Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: This implementation method is used for an ultrasound scanner including an ultrasound scanner probe used to explore an area of interest on the human body, in which a drive system including a stepper motor and a carrier supporting a transducer element is controlled in order to pick up echo lines via the transducer element. An imaging algorithm is applied and image points are analyzed along an arc at a given depth for two series of successive emission and return echo lines, in order to determine the angular offset of the image points in the two successive arcs and calculate the angular offset of the emission echo lines and return lines induced by the operation of the drive system, and then offset is corrected.

Abstract: The timepiece assembly includes a first timepiece component (10) assembled with a distinct second timepiece component (20), the first timepiece component (10) having at least one functional part and a receiving opening (11) which can constitute a connecting hole distinct from the functional part, the wall delimiting the receiving opening (11) forming a first connecting surface (12), the second timepiece component (20) having a second connecting surface (22) and being assembled securely with the first timepiece component by direct or indirect contact between the respective first and second connecting surfaces (12, 22) at a securing surface, wherein at least one of the first and second connecting surfaces (12, 22) or a third connecting surface of an optional intermediate third component (30) is made of silicon oxidized by heat treatment so that the first and second timepiece components are secured to one another by the growth of an oxidized silicon layer

Abstract: A method of non-destructive checking of a component for aeronautics, the method including the following steps of acquiring a volume by tomographic imaging, of generating by computer simulation a surface corresponding to the component to be analyzed, of registering the volume and the surface by optimizing a similarity criterion defined by a function taking into account the correlation between normal vectors of a field of normal vectors of the surface displaced by transformation and a gradient of a gradient field of the volume, the optimization being performed as a function of transformations for determining the optimal transformation which maximizes the similarity criterion, of storing the optimal transformation, of establishing the correspondence between the surface and the volume obtained with the aid of the optimal transformation.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A golf club head comprises a body and at least one self-extracting pressed weight assembly. The body comprises a face plate positioned at a forward portion of the golf club head, a sole positioned at a bottom portion of the golf club head, a crown positioned at a top portion of the golf club head and a skirt positioned around a periphery of the golf club head between the sole and the crown.

The assembly has a drive portion and a threaded portion.

Abstract: In a method for providing advance notification of convenient purchase points includes receiving user data indicative of user locations while the user was driving, and times when the user was driving at those locations. The method also includes determining, by analyzing the user data, a route that the user is likely to drive and a time when the user is likely to begin driving the route, and identifying one or more entities each having a location proximate to the route. Identifying the entities includes analyzing, for each entity, a current price of a good or service provided by the entity and current prices of goods or services provided by one or more other entities. The method also includes providing, at a notification time that is at or prior to the time when the user is likely to begin driving the route, a notification to a mobile device of the user.
