摘要： Golf ball locators and components of such locators and methods of operating such locators and processing signals within such locators. In one aspect of the inventions described herein, an exemplary method of initializing a golf ball locator includes receiving received RF signals while also transmitting signals used to locate balls and determining a parameter representative of received signal strength of the received RF signals and setting a threshold to determine when subsequent received signals are to cause an indication of golf ball detection. In another aspect of this disclosure, the golf ball locator is a handheld unit having a volume of less than about 150 inches cubed and includes a transmitter, a transmit antenna, a receiver, a receive antenna and a processor coupled to the transmitter and to the receiver, and the handheld unit achieves a signal isolation, between a second harmonic of a transmitted signal from the transmitter and the receiver's received signal, of greater than about 130 to 160 dB. Other aspects are also described.

摘要： Various brake control systems and methods are provided herein. In one implementation, a brake pressure control system having a shutoff valve (24) in a hydraulic conduit (26, 30) between a pressure origination source (16, 18) and a wheel brake (20), the shutoff valve selectively isolates the pressure origination source from the brake responsive to an indication that a wheel associated with the brake meets a skid condition, and an actuator assembly (28) comprising an actuator (34) that regulates fluid brake pressure after the shutoff valve isolates the pressure origination source from the brake. The actuator assembly operates independently of the shutoff valve and is coupled to the hydraulic conduit between the shutoff valve and the brake. The actuator assembly also effects displacement of the actuator for increasing and decreasing brake pressure. A controller (44) determines if the skid condition has been reached and controls the shutoff valve and the actuator assembly based upon the skid condition.
