist in tracking and analyzing the swing mechanics of the images. Parameters relating to club angle and apparent club length may be compared to a known standard for a plurality of reference swing positions in order to determine the swing mechanics of the student golfer during practice instruction and within a golf simulation game to determine ball trajectory. A ball launch monitor may be integrated with the image analysis, which improves the effectiveness of the method and device synergistically.

Abstract: An inexpensive, PCMCIA-based radio transceiver is provided that interfaces to a separate baseband modem, which may itself be PCMCIA-based or may be an internal modem of a notebook computer. Together, the PCMCIA-based radio transceiver and the baseband modem realize a wireless modem. In order to miminize cost and increase versatility of the resulting wireless modem, the radio transceiver is a relatively unintelligent, protocol-agnostic, slave device that is controlled by commands issued by the baseband modem. The baseband modem may be a hardware modem or a software modem. In either case, the character of the baseband modem may be changed by downloading new software. The radio transceiver may also be exchanged for another within a family of radio transceivers, each of which customized for a particular radio standard. The result is an extremely flexible, extremely low-cost wireless modem solution.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for substantially reducing heat buildup within a mobile radio device having a radio transmitter. The invention is particularly applicable to PC Card wireless modems. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, device temperature in a mobile radio device is controlled by monitoring the temperature of the mobile radio device; if the temperature of the mobile radio device exceeds a threshold then, when the mobile radio device is to transmit information, transmission power of the mobile radio device is reduced, thereby reducing the amount of heat generated within the mobile radio device and allowing the temperature of the mobile radio device to decrease. Transmission power is reduced sufficiently to allow the temperature of the mobile radio to decrease but not so much as to affect the reliability of transmission in the typical case. Transmission power may also be reduced by, instead of reducing the power level, inserting brief pauses at intervals during the transmission, the transmit amplifier being turned off during such pauses and, in particular, inserting brief pauses into the inaudible SAT signal when a host computer coupled to the mobile radio device is receiving data from the mobile radio device. The pauses are made sufficiently short in duration that the radio connection is not lost.

Abstract: A network path test circuit for testing call connections established through the switch network of a telephone toll switching office. Common control equipment of the telephone toll switching office momentarily applies a tone signal to the transmit and receive paths of a call connection prior to outpulsing a called telephone station directory number. Detector apparatus measures the impedance reflected back over the call connection to determine the absence and existence of path transpositions in the call connection. The common control equipment is enabled to establish another call connection when the reflected impedance indicates path transpositions in the call connection.
