| 20110304497 | Athletic Performance Monitoring Systems and Methods in a Team Sports Environment - Systems, apparatuses, and methods estimate the distance between a player and a ball by transmitting a chirp (sweep signal) to a radio tag located on the ball. During the chirp, the frequency of the transmitted signal is changed in a predetermined fashion. The radio tag doubles the transmitted frequency and returns the processed signal to a transceiver typically located on the player. The currently transmitted frequency is then compared with the received frequency to obtain a difference frequency from which an apparatus may estimate the distance. The apparatus may simultaneously receive the processed signal from the radio tag while transmitting the sweep signal. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20100019979 | Tulip antenna with tuning stub - The tulip antenna has two orthogonally intersecting conductive plates. Each intersecting plate has two ends, and one of these ends is smoothly tapered. The intersecting plates intersect such that the tapered end of both plates together form a tapered side when the intersecting plates intersect. An inner conductor of a coaxial cable is connected to the two intersecting plates at the tapered side of the intersecting plates. The inner conductor and the surrounding insulator pass through a tuning stub and then through a metallic ground plate. The tuning stub is connected to the ground plate. An aperture in the ground plate is sized such that the insulator can pass through it, just as the insulator can pass through the tuning stub. The tuning stub increases the upper frequency limit over which the antenna operates. The outer conductor of the coaxial cable is attached to the ground plate. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090000926 | Lockable Shutter for Withdrawable Racks of Low-Voltage Power Circuit Breakers - Withdrawable racks for power circuit breakers should be reliably switched. To this end, the movement of the plates of a shutter in the withdrawable rack can be blocked so that the shutter is not permitted to open unintentionally. In a special embodiment, the opening mechanism for the plates can have two V-shaped linkages that are connected to a telescopic rod. The telescopic rod can be locked by a locking element so that the shutter plates, which can be moved by sliders, can no longer be displaced. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20110191570 | Method And Apparatus For Performing Logical Compare Operations - A method and apparatus for including in a processor instructions for performing logical-comparison and branch support operations on packed or unpacked data. In one embodiment, a processor is coupled to a memory. The memory has stored therein a first data and a second data. The processor performs logical comparisons on the first and second data. The logical comparisons may be performed on each bit of the first and second data, or may be performed only on certain bits. For at least one embodiment, at least the first data includes packed data elements, and the logical comparisons are performed on the most significant bits of the packed data elements. The logical comparisons may include comparison of the same respective bits of the first and second data, and also includes logical comparisons of bits of the first data with the complement of the corresponding bits of the second data. Based on these comparisons, branch support actions are taken. Such branch support actions may include setting one or more flags, which in turn may be utilized by a branching unit. Alternatively, the branch support actions may include branching to an indicated target code location. | 08-04-2011 |
