Abstract: A hollow wood-type golf club head having an increased weight budget and improved mass characteristics at minimum structural mass is disclosed. The club head has a striking face portion, a sole portion, a skirt portion, and a crown portion having a total surface area. A hosel portion joins the club head for connecting a shaft to the club head. The crown portion has a major crown portion and a minor crown portion, the major portion having greater surface area than the minor portion, and the major portion being displaced vertically lower relative to the minor crown portion. The major crown portion may have a generally concave curvature and the minor crown portion may have a generally convex curvature such that the major crown portion is in effect inverted with respect to the minor crown portion. The major crown portion may be upwardly inclined from the heel to the toe of the head. The head may exhibit a parabolic top view silhouette.

Abstract: The operability of light-based semiconductor die analysis is enhanced using a method and arrangement that directs light between a light source and a die. In one example embodiment of the present invention, a light source is directed to a die in a semiconductor analysis arrangement using a fiber optic cable. The analysis arrangement is adapted to use light received via the fiber optic cable to analyze the die. The analysis includes one or more light-based applications, such as stimulating a selected portion of the die with the light and detecting a response therefrom. In this manner, light can be directed to a die in a variety of analysis implementations, such as for analyzing a die in a test chamber.

Abstract: The operability of light-based semiconductor die analysis is enhanced using a method and arrangement that can detect light leakage between a light source and a die. In one example embodiment of the present invention, a light source is directed to a semiconductor analysis arrangement using, for example, a fiber optic cable. The analysis arrangement is adapted to use light from the light source for analyzing the die. A light detection arrangement detects a condition of light leakage from the system and generates a signal representing the condition of light leakage. The generated signal can then be used to control the semiconductor analysis arrangement, such as by deactivating the light source in response to a detected leak, or by allowing the light source to function in response to not detecting a leak.

Abstract: Semiconductor die analysis is enhanced using a system that is adapted to perturb a die in a test chamber and to detect a response from the die to the perturbation. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor die analysis system includes a test chamber and a docking arrangement adapted to dock with the test chamber. A die is held in the docking arrangement and is presented inside of the test chamber when the docking arrangement is docked with the chamber. Two or more perturbation devices are used to perturb the die, and controller is adapted to control the perturbation. A data acquisition arrangement receives data from the die in response to the perturbation, and the data is used for analyzing the die.

Abstract: A system provides automatic modem dialing for a dial-up connection to a computer network with an automatic dialer when a network application attempts to communicate with the network. The automatic dialer is installable in a network programming interface to monitor the network application's requests to communicate on the computer network through the network programming interface. Dialing user interfaces and dialogs are installable in the automatic dialer on a per dial-up connection basis. Their installability allows the automatic dialer to be implemented separately from the network programming interface, and the dialing user interface and dialogs to be implemented separately from the automatic dialer. The network application has an offline browsing mode which allows viewing of information recently accessed from the computer network while being disconnected from the computer network.

Abstract: Networking software is configured for connecting to the Internet with a set-up automation software without disturbing the networking software's configuration for connecting to another computer network, such as a corporate local area network. Where installing the TCP/IP network protocol for communicating on the Internet also causes binding to a device configured for connecting to the other computer network, the set-up automation software records whether the TCP/IP network protocol was previously bound to that device and unbinds the TCP/IP network protocol from the device after installing the TCP/IP network protocol if not previously bound to the device. The set-up automation software also unbinds file and printer sharing services from a device used for connecting to the Internet. Where a dial-up device is used for connecting to the Internet, a dial-time security check and configuration check software verifies that the network software is correctly and securely configured for connecting to the Internet.
