Abstract: A transverse elevator system having generally horizontal and generally vertical components in a building with horizontal pathways guiding first passenger vehicles on each floor that connect to a plurality of vertical pathways guiding second passenger vehicles intersecting the horizontal pathways at stops at the points of intersection, wherein passenger transfer from horizontal to vertical movement is achieved by locking the first vehicles to the second vehicles with passenger chutes defining panels that extend from the vertical pathways and lock the first vehicles to the vertical pathways. In a second embodiment, passengers are carried in a separate enclosed CAPULSEs that shift from the first vehicles to the second vehicles obviating the need for complex horizontal to vertical drive transfer mechanisms.

Abstract: A golf club head with a high spring rate face assembly, particularly one designed for driver-type heads, including a body with a ball striking face and rearwardly extending depending sole and crown walls and a hosel, with a high spring rate annular spring seated against the rear surface of the face with a short spring height, where the spring has a high face force to deflection ratio, and is preloaded against the face.
