Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090062031Connection for a golf club shaft - This invention is a connection which can be used to secure a shaft in a hosel of a golf club head or a shaft extension in a golf club shaft. The connection uses tapered threads in its operation to expand a locking shaft inside a receptacle. This connection is easily-loosened and repositioned, readily allowing adjustment in total golf shaft length. It is especially suitable for use in converting a putter with a conventional shaft length into a longer shaft “belly putter”. It is low in cost to produce, requires few parts, and is easily adjusted using simple tooling.03-05-2009
20090270197Putter shaft extension - This invention is a putter shaft extension assembly which is especially suitable for use in converting a putter with a conventional shaft length into a longer shaft “belly putter”. It uses a novel screw attachment and pin arrangement to prevent accidental loosening and improper assembly. It is also preferably supplied with spacers to provide different extension lengths, these spacers also contain pins to prevent accidental loosening of the extension.10-29-2009

20100306493SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR OPTIMIZED DATA STORAGE AND MIGRATION IN A DATABASE SYSTEM - A system, method, and computer-readable medium that facilitate optimized data storage and migration are provided. Storage device zones are tested and assigned respective speed quality ratings. The frequency with which data is accessed within the system may be periodically monitored and a corresponding access frequency quantifier assigned to the data is updated accordingly. The data access frequency quantifier may be associated with a storage device zone speed quality rating. The association between data access frequency quantifiers and the storage device zone speed quality ratings may be made in a hierarchical association such that quantifiable differentials may be ascertained between a particular access frequency quantifier and a storage device zone speed quality rating. In this manner, when no storage zone having a speed quality rating that is associated with data having a particular access frequency quantifier is available for storage of the data, a storage zone having a speed quality rating more proximate the speed quality rating associated with the access frequency quantifier may be identified for migration of the data for storage thereby.12-02-2010

20110019056Bi-Directional Screen - A bidirectional screen alternately switches between a display mode showing conventional graphics and a capture mode in which the LCD backlight is disabled and the LCD displays a pinhole array or a tiled-broadband code. A large-format image sensor is placed behind the liquid crystal layer. Together, the image sensor and LCD function as a mask-based light field camera, capturing an array of images equivalent to that produced by an array of cameras spanning the display surface. The recovered multi-view orthographic imagery is used to passively estimate the depth of scene points from focus.01-27-2011

20110256569COMPLEX OF A CHAPERONE WITH BETA-AMYLOID AND METHODS EMPLOYING THIS COMPLEX - A chaperone protein Q2 and β-amyloid can form a complex. This complex can be detected in a biological sample, such as, for example, tissues or fluids from a mammal. Q2 levels can also be detected in a biological sample. A method for determining the Q2 level in a biological sample and comparing that level to a normal Q2 level can be used to detect, screen, diagnose, or otherwise determine a person's susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease such as, for example, the presence or absence of Alzheimer's disease, of symptoms of this disease, of factors leading to or associated with this disease, of likelihood of developing this disease, and the like. In one embodiment, a decline in Q2 level correlates to an increased likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease. In another embodiment, a decline in Q2 level correlates to an increase in βamyloid aggregation. The method may further include screening for an apolipoprotein E genotype, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease.10-20-2011

20110270684DECISION-MAKING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method and system for providing product recommendations to users. Attributes associated with one or more products for recommendation are displayed. Each attribute is selectable in a simple “drag-and-drop” manner. Along with the displayed attributes, user preference areas (e.g., preference drop zones) that allow users to indicate amounts of user inclination or disinclination for displayed attributes are displayed. Upon viewing the displayed attributes, users can then select at least one attribute for any user preference type. Thereupon, product recommendations are displayed on the basis of selected preferences over the selected product attributes. Potential product purchasers can express preferences in a simple manner from which specific product recommendations can be made.11-03-2011
