  • Publication number: 20190321704
    Abstract: A head for a ball striking device includes a bracing member connected to an upper sole surface located on the sole of the body opposite the bottom sole surface. The bracing member includes a first end connected to a first point on the upper sole surface, a second end connected to a second point on the upper sole surface spaced from the first point, and a bridge portion extending between the first and second ends. The bridge portion extends upward from the upper sole surface and is spaced from the upper sole surface. The bridge portion may be formed by one or more trusses, and may define a generally triangular shape in one embodiment. The first and second ends may be connected to the upper sole surface using a variety of techniques, e.g., welding or other integral joining technique, integral forming, adhesive or other bonding material, or other technique. The location of the bracing member may be determined using a modal analysis to determine a maximum displacement region.

  • Publication number: 20190319049
    Abstract: Various designs are provided to mitigate or solve limitation on the bendability of an active matrix backplanes: including breaking large rigid silicon chips (ICs) into smaller rigid ICs, changing the orientation of rigid ICs, changing the placement of the ICs on the array, thinning the ICs to the point where the Si is flexible, and replacing the ICs with high quality TFT processing which can be done on flexible substrates.

  • Publication number: 20190319063
    Abstract: Transitioning conventional x-ray detector materials and structures to bendable or flexible (e.g., plastic) substrates makes them rugged against breakage when dropped but exposes the detectors to damage if bent. Disclosed are bendable digital x-ray detector structures that are rugged with regard to bending as well as dropping. The structures provide strain matching between layers so that a detector backplane is in and/or near the mechanical neutral plane and therefore less susceptible to bending stress.

  • Patent number: 10382448
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for detecting command injection attacks. A positive, taint inference method includes receiving signature fragments on one hand, converting command injection instructions into command fragments on another hand, thus identifying potential attacks upon the condition that a command injection instruction includes critical untrusted parts by using signature fragments. A system detects command injection attacks using this kind of method, and remediates and rejects potential attacks.

  • Patent number: 10332007
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for generating document training sets is provided. Unclassified documents are provided to two or more classifiers. A classification code assigned to each unclassified document is received. A determination is made as to whether a disagreement exists between classification codes assigned to a common unclassified document via different classifiers. The common unclassified document with a disagreement in classification codes are provided for further review. Results of the further review include one of a new classification code and confirmation of one of the assigned classification codes. The unclassified documents for which a disagreement exists are grouped as a training set.

  • Publication number: 20190091524
    Abstract: A ball striking device includes a ball striking plate having a front surface configured to strike a ball and a rear surface opposite the front surface. The ball striking plate has a desired-contact region and a perimeter. One or more spoke-like reinforcement ribs may be located on the rear surface and may radiate away from the desired-contact region toward the perimeter. At least one of the spoke-like reinforcement ribs may be located in an upper-toe quadrant or in an upper-heel quadrant of the rear surface. One or more encircling reinforcement ribs may be located on the rear surface. The one or more encircling reinforcement ribs may be at least partially encircling the desired-contact region. A thickened portion of the ball striking plate may be positioned behind the desired-contact region of the ball striking plate. The ball striking device may be a golf club head.
