  • Patent number: 12229186
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that provides users with information pertaining to the audio properties at one or more points of interest. A database associated the audio properties with the points of interest is built using audio input received from devices at the points of interest. The device may determine that audio properties associated with the received audio input. The audio properties may determine a type of background noise and/or a volume of the background noise. If the type of background noise is music, the audio properties may further include a music genre, a title of a song, whether the music is recorded or there is a live band, etc. The audio properties associated with the point of interest may be updated in a database real time.

  • Publication number: 20070042840
    Abstract: A method for making a golf tee uses a bamboo rod having a top end and a bottom end and a wooden cylinder having a top and a bottom. The method has a cutting step, a trimming step and an assembly step. The cutting step forms a concave seat in the top of the cylinder and a mounting hole coaxially in the bottom of the cylinder. The trimming step trims a pointed tip on the bottom end of the rod to form a tee shaft with a top end and a tapered sidewall in the sidewall of the cylinder to form a tee head. The mounting step mounts the top end of the tee shaft in the mounting hole in the bottom of the tee head to form a golf tee. The golf tee made from the method has a strong structure without wasting wood.

  • Publication number: 20050044691
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a forged golf iron club head has acts of forming a body in an investment casting process, integrally forming a striking face with a hosel in a forging process and combining the striking face with the body to achieve a golf club head with a striking face. Accordingly, the iron club head has an enhanced performance with a larger profile size and more permeate weight design to gain an excellent accuracy and to prolong the distance for golf ball flying. In addition, the versatile shape design for more permeate weight or low and deep center of gravity design can help to gain the larger sweet spot area and gain more forgiveness, and makes the forged iron head to be an “easy hit” iron club iron. And it still keeps the “pure energy transmission” function of the classic forging.

  • Publication number: 20020082113
    Abstract: A head for a child's golf club includes a body with a face for striking a golf ball and a shank extending from the body. The shank is configured to be securely attached to a shaft of the golf club. A protective coating covers the head except the face to absorb the reactive force when striking a golf ball. The protective coating is a resilient, flexible material and is rubber in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 5776011
    Abstract: A metalwood golf club head is provided by attaching three distinct stamped pieces: a face and hosel piece, a crown piece and a bottom piece. The hosel of the face and hosel piece has a diameter and a narrowed section adjacent the heel, the narrowed section having a width from the toe to heel direction which is less than the diameter of the hosel. The bottom piece includes a threaded opening for threadably coupling a removable weight which may be selected from a set of removable weights, with each removable weight in the set having a different weight. Weighting is provided on a rear surface of the face, and may take the form of either a plurality of concentric masses or a spiral mass extending rearwardly from the rear surface of the face.
