Abstract: A golf ball including an outer surface having dimples located on the outer surface, at least one core, at least one mantle layer, at least one cover layer, and a plurality of images located on the outer surface, the images being provided with at least two contrasting colors, wherein the plurality of images each have a Major Peak Ratio of between 0.18 and 1, a Major Valley Ratio of between 0.18 and 1, a slope value of between ?5 and 5, and an intercept value between 5 and 80.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vibration damper with adjustable damping force, comprising an inner cylinder with at least one working chamber which exhibits a flow connection to a damping-valve device, wherein the damper-valve device is arranged outside of an outer cylinder, wherein the flow connection has been realized in a component that is separate from the inner cylinder, wherein the separate component is constituted by a pressure-stage adapter which constitutes a part of the working chamber and which exhibits a coupling to the damping-valve device, wherein a base piece is arranged at the end of the inner cylinder, wherein the pressure-stage adapter and the base piece have been combined to form a pressure-stage adapter device.

Abstract: There is a tonneau or covering device for covering an open storage portion of a vehicle. The tonneau includes a cover, a cord, and/or a plurality of couplers, such as but not limited to hooks. The cord is disposed circumferentially about the cover and coupled thereto through sheathes. There are double-hook couplers including a first hook removably coupleable to a cord and a second hook coupled to the first hook and removably coupleable to the vehicle. The second hook may include a U-shaped member. The first hook may include a tapering hook opening. The first hook may include a flexible hook opening.

Abstract: A vacuum generator of the ejector type includes a control valve subjected to frictional damping forces wherein the frictional damping forces are varied in response to changes in pressure differentials in the device such that the control valve is enabled to move quickly between opened and closed conditions thereby avoiding throttling of the motive fluid.
