Patent number: 6863622Abstract: This invention relates to a golf club head with an adjustable tilt mechanism which is designed to be mounted between a shaft and a head. Simply speaking, the neck of the head forms a long adjusting cavity and the shaft is held in the long adjusting cavity of the head by the pivot but pin permitting left or right swing. The shaft is further locked in the lock ring and clamped in place by the tie land and tie slot carved on the head to retain the shaft fast within the long adjusting hole of the head. This mechanism permits an adequate adjustment of tilt angle (an angle of elevation) of the face. At the case of a long flight of ball striking, the face at a desirable tilt angle will render the ball a low or high parabola along the flight course to fly over the obstacle.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2003Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Inventor: Hsin I Hsu

Patent number: 6862319Abstract: A coded moving-picture signal is decoded by a resolution-converting motion compensation process and a resolution-converting inverse discrete cosine transform, both of which decrease the resolution of the picture, thereby reducing the amount of reference picture data that has to be stored and accessed. The reference picture data may also be stored in a compressed form. The resolution conversion and compression processes may also be used in the coding of the moving-picture signal. The resolution-converting inverse discrete cosine transform may be performed by output of intermediate results that have not been combined by addition and subtraction in a butterfly computation.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2003Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Zhixiong Wu

Patent number: 6858875Abstract: A light-emitting-element array has a semiconductor layer formed on a current-blocking layer. Light-emitting elements are formed in the semiconductor layer by diffusion of an impurity of a different conductive type. An isolation trench divides the semiconductor layer into a first region and a remaining region, and divides the array of light-emitting elements into segments disposed alternately in these two regions, each segment preferably including one or two light-emitting elements. A first shared interconnecting pad is electrically coupled to the light-emitting elements in the first region by electrical paths not crossing the isolation trench. A second shared interconnecting pad is electrically coupled to light-emitting elements in the remaining semiconductor region by electrical paths crossing the isolation trench. The array can then be driven by a number of separate interconnecting pads equal to half the number of the light-emitting elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2003Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: Oki Data CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Hamano, Masumi Taninaka, Masaharu Nobori, Masumi Koizumi
