  • Publication number: 20240192509
    Abstract: The disclosed flexible facial interface assemblies for head-mounted display systems may include a rigid support frame element and a flexible facial interface frame element. The rigid support frame element may be shaped and configured to physically support a display of a head-mounted display system in front of a user's eyes when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. The flexible facial interface frame element may be configured to flex to conform to the user's facial features when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. An outer periphery of the flexible facial interface frame element may be independently movable relative to an outer periphery of the rigid support frame element. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11951365
    Abstract: A shim or badge is affixed to a golf club body to produce a cap-back iron, giving the appearance of a hollow-body iron. In this way, the golf club can be manufactured with the performance benefits of a game improvement iron, while providing the appearance of a blade, player's iron, and/or a hollow-body iron. For example, by using a lightweight and rigid shim or badge to close a cavity opening and extend into the toe portion in the golf club body, the golf club head can provide increased stiffness in the topline, while lowering CG. Various shim or badge arrangements and materials can be used, and a filler material and/or damper can be included within the cavity to improve sound and feel, while minimizing loss in COR.

  • Patent number: 11918874
    Abstract: A damper is provided within the cavity of a golf club head and spans substantially the full length of the striking face from heel-to-toe of the golf club head. One or more cutouts and/or other relief is provided in the damper to reduce the surface area of the damper that contacts the rear surface of the striking face. By reducing the surface area that the damper contacts the rear surface of the striking face, the full length damper improves the sound and feel of the golf club head at impact and only minimally reduces performance of the golf club head. For example, the one or more cutouts and/or other relief maintains face flexibility, characteristic time (CT) and coefficient of restitution (COR) of the striking face.

  • Patent number: 9555621
    Abstract: A continuous printhead drop deflector system includes a gas flow duct including a wall, the wall including a porous member having pores through which liquid can flow and a liquid flow channel, the flow channel being separated from the air flow duct by the porous member, the flow channel includes; a first port for extracting liquid from a first portion of the liquid flow channel; a second port for supplying liquid to a second portion of the liquid flow channel; one or more paths in the liquid channel permitting fluid to flow from the second portion to the first portion; wherein liquid, supplied through the second port to the second portion of the liquid channel and through the one or more paths to the first portion of the liquid channel, contacts and wicks into the porous member before being extracted through the first port.

  • Patent number: 6494669
    Abstract: For a point-of-sales rug selection from a stack thereof, a method of working a raised stack from the bottom up so that a rug assuming successively the bottom position is permitted to descend, each in turn, to a floor display position and, after the first descent using lowering cables, the cables having a length portion in a taut vertical condition to serve as tracking guides for the vertical descent by gravity of successive rugs.
