The Invention is also applicable to the customized fitting of sports equipment such as golf clubs, baseball bats, tennis racquets, etc. to athletes unique swing motions and swing speeds, and for multiplayer tournament competitions via the Internet utilizing the swing motion analysis and system described herein.
摘要:
A method to produce a press felt for a fiber web producing and/or processing machine, including the steps of a) providing a load bearing base structure, which is, for example, produced of yarns, b) providing a first and a second non-woven fiber layer, c) imprinting a polymer material pattern onto the first or second non-woven fiber layer so that the polymer material pattern partially covers the layer, d) arranging the first non-woven fiber layer on one side of the base structure and e) arranging the second non-woven fiber layer on the first non-woven fiber layer in such a manner that the polymer material pattern is arranged between the two non-woven fiber layers. The present invention further relates to a press felt manufactured according to the method of the present invention.
摘要:
An acoustic transducer system for use in the measurement of longitudinal sound velocity in a cement sample that is maintained at high temperature and pressure. The acoustic assembly is separate from the end plugs to optimize acoustic coupling between the individual elements of the assembly, to increase the amplitude and consistency of the acoustic signal and to provide an ability to replace the transducers as a separate assembly. The transducer includes an acoustic transmission line and utilizes a pressure isolation method to optimize the material and the manufacturing process to enhance the acoustic signal required for the measurement. The transducer assembly includes a high temperature piezoelectric ceramic and a load mass that improve the signal amplitude and provide the required electrical connections. The transducer improves the ability to measure the longitudinal wave velocity in a cement sample at elevated temperature and pressure for determining the sample's compressive strength.
摘要:
A covering for a machine for the production of a fibrous web has, at least in some sections, a two-dimensional structure which is formed by a multiplicity of polymer-based regions which differ from each other at least in part by virtue of a different fraction of filler material and/or by virtue of a different type of filler material.

A decorative light strand has user-selectable color schemes corresponding to each holiday for year-round use. In one illustrative embodiment, the light strand has a plurality of lights; a decorating selector comprising a switch which provides a plurality of user-selectable settings; and logic coupled to the switch and the plurality of lights to provide different holiday color schemes in response to the user-selectable settings. A method of advertising the same includes the steps of providing a set of packaged year-round holiday lighting products for sale; providing a first displayed advertisement for the packaged year-round holiday lighting products during a first holiday season which corresponds to a first one of the holiday color schemes, the first displayed advertisement including first indicia representative of the first holiday season; providing a second displayed advertisement for the packaged year-round holiday lighting products during a second holiday season which corresponds to a second one of the holiday color schemes, the second displayed advertisement including second indicia representative of the second holiday season; and providing a third displayed advertisement for the packaged year-round holiday lighting products during a third holiday season which corresponds to a third one of the holiday color schemes, the third displayed advertisement including third indicia representative of the third holiday season. This approach is more efficient and economical for stores which sell and advertise holiday decorations.
摘要:
A decorative lighting apparatus provides user-selectable color schemes corresponding to several holidays and other occasions for year-round use. In one illustrative example, the decorative lighting apparatus includes control circuitry which has a plurality of color-control outputs for coupling to color-control terminals of each one of a plurality of color-controllable lights along a decorative light strand. The control circuitry is operative to illuminate the color-controllable lights with any given color scheme by repeatedly time-multiplexing color-control signals at the color-control outputs to different interleaved sets of color-controllable lights along the decorative light strand. Each color-controllable light is a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) Light-Emitting Diode (LED). Preferably, the time-multiplexing rate is sufficient such that the RGB LEDs appear to be simultaneously illuminated along the strand (e.g. 32 Hertz or greater). Advantageously, this low-cost implementation reduces the number of wires required along the decorative light strand without sacrificing versatility.
摘要:
A decorative lighting apparatus includes a decorative light strand having first, second, and third wires, each with a plurality of lamps coupled in series therealong, and a return wire coupled to ends of the first, the second, and the third wires. Each lamp of the plurality of lamps has a first light-emitting diode (LED) device coupled in parallel and in reverse orientation with a second LED device. The first, the second, and the third wires are positioned together such that each lamp of the first, the second, and the third pluralities are positioned adjacent to each other but sufficiently separated such that little or no color mixing occurs between the lamps. The apparatus also includes a controller adapted to control the plurality of lamps to provide different user-selectable color schemes in various simultaneously-illuminated combinations of color.
摘要:
A decorative light strand has user-selectable color schemes corresponding to each holiday for year-round use. The light strand has a plurality of differently colored lights; a decorating selector comprising a switch which provides a plurality of user-selectable settings; and logic coupled to the switch and the plurality of differently colored lights to provide different holiday color schemes in response to the user-selectable settings. In one specific example, the light strand includes a plurality of red lights, a plurality of white lights, a plurality of blue lights, a plurality of green lights, a plurality of orange lights, and a plurality of yellow lights. A decorating selector on one end of the light strand has a plurality of decorative holiday settings which include a New Year's holiday setting which enables the plurality of white lights; a Valentines/Sweetest Day holiday setting which enables the pluralities of red and white lights; an Independence/Memorial Day holiday setting which enables the pluralities of red, white, and blue lights; a Halloween holiday setting which enables the pluralities of orange and yellow lights; a Thanksgiving holiday setting which enables the plurality of orange and green lights; a Christmas holiday setting which enables the pluralities of red and green lights; and a Hanukkah holiday setting which enables the pluralities of blue and yellow lights. Advantageously, this light strand may be hung permanently and utilized year-round for major U.S. holidays and other suitable occasions.
