Publication number: 20250032869Abstract: A golf grip defines a body having a length extending between an upper cap end and a lower mouth end, the body including a bore for receiving the shaft of the golf club. The body includes a tapered portion that extends along at least about 75 percent of the length of the body between an upper location and a lower location, the bore extending longitudinally through the tapered portion. The tapered portion includes a front side, a back side, a left side, and a right side, the tapered portion defining a width between the left and right sides and a depth between the front and back sides. The tapered portion has a reverse taper between the left and right sides that expands the width of the tapered portion as the tapered portion extends from the upper location to the lower location. The tapered portion has a second reverse taper defined between the front and back sides that expands the depth of the tapered portion as the tapered portion extends from the upper location to the lower location.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Gregory William CAVILL, Michael James KLOECKER, Bruce A.

Publication number: 20240400908Abstract: An eFuels plant and process for producing synthetic hydrocarbons using renewable energy are disclosed. The eFuels plant comprises a hydrocarbon synthesis (HS) system and a renewable feed and carbon/energy recovery (RFCER) system. The RFCER comprises an electrolysis unit to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and carbon dioxide are fed to the HS system to produce synthetic hydrocarbon products. The process further comprises a thermal desalination unit, a direct air capture unit, an oxygen-fired heater, a steam turbine generator, a heat recovery unit, anaerobic and/or aerobic wastewater treatment, or a combination thereof. Process streams of and heat generated in the HS and RFCER systems are integrated to improve energy, hydrogen, and carbon efficiency and maintain stable operations during power fluctuations to the eFuels plant.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2023Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Jeroen Harrie MOORS, Andrew John TOLAN, Brendon Bruce MILLER

Publication number: 20230191212Abstract: A golf club grip with reminder rib is provide that has a hollow main body having an inner diameter configured to fit to a shaft, wherein the hollow main body comprises a protruding feature that extends along a length of the hollow main body. The protruding feature protrudes from an outer surface of the hollow main body without requiring the shaft to be inserted in the hollow main body. By not requiring the golf grip to be on the shaft in order to cause a protrusion above the outer surface of the main body, the reminder rib formed by the protruding feature can be ensured to be about 0.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Gregory W. Cavill, Michael J. Kloecker, Keith D. Keller, Craig R. Balnis, Bruce A. Miller, Daryl A. Vetor
