  • Publication number: 20150165895
    Abstract: An autonomous mobile sensor platform may be provided which may be capable of freely roaming within an environment. The mobile sensor platform may include a wheel that may be laterally self stabilizing, and capable and encircle a robot body. The mobile sensor platform may sense one or more conditions using one or more types of sensors and react based on the sensed conditions. Examples of reactions may include alerting a user about the conditions. The mobile sensor platform can be used to monitor an environment or individuals within the environment.

  • Publication number: 20150038251
    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: 20100234125
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a golf club and golf ball combination that maximizes the distance of travel when the golf club strikes the golf ball. More specifically, a golf club and golf ball combination capable of generating a higher launch angle combined with the lower spin rate to maximize the distance. The golf club in accordance with the present invention may generally have a lower center of gravity, a higher loft angle, or may even have a coating on the club face that optimizes the coefficient of friction between the golf club and the golf ball. The golf ball in accordance with the present invention may generally have a ratio of the coefficient of lift (CL) near the beginning of flight to the coefficient of lift near the end of the flight within a range that maximizes flight distance, with similar ratios in appropriate ranges for the coefficient of drag (CD) and the lift-to-drag ratio (CL/CD).
