20090085797 | Configurable radar sensor - Multiple signal characteristics representing an entire field of view of an FMCW (FM-CW) sensor are evaluated to determine whether the field of view has changed. Signal characteristics representing the field can be compared to representative signal characteristics obtained from previous scans. At least one signal characteristic representing at least a portion of the scene can be evaluated by comparing the signal characteristic to a dynamic threshold. The dynamic threshold can be redefined after each scan from the statistics of the signal characteristic. The dead zone of a sensor can be reduced by filtering out noise that would otherwise overshadow a signal representing the near-field region of a scene. The noise can be filtered by subtracting a polynomial curve from a time-domain signal representing the scene after fitting the polynomial curve to a representative signal generated based on previous scene scans. | 04-02-2009 |

20110263346 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSISTING A GOLFER TO PROPERLY GRIP A GOLF CLUB - The present device relates to an apparatus and a method for allowing a golfer to properly grip a golf club. A proper grip is one that allows for the most efficient radial deviation (abduction) and ulnar deviation (adduction) as well as flexion and extension of the wrist of the golfer's upper hand, while also minimizing club head and shaft axis rotation during a golf swing. This grip can be achieved through the use of a marking system comprising the golfer's glove and the grip of the golf club. By matching one or more markings on the glove, placed in specific locations on its anterior, with one or more markings located on specific positions on a golf club grip, the proper location of the golfer's upper hand can be found and the proper grip can then be made. | 10-27-2011 |

Any number and type of golf clubs can then be made for the golfer by determining a lie angle and club length that all match the adjusted hand height. Sets of clubs, each set configured for a particular adjusted hand height, can also be stocked by a store and sold to a customer (golfer), the golfer receiving a set that matches his/her adjusted hand height. In this manner, the golfer can use all of these constant hand height clubs without having to change his or her stance for each of the clubs since the clubs are all configured to match the hand height of the golfer. | 02-14-2013 |

20110197618 | MULTI-STAGE HEAT EXCHANGER - A refrigeration system that utilizes both an air-cooled heat exchanger and a cooling tower to cool refrigerant prior to the refrigerant being provided to the evaporator. This multi-stage cooling permits the refrigeration system to operate with improved efficiency, while reducing the amount of water lost to evaporative cooling in the cooling tower, since the thermal load handled by the cooling tower is reduced by the air-cooled heat exchanger. This in turn means less water is required to replace water lost to evaporative cooling. In arid regions or regions of low water quality, both efficiency increase and reduction of water lost to evaporative cooling are important improvements. | 08-18-2011 |
