Abstract: The present invention relates to a converter unit (10) for converting an input voltage (V10) to an output voltage (V20). The converter comprises input terminals (12, 14) for connecting the converter unit (10) to a voltage supply (16) and for receiving the input voltage (V10) from the voltage supply (16) and output terminals (18, 20) for connecting the converter unit (10) to a load for driving the load. A controllable switch (22) is connected to an inductor (26). The converter unit further comprises a current detector (34) for detecting a current (130) of the inductor (26), a voltage slope detector (38) for detecting a slope of a voltage (V30) measured across the controllable switch (22), and a control unit (32) for controlling the controllable switch (22) on the basis of the inductor current (130) and the voltage slope.

Abstract: An adjustable golf club is disclosed. The club can be adjusted by moving one or more sliders located proximate the heel of the club. The sliders can move to enable the loft and lie of the club to be adjusted independently. To adjust the club, a user can loosen a fastener, reposition the sliders, and re-tighten the fastener. The one or more sliders can slide against a spherical surface with its origin at the center of rotation of the shaft. In this configuration, when the sliders are pressed against the spherical surface, the spherical surface can enable the club to remain properly adjusted.

Abstract: A multiple inductive component (100) comprises: - a cylindrical drum core component (120) with at least two axially spaced circumferential grooves (131, 132) in its cylindrical outer surface (121), a separation disc portion (111) between said two circumferential grooves and two outer disc portions (112, 113) at the sides of the said two circumferential grooves, respectively, directed away from the separation disc portion; - at least one first winding (141) arranged in a first one (131) of said grooves; - at least one second winding (142) arranged in a second one (132) of said grooves; - a cylindrical shell core component (150) arranged coaxially around the cylindrical drum core component; - two outer air gaps (162, 163) between the cylindrical shell core component and said two outer disc portions, respectively. The separation disc portion is magnetically short circuited with the cylindrical shell core component.

Abstract: An adjustable golf club is disclosed. The adjustable golf club can include a club head having a sole. The sole of the club head may have two or more tracks located thereon. Each track can be configured to receive at least one weight. The two or more tracks may be three tracks. The three tracks can comprise an elongated central track, a first short track disposed on a first side of the elongated central track, and a second short track disposed on the second side of the elongated central track.

The wave can be positioned between the front and rear sidewalls, and can include a valley portion at the lowest point of the wave such that the valley portion does not protrude below the sole. The wave slot can also have two, three, or more waves, which can each be the same or different heights.

Abstract: A tubular connection includes a pin member having external wedge threads configured to engage a box member having corresponding internal wedge threads, and a solid lubricant coating applied on at least one of the internal and external wedge threads wherein the solid lubricant coating comprises a first uniform layer of a dry corrosion inhibiting coating made of an epoxy resin containing particles of zinc and a second uniform layer of a dry lubricant coating covering the first uniform layer.

Abstract: A process for separating Co from Ni in an aqueous solution comprises subjecting the solution to extraction and using kinetic differences between Ni and Co in the extraction for achieving at least a partial separation of Co from Ni. This is effected by controlling the duration of the extraction so that a major portion of Co and a minor portion of Ni is extracted from the solution to produce a loaded extractant, enriched in Co and depleted in Ni compared to the feed solution, and a Co-depleted raffinate containing Ni. In a further embodiment, the invention utilizes kinetic differences between Ni and Co during striping for effecting separation of Ni and Co. The loaded extractant can be subjected to a bulk stripping or a selective stripping operation to obtain Co and Ni solutions from which Ni and Co can be recovered. The process may be incorporated in a hydrometallurgical process for the extraction of Ni and/or Co from an ore or concentrate containing Ni and Co.

Abstract: A threaded connection includes a pin member comprising a first pin step and a second pin step, and pin wedge threads disposed on each of the first and second pin steps and a box member comprising a first box step and a second box step, and box wedge threads disposed on each of the first and second box steps, wherein an axial separation of the first and second pin steps differs from an axial separation of the first and second box steps.
