  • Patent number: 7481718
    Abstract: A golf club head having a recess located in a top portion thereof is described and claimed. The recess is located between the heel and the toe and extends toward the sole. The recess may be in the top line of the club head. An insert may be placed within the recess. The insert has a density that is less than the density of the club head body, and the insert preferably is a light-weight insert. The insert may include one or more dampening materials. The recess removes material from the club head, which in turn may do one or more of the following: increase the overall size of the club head, expand the size of the club head sweet spot, lower the club head center of gravity, and/or produce a greater club head moment of inertia. Thus, the recess and insert produce a more forgiving and playable golf club.

  • Patent number: 7467152
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a query generator for generating a query for obtaining selected data from a database. The query generator includes a processor which is adapted to receive an input indicating the selected data to be obtained. The processor then analyses the input to determine whether the input requires a joining of data in different tables, and an aggregation step. If so, the processor generates a query which causes the database to aggregate the data within each of the tables as required; and, join the aggregated data, the joined aggregated data representing the selected data.

  • Patent number: 7460744
    Abstract: In the ring type optical communication system of the present invention, in each OADM arranged on a ring network, an optical signal which has the same wavelength as the add wavelength assigned to a local node, of the optical signals of each wavelength contained in WDM light input from on the ring, is extracted from a drop port Pd without being terminated by a rejection/add filter, and input to an optical switch. In the optical switch, either one of the optical signal extracted from the rejection/add filter, or the add light added onto the ring from the local node, is selected, and the selected light is applied to the add port Pa of the rejection/add filter. As a result, communication between a central station and optional OADM nodes, and multicast communication over a plurality of ring networks can be realized by means of a simple node configuration.
