20090191929 | GOLF SIMULATOR CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET - A system for playing in a simulated indoor golf tournament comprises a web enabled physical golf simulator configured to transmit indoor golf performance data over a computer network during an indoor golf tournament. Tournaments can be conducted between players in different locations so that the participants in a given tournament need not be in the same city or country in order to compete. Players need not be available at the same time in order to compete against each other. In addition, the tournaments can be conducted live, with all participants competing at the same time, to simulate the pace of an outdoor golf tournament. | 07-30-2009 |
20100184496 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SPORTS SIMULATION - A sports simulator calculates the rotational and translational velocity of a sports object. The rotational velocity is calculated using image analysis. The translational velocity is calculated using image analysis and a set of emitters and sensors. The simulator then computes the future trajectory of the sports object based on the rotational and translational velocity. In one embodiment, the sports object is a golf ball and the sports simulator simulates golf. | 07-22-2010 |
20110070961 | APPARATUS FOR GOLF SIMLULATION - A golf simulator allows a player to launch a golf ball towards a display surface that shows the future trajectory of the golf ball. In one embodiment, the display surface allows the golf ball to pass through it. In one embodiment, the simulator collects the golf ball after it passes through the display surface and returns it to the player. | 03-24-2011 |
20120231894 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIMULATED GOLF - Described herein are methods and apparatuses for simulating golf. For example, described herein is a system for simulating a golf game. The system includes a simulator with a golf ball launch area and a display and an exercise device. The exercise device and simulator are connected to a computer. | 09-13-2012 |

20120155947 | CONSUMER PACKAGING - Disclosed is a package for a composition, the package comprising a container having a base comprising a base face for standing the package on a planar surface, and a cap removably connected to and covering a dispensing end of the container opposite to the base. The cap has an end face which is inclined to the base face, and the container and cap are shaped to permit the package, independent of the amount of the consumer composition contained within the container, selectively to be stood on the base face in an upright orientation on the planar surface or on the end face in an inverted orientation on the planar surface. | 06-21-2012 |
20120219349 | CONSUMER CARE PACKAGING - Disclosed is package for a consumer care composition. The package comprises a container containing a consumer care composition, the container having a base for standing the package on a surface, a body portion above the base, a neck portion above the body portion, and a dispensing head above the neck portion. The body portion is aligned along a first axis and the neck portion is aligned along a second axis which is inclined to the first axis so that the dispensing head is directed upwardly and laterally towards a front of the container. The neck portion and the dispensing head have an exterior periphery which is not equal to that of the body portion. | 08-30-2012 |
20130119059 | PACKAGING FOR A CONSUMER PRODUCT - A consumer product comprises a container for packaging a composition having a scent. A removable cap is fitted to the container, with the cap and the container defining a cavity therebetween. The cap has an orifice, for communicating between the cavity and an exterior of the cap, and a manually deformable part which is adapted to be displaceable thereby to displace air from an internal location within the cavity outwardly through the orifice. | 05-16-2013 |
