  • Patent number: 11962652
    Abstract: A method of using a sensor platform of a garment of a wearer in order to interact with a remote networked device using a plurality of sensed biometric data, the method comprising: receiving from the sensors a set of the plurality of biometric data; comparing the set to a data model including a plurality of model data parameters; determining whether said comparing indicates a need for a command to be sent to the remote networked device in order to effect a change in an operational characteristic of the networked device; sending the command to the networked device; receiving a further set of the plurality of biometric data; further comparing the further set to the data model; and determining whether said further comparing indicates a need for a further command to be sent to the remote networked device in order to further effect a change in an operational characteristic of the networked device.

  • Patent number: 9387374
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a set of golf club heads is disclosed. The set includes golf club heads with peripheral weights. The dimensions and configuration of at least the peripheral weights are changed from club-to-club along the set so that the center of gravity rises from the long irons to the short irons. By raising the center of gravity from the long irons to the short irons, a golfer will see a peak trajectory height along a line for each club head that is substantially more consistent along that line throughout the set than prior art clubs provide.

  • Publication number: 20160101330
    Abstract: A golf club head with a variable center of gravity is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention discloses a wedge type golf club head wherein the center of gravity of the golf club head is adjustable along an x-axis in a heel to toe direction utilizing weights that are placed substantially near a sole portion of the golf club head. The resulting golf club head may generally have a more toe biased center of gravity location, especially when compared to a traditional golf club head.
