摘要： The invention relates to a portable distance tracking system for use by a player on a playing field. The system includes a mobile interface unit that has a memory element, position interface electronics, a data processor, and a player interface. The memory element stores digitized map representations of playing fields. The position interface electronics receivers position indicative signals that are representative of a geographical location of the mobile unit from an external source. The data processor couples to the memory element and to the position interface electronics and correlates the geographical location to a field location of the mobile interface unit on the playing field. The processor also determines the distance from the mobile interface unit to a first landmark. The player interface is coupled to the data processor and communicates the distance between the mobile interface unit and the first landmark to the player. According to a preferred embodiment, the playing field is a golf course and the first landmark is a flag location at a select hole on the golf course.

摘要： A deflecting guard device securable to the hopper section of a broadcast spreader includes inclined plates for deflecting dry material as it is scattered by the spreader. First and second inclined plates diverge below the apertured bottom surface of the hopper section and arc secured to the hopper section in such a manner that they arc axially positionable into a plurality of vertically spaced positions relative thereto. In this manner, the width of the area to which dry materials placed in the hopper section arc applied can be controlled. A third inclined plate which interconnects the first and second inclined plates also prevents the dry material from being scattered outside a selected zone of application. The first and second inclined plates can be angularly reoriented relative to the bottom of the hopper section for further adjust the width of the area of application.
