A method for calibrating impedance includes coupling at least first, second, and third electrodes at respective locations to a surface of a body of a subject. A first current passing through the body between the first and second body-surface electrodes is measured, and a second current passing through the body between the first and third body-surface electrodes is measured. From the first and second currents, a contact factor is derived that is indicative of the impedance between at least one of the body-surface electrodes and the surface of the body. Also described are methods for sensing the position of a probe and for detecting tissue contact based on a relation between currents from the probe to body-surface electrodes.

A golf surface repair tool having a pair of legs for repairing a golfing surface following a shot is provided with internal implements that may be utilized as well. Specifically, the golf surface repair tool is fabricated utilizing at least three releasably interengageable body members. The legs of the repair tool extend from the first body member, which also defines an open mouth and a hollow cavity therewithin at its opposite end. The second body member has a closed end and an opposing open mouth and also defines at least one hollow cavity therewithin. A third body member is formed with a central base and a pair of pedestals which project from the base in opposite directions from each other. The pedestals have sides that respectively fit snugly in frictional or other engagement into the open mouths of the first and second body members. One or more writing implements, such as a marking pen for marking golf balls and/or a lead pencil for writing golf scores on a score card, are mounted to one of the pedestals projecting out from the central base. A brush is mounted to the other pedestal and projects in a direction opposite the writing implements. The brush and the writing implements are thereby enclosed within the hollow cavities of the first and second body members when the pedestals of the third body member are engaged with the first and second body members.

A barrier assembly includes first, second and third bodies that are vertically stacked. Each body includes a top surface and side surfaces. Inlet ports are formed within the top surfaces. Isolated chambers are formed within and are equidistantly spaced from a center of each body. The bodies include opposed ends that have serrations formed therewith that are interfitted for inhibiting lateral movement of the bodies during collision. The bodies also include indentations formed therein for receiving a user's hands or a fork lift arm, and assisting the user to transport the bodies.

A handle assembly for a power tool is described and includes a first substantially tubular body portion 210 which contains a first spring 212. A second body portion 216 is slidably mounted within first body portion 210 and contains a second spring 218. A third body portion 222 is also slidably mounted within first body portion 210. The biasing coefficient, or spring constant, of the first spring 212 is less than that of the second spring 218. The first, second and third body portions 210, 216 and 222, and first and second springs, 212 and 218, are all mounted coaxially on threaded bolt 224. In use the third body portion 222 moves within first body portion 210 in a direction towards end portion 214 and the first and softer spring 212 becomes compressed more rapidly than the second and harder spring 218. When the distance D¹ has reduced to zero, by compression of first spring 212, the rubber washer 230 engages end portion 220 of second body portion 216 and the biasing effect of first spring 212 is eliminated The biasing force of the harder second spring 218 acts alone up to a distance D².

The invention relates to a single-layer gold nano-structure capable of realizing asymmetric transmission and a preparation method thereof. The single-layer gold nano-structure is prepared through the following ten steps of: preparing a substrate; applying photoresist; performing post-photoresist application drying; using an electron beam to expose the pattern of the structure; performing developing; performing fixation; performing post-fixation drying; performing gold plating; stripping the photoresist; and performing drying. The single-layer gold nano-structure of the invention is of structural simplicity; the single-layer gold nano-structure has connectivity, so that the coupling of light and the metal micro-nano structure can be enhanced, and the asymmetric transmission characteristic of the light can be realized; and the length of first vertical bodies of the single-layer gold nano-structure and the length of third bodies of the single-layer gold nano-structure are set to be unequal, and therefore, the single-layer gold nano-structure has two more resonance modes than a structure with first vertical bodies and third vertical bodies which are equal in length, and thus, the adjustment of a plurality of frequency bands can be realized, and two relatively large asymmetric transmission effects can be generated. According to the preparation method of the invention, in the exposure process of the pattern of the structure, the electron beam etches a part of the pattern of the structure, and therefore, the exposure time of the pattern of the structure is saved, and preparation efficiency can be improved.
