Abstract: A paint-drying system suitable for drying paint applied to a surface of a work piece, the system comprises at least one NIR generating device, at least one holding device for holding one or more work pieces, and a controller for controlling operation of the system. In use, either one or both of the or each NIR generating device and holding device is/are moved relative to the or each other such that the spatial-distance between the or each NIR generating device and a surface of a work piece held by the or each holding device is maintained substantially constant by the controller during actuation of the or each NIR generating device.

Abstract: A welding system for welding one or more work pieces, the system comprising a welding device, a laser tracking device, and a controller module. In use of the welding system, the laser tracking device tracks a path of a desired weld and detects real-time variation(s) in the weld path. The variation(s) is/are assessed by the controller module to provide real-time communication with the welding system, so as to adjust one or more welding operating parameters.

Abstract: A support means for golf clubs comprising four parts. The first, second and third parts having a plurality of recesses for the golf club heads, the third part also being a cover for the golf club heads in the recesses of the first part and the second part. The fourth part of the cover providing a final cover to protect the golf clubs from dust and scratching. A cover so arranged has the advantage of fixing the position of various golf clubs (irons and woods) in a golf club bag. The golf clubs are held in position in the bag so that they will not scratch one another and making noises when being carried. The four parts of the cover are of transparent polymer material to allow the golf clubs to be seen through the cover which is advantageous for displaying purposes in shops.
