Abstract: Light-weight and/or low density paint and coating formulations that yield light-weight coatings which exhibit advantageous durability and wear resistance, including golf club shafts incorporating such paint and coating formulations.

Abstract: In some aspects, a method of the present disclosure includes collecting user activity data from a client device. The method also includes defining an activity-productivity map that defines a rule for determining a unit of productivity based on the activity data. A productivity metric may be determined using the user activity data and the rule for determining the unit of productivity. Upon determining the productivity metric, a visual representation of the productivity metric may be provided.

Abstract: A method of serving a web page includes separating an original web page into a server-side executable portion and a server-side static portion. The server-side static portion is replaced with an identifier, and then a client-side executable program is created that will replace the identifier with the server-side static portion. The client-side executable program may be compressed in such a way that the server-side executable portion is stored in its original format. In response to a client request, the web server executes the resulting program and transmits the output to the requesting client. At the client, the response is decompressed if necessary and the client-side executable program is executed to integrated the server-side static portion with the server-side execution result.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for data transfer. The system may include a client having software adapted to display data; a storage; and client data. Further, the system may include a server having compressor data and information regarding data file types that have been partially compressed by the compressor data. In the system, the client may be operably coupled to the server for data and file transfer purposes.

Abstract: A stabilizing mechanism for rigid fixed and extension ladders that includes an anchorage assembly removably mounted to one of the rungs of a ladder. A linkage assembly is mounted to the anchorage assembly through a transversally and rotably mounted elongated base that permits the setting of linkage assembly in one of several angular positions. Two arched arm members are pivotally mounted to a plate and also, with two linkage arms that are pivotally mounted to a swivel bracket, this two linkage assembly permits the arch members to move coplanarly between two extreme positions. The arm members releasably embrace a support structure thereby providing a firm engagement of the ladder to the support structure. A stabilizing pad assembly includes two pads mounted to adjustable elongate members to engage surrounding surfaces for more stability. A release mechanism remotely disengages the ladder from the support structure after a user descends from the ladder.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of refractive optical elements includes (a) placing a substrate close to a starting material, both arranged inside a chamber; (b) vaporizing or subliming the starting material by means of light irradiation; and (c) depositing this vapour phase on the substrate. The coating deposited has a refractive optical functionality on account of its composition and profile and also presents an increase in the threshold of damage at high light intensities.

Abstract: A method and related apparatus for registering diffractive optical structures, in which: (a) a transparent substrate is positioned next to a starting material inside a chamber, (b) the starting material is vapourised or sublimated, (c) the vapour phase is deposited on the substrate, and (d) the area of the substrate on which the vapour phase was deposited is irradiated concurrently with a random distribution of the light intensity. The deposit has a diffractive optical functionality owing to the local changes produced in its structure, which are controlled by the distribution of the light intensity used in the production process.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for partial data compression which comprises selecting a file to be compressed, creating a copy of the file, the copied file comprising at least one start point and at least one end point, compressing data within the start point and the end point, and creating a new file comprising the compressed data and uncompressed data.
