Publication number: 20240157207Abstract: Golf club heads include at least one weight port situated to retain weights and positioned above an approximate club face geometric center with the club in a standard address position. One, two, or more weight ports can be located above the club face center in a club crown or other portion of a club body. Club head vertical center of gravity can be selected to compensate dynamic loft associated with locating the club head center of gravity well behind the club face. Three-dimensional adjustment of club head center of gravity is possible.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Kraig Alan Willett, Todd P.

Patent number: 11975248Abstract: Disclosed golf club heads include a body defining an interior cavity, a face, a sole, a crown, and a hosel. Certain embodiments include a weight channel positioned in the sole and defining a path along the sole. Some embodiments include a weight member positioned in the weight channel that is configured to be adjusted to any of a range of selectable positions to adjust mass properties of the golf club head. A fastener may be configured to secure the weight member in any of the selectable positions, while the fastener itself, regardless of where the weight member is positioned along the path, may be secured to the body at a fixed location that is independent of the position of the weight member along the path.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Christopher John Harbert, Todd P. Beach

Publication number: 20240135433Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for dynamically generating virtual marketplace platforms are presented. The system receives a set of facility data, a set of selections for a set of user interaction objects, and a set of object placement selections. The set of user interaction objects includes a first subset and a second subset. The system generates a virtual facility comprising the facility data and the set of user interaction objects distributed based on the object placement selections. The system receives user data for a user interacting with the virtual facility and one or more objects of the first and second subset of user interaction objects, dynamically arranges the second subset of user interaction objects into a second arrangement and causes presentation of the virtual facility and the set of user interaction objects to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: David Beach, John Tapley

Publication number: 20230230097Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to a transaction exchange platform using a streaming data platform (SDP) and microservices to process transactions according to review and approval workflows. The transaction exchange platform may receive transactions from origination sources, which may be added to the SDP as transaction objects. As the transactions are processed, the transactions may require access to a resource (e.g., a key value in a database). A microservice processing the transaction may request, from a locking microservice, a lock for the resource. The locking microservice may query a local cache to determine whether a lock exists for the resource. If the local cache determines that no lock exists for resource, the locking mechanism may employ a consensus protocol to obtain a lock for the resource from a plurality of clusters. If consensus is reached, a lock for the resource may be granted to the requesting microservice.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Brian T. Burnett, Shane Champion, John Beach, Jordan May, Earle Michael Lee, Logan Danovan, Leonard Ports, Dustin Deal, David Smit

Publication number: 20230070063Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device that is configured to obtain a metadata structure corresponding to a workflow automation. The metadata structure defines a first tier comprising individual tasks, a second tier comprising a plurality of workflows each comprising a grouping of the individual tasks and a third tier comprising an orchestration comprising a grouping of the workflows. The processing device is configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the metadata structure that is configured to present the plurality of tiers to a user. The GUI comprises a plurality of elements each activatable to enable or disable corresponding individual tasks and workflows. The GUI is presented to a user and an activation of a given element is received from the user. The activation disables the corresponding individual task or workflow for the workflow automation. The workflow automation is executed based at least in part on the activation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventor: Walter John Beach

Patent number: 8798422Abstract: A deterministic methodology is provided for designing optical fibers that support field-flattened, ring-like higher order modes. The effective and group indices of its modes can be tuned by adjusting the widths of the guide's field-flattened layers or the average index of certain groups of layers. The approach outlined here provides a path to designing fibers that simultaneously have large mode areas and large separations between the propagation constants of its modes.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: Michael Joseph Messerly, Raymond John Beach, John Edward Heebner, Jay Walter Dawson, Paul Henry Pax

Publication number: 20060027582Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for using a liner in conjunction with the cage of a bottle and cage type IBC. The invention involves use of a support that is placed inside the cage of a bottle and cage type IBC. In one embodiment, the support may be a thin sheet of material that conforms to the inner surface of the cage. In an alternative embodiment, the support may be a bottle from a cage and bottle type IBC that has been modified by removing the discharge valve spout. In the case that a liner is used in conjunction with the cage, the support forms a barrier between the liner and the cage to prevent the liner from extruding through the bars of the cage. An aperture in the support may allow a discharge valve of a liner to extend outwardly for easy access to the item.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2005Publication date: February 9, 2006Inventor: John Beach

Patent number: 5953017Abstract: A display-object manager that manages a display of object identifiers on a display screen. The object identifiers are organized in a tree structure, and represent objects. The display-object manager displays the object identifiers and then selects a subset of the object identifiers to compress. All members of the subset are siblings in the tree structure, and their parent has additional children that are not in the subset. The display-object manager replaces the display of the subset with a new identifier that represents the subset.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1997Date of Patent: September 14, 1999Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark John Beach, Brian John Cragun

Patent number: 4056704Abstract: The volumes of hot gas required for use in certain large scale chemical processes may be heated to e.g. above 2500.degree. C by means of a distributed electrical discharge in an apparatus in which the supply of gas to a heating zone is through a plurality of adjacently positioned conduits arranged to constrain the gas at its point of entry thereto into a plurality of parallel streams and in which a plurality of electrodes are positioned respectively in the plurality of gas streams. If the dimensions of the conduit and of the electrodes are suitably controlled relative to the quantity of gas the distributed discharge may be maintained in the absence of seed or of a flame thus avoiding a source of contamination of the heated gas.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1975Date of Patent: November 1, 1977Assignee: Laporte Industries LimitedInventors: Anthony John Beach, Geoffrey Frank Eveson, Reginald Keith Leedham
