  • Patent number: 8282501
    Abstract: A putter-type golf club comprising an alignment system and a club head assembly. The putter-type club head has a body that is preferably composed of aluminum, with a rear weight disk and small inserts composed of a material denser than the material used for the remainder of the club head (excluding the neck of the club). The body has an alignment channel that is approximately the same width as a standard golf ball, and which runs from the face to the rear of the club head. In a preferred embodiment this alignment channel is black or dark in color with a white or light-colored border. The putter-type club has a neck that is inserted laterally through the side of the club head, such that it runs parallel to the face of the club head and for substantially the length of the face.

    Abstract: A putter-type golf club comprising an alignment system and a club head assembly. The putter-type club head has a body that is preferably composed of aluminum, with a rear weight disc and small inserts composed of a material denser than the material used for the remainder of the club head (excluding inserts in the “wings” on the club head and/or neck of the club). The body has an alignment channel that is approximately the same width as a standard golf ball, and which runs from the face to the rear of the club head. In a preferred embodiment this alignment channel is black or dark in colour with a white or light-coloured border.

  • Publication number: 20100132583
    Abstract: A railway carriage to be transported on a railway system includes a living area (164), a bathroom (36), a sleeping area (26) and a kitchen area (62). Appliances (40, 42, 75) in the bathroom (36) and kitchen area (62) are connected to a common potable water supply system (170). The railway carriage includes a potable water connector (136) to releasably connect the potable water supply system (170) of the carriage to an external water supply. The appliances (40, 42, 73) in the bathroom (36) and kitchen area (62) are also connected to a common waste water system (172). The railway carriage includes a waste water connector (138) to releasably connect the waste water system (172) of the carriage to an external waste system, such as a drain. The potable water connector (136) and the waste water connector (138) are provided on a common mounting (132).

  • Publication number: 20090042399
    Abstract: A method of forming a feature on a multi-layer semiconductor is disclosed. A pattern feature is formed in an uppermost layer of the multi-layer semiconductor. The multilayer semiconductor is etched with a SO2 based chemistry to extend the pattern feature to a lower layer of the multi-layer semiconductor. Use of the SO2 based chemistry for etch eliminates features roughness associated with conventional CO, SiCL4 or CO2-based chemistries.

  • Patent number: 7199011
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to formation of a transistor in a manner that mitigates overlap capacitances, thereby facilitating, among other things, enhanced switching speeds. More particularly, a gate stack of the transistor is formed to include an optional layer of poly-SiGe and a layer of poly-Si, where at least one or the layers comprises carbon. The stack may also include a polysilicon seed layer that can also comprise carbon. The carbon changes the components of sidewall passivation materials and affects etch rates during an etching process, thereby facilitating isotropic etching. The changed passivation materials coupled with an enhanced sensitivity of the poly-SiGe and carbon-doped poly-SiGe layer to an etchant utilized in the etching process causes the stack to have a notched appearance.
