Publication number: 20230085892Abstract: A system for locating a strand including fibers of a first woven preform material, the preform including, at the surface, strands of fibers of a second material and the strand including fibers of the first material forming a tracer. The system further includes a camera; a light source emitting a non-polarized incident beam configured to be directed towards the preform; a polarizer configured to polarize the non-polarized incident beam before interacting with the preform in order to obtain a polarized incident beam; and a crossed analyzer; the first material being chosen from among glass, aramid and aluminum oxide; the second material being chosen from among carbon and silicon carbide; the camera being configured to film a reflected beam originating from the interaction of the polarized incident beam with the preform, the reflected beam having previously crossed the crossed analyzer, so as to locate the tracer of the preform.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2021Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: SAFRANInventors: Benoît Vincent Pierre Lasjaunias, Rémi Magro, Romain Venat

Publication number: 20220288464Abstract: Golf club heads include white diffusing top surfaces to aid in club head alignment. Wood type club heads also include a dark diffusing club face so that a crown/face border is emphasized. Scorelines in wood type clubs can be provided with an intermediate contrast surface, and can be displaced from club face center to accommodate player perception when confronted with a white diffusing crown. Putter heads can include dark diffusing alignment lines, and iron-type club heads can include white diffusing surfaces at a sole portion of a club face, at a top line, or a top portion of a club face.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2021Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Todd P.

Patent number: 10737148Abstract: A golf club head has a high COR, is durable, and has desirable acoustic qualities. The club head includes a body portion, a striking face and a crown forming a hollow cavity of at least 150 cc in volume. The body portion defines a front opening and an upper opening, and it includes a sole and a side section that extends rearward of the front opening. The striking plate is secured to the body portion, enclosing the front opening. While partially assembled, final weighting and/or other attachment of other members to the inner surface of the club head can be preformed, as desired. The crown is secured to the body portion, enclosing the upper opening. A surface veil may also be provided about a junction of the crown and body.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Drew T.
