  • Publication number: 20240091596
    Abstract: Golf ball comprising one or more layers and/or indicia formed from a fluorescent composition comprising: a base polymer; and a colorant; wherein the colorant is a small-molecule ionic isolation lattice formed from one or more fluorescent dye and one or more cyanostar macrocycles. The one or more fluorescent dyes may include at least one dye selected from xanthenes, oxazines, styryls, cyanines, trianguleniums, or mixtures thereof. The colorant may be a dispersion of the small-molecule ionic isolation lattice in a carrier medium or a powder. In particular embodiments, at least one of the one or more layers is a cover layer and/or a coating layer.

  • Patent number: 11650718
    Abstract: Flexible graphic element objects in a process plant are configurable both in a run-time operating environment in which a process is being controlled and in a configuration environment. An instantiated flexible graphic element object may be a display view or may be another graphic element included on a display view. A graphic element object may be linked to and/or derived from another graphic element object, and changes to a particular graphic element object may be propagated to its derivations, e.g., according to a distribution policy. Changes to definitions corresponding to a particular graphic element object (e.g., to the definition of a graphic element attribute such as a shape, animation, event handler or property) may be overridden or modified in another object derived from the particular graphic element object. The modified derived object may be renamed and saved separately from the particular graphic element object.

  • Patent number: 10474774
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for sorting Integrated Circuits (chips), particularly microprocessor chips, and particularly that predicts chip performance or power for sorting purposes. The system and method described herein uses a combination of performance-predicting parameters that are measured early in the process, and applies a unique method to project where the part, e.g., microprocessor IC, will eventually be sorted. Sorting includes classifying the IC product to a subset of a family of products with the product satisfying certain performance characteristics or specifications, in the early stages of manufacturing, e.g., before the end product is fully fabricated.

  • Publication number: 20020140600
    Abstract: The far field pattern of a slotted planar array antenna is predicted at extreme angles using an improved prediction method. The prediction method acquires planar near field data for a slotted planar array antenna and then back-transforms the planar near field data to the aperture of the antenna corresponding to X position, Y position, amplitude and phase data for the array antenna. An interpolation process calculates the excitation coefficient (phase and amplitude) of each slot element of the antenna using the back-transformed data. The excitation coefficients are then processed using an array factor program to predict the far field pattern of the antenna.
