Filed:

Dec 15, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/216762

Inventors:

Wilber H. Bailey - Leucadia CA
Stephen J. Kreinick - San Diego CA
Bradley J. Denny - San Marcos CA

Assignee:

Ivac Corporation - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H02K 2720

US Classification:

318313

Abstract:

A digital servo control system for a d. c. motor to achieve stepping motor precision and a wider speed control range than either a conventional d. c. motor or a stepping motor, as may be typically utilized in an IV syringe pump. Motor position and direction sensing, as well as motor advance signals at the desired motor rate, condition motor advance and retard logic which, in turn, effects a unique counter-controlled motor drive subsystem to cause the d. c. motor to move forward, reverse, coast or slow down over a 1,000 to 1 speed control range.

Assignee:

C.R. Bard, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

A61B 500

US Classification:

128771

Abstract:

A medical apparatus for automatically measuring and displaying the quantity of a liquid discharged by a patient during a defined real time interval. The apparatus is comprised of a reusable housing and a disposable plastic container adapted to be removably received in a cavity in the housing. A transducer is mounted in the floor of the cavity to engage the container and transmit sonic pulses through the container wall into a liquid pool in the container. A molded silicon rubber cap is fitted over the transducer to assure good acoustic coupling between the transducer and the container without requiring the use of an intermediate gel substance. The container is configured such that when it is received in the housing cavity, it is oriented to cause liquid entering an inlet port in the top portion to pool over the flat section of the container bottom wall. The apparatus includes an electronic measurement subsystem for measuring both the volume of liquid in the container and the passage of real time and for digitally displaying the volume of liquid accumulated within a defined real time interval. The measurement subsystem periodically samples the liquid level in the container by energizing the transducer to transmit an ultrasonic pulse.

Assignee:

Zevo Golf Co., Inc. - Temecula CA

International Classification:

G01B 700
A63B 6936

US Classification:

33508

Abstract:

A golf club fitting system and method relate to the use of a golf club having its head rockably mounted on a base to enable the user to position the head adjustably. A club head orientation sensing device determines the loft angle of the club face when disposed in the desired adjusted position. A microcomputer responds to the sensor indicating the measured loft angle and other parameters such as the right handed or left handed user information and the intended playing surface condition information. A device responds to the microcomputer to display the determined loft angle desired for the given user.

Assignee:

Plop Golf Company - Carlsbad CA

International Classification:

G01B 700

US Classification:

33508

Abstract:

An apparatus for fitting golf club length and head-to-shaft angle to an individual person. The fitting club shaft is in two telescoping portions. A conventional grip is provided at the end of the first portion and the end of the second portion is pivotally connected to a conventional club head. A generally "L"shaped electrically insulating panel has one leg extending into the second shaft portion and the other leg extending into a cavity in the head. A first series of longitudinally spaced electrical contacts on the first end are adapted to be contacted by a connection contact on the movable first shaft portion to send an electrical signal indicating club length. A second series of spaced electrical contacts are radially arranged on the second leg about the shaft pivot point. The second series of contacts is adapted to be contacted by a second connection contact to send an electrical signal indicating head-to-shaft angle. A person grasps the fitting club grip and assumes a normal golf stance.
