International Classification:

H04N 7/173
H04B 7/212

US Classification:

709231, 709243, 709236, 725 93, 725 94, 725 97, 370342, 370442

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating a data stream for broadcast to one or more client systems. A source identifier identifies where the data for the data stream may be obtained. Scheduling information associated with the identifier determines when the data should be added to the data stream for broadcast. The data is requested and received from the data source using the identifier and added to the data stream to arrive at the one or more client systems in accordance with the scheduling information. The generated data stream may comprise one or more sub-streams. The scheduling information may be checked or validated to assure consistency and accuracy. Client systems may simultaneously receive data, including real-time data, from multiple sources.

Appl. No.:

10/420134

Inventors:

Paul J. Roy - Menlo Park CA, US
Andrew J. Jaffray - San Francisco CA, US
Pradeep K. Jha - Fremont CA, US
Victor S. Lee - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

709201, 718106, 370235

Abstract:

A pipeline may include a first stage and a second stage for executing data processing services and a data host communicatively coupled to the first and second stages. The data host provides for storing and communicating data, wherein the storing and communicating are asynchronous one to another. Execution of the first data processing service is asynchronous with respect to execution of the second data processing service.

Filed:

Sep 18, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/530779

Inventors:

Paul A. Roy - Poway CA

Assignee:

Vantage Associates, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A63B 5310

US Classification:

473319

Abstract:

A golf club shaft having a high modulus of elasticity in the grip end of the shaft to enhance stiffness, and a low modulus of elasticity in the tip end of the shaft to provide flexibility, and a method of manufacturing such a golf club shaft is disclosed.

Appl. No.:

6/034414

Inventors:

Paul A. Roy - Poway CA

Assignee:

Aldila, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A63B 5310

US Classification:

273 80B

Abstract:

Presented is a golf shaft designed to have a "kick" point or "flex" zone at a predetermined location along the length of the shaft. How and where the shaft bends or flexes during the down swing has a strong influence on how the club "feels" to the golfer. How and where the shaft bends during the down swing is determined by the construction of the golf shaft and presented herewith is a golf shaft structure and method of making it which controls the position of the flex point along the length of the shaft so that a variety of shafts having different flex characteristics may be manufactured to suit the dictates of individual players.

Filed:

Jun 24, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/211462

Inventors:

Paul A. Roy - Poway CA

Assignee:

Fiber-Speed International, Inc. - Naples FL

International Classification:

A63B 5310

US Classification:

156189

Abstract:

A golf club shaft of increased playability and feel is manufactured with a generally hollow and tapered cylindrical wall comprised of a plurality of layers of fibers and a resin binding the plurality of layers of fibers together into an integrated structure. The shaft includes a portion of constant outer diameter adjacent one end adapted to accept a grip and a portion of a smaller constant diameter adjacent the other adapted to be fitted to the hosel of a club head and a portion intermediate the two end portions with a uniformly tapering diameter. The golf club comprises a plurality of layers of fibers arranged and oriented within the shaft to resist torsional deflection and to provide a controlled and variable flexural resistance, permitting the player to recover energy stored in the shaft during the swing and to apply that energy to the ball for greater distance. The inner and outer layers of fibers include fibers running both perpendicular and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The central layers include fibers running longitudinally along, or spiralling at a selected angle around, the axis of the shaft.
