Abstract: A golf putter head is provided that includes a base element, the base element including a golf ball striking surface, at least one alignment rail, a lip, the lip extending the entire front width of the golf putter head and a top surface, the top surface located at the rear of the golf putter head, an upper plate the upper plate configured to be secured to the base element at the lip and the top surface, the upper plate includes at least one aperature and the upper plate completely covering the top surface. The upper plate further includes at least one indicator marking, the at least one indicator marking configured to align with the at least one alignment rail and the aperature is sized such that the at least one alignment rail may be viewed through the aperature.

Abstract: A golf club head includes a heel, a toe, a level golf ball striking face extending from the heel to the toe and including a top edge and a bottom edge, and a patterned striking surface covering the level golf ball striking face extending to the heel, the toe, the top and the bottom edge. The patterned striking surface includes a plurality of generally pyramidal shaped extensions protruding from the level golf ball striking face, each of the pyramidal shaped extensions including a generally square base, four side walls and a top surface, each of the side walls extending outwardly a height H and at an angle ?, the angle ? being approximately equal to 60 degrees, from the golf ball striking face and the base, the center of the top surface of any pyramidal shaped extensions being separated from the centers of the top surfaces of all neighboring pyramidal shaped extensions by a width W.

Abstract: A golf club head includes a golf ball striking face having a patterned striking surface covering the striking face. The patterned striking surface includes a plurality of generally pyramidal shapes extending outwardly a height H and at an angle ? from the face. The pyramidal shapes have a top surface, which is separated from the top surfaces of neighboring pyramidal shapes by a width W.

Abstract: A golf putter head is provided that includes an upper plate and a base plate. The base plate further includes a striking surface. The mass of the putter head is distributed such that the mass of the upper plate is greater than the mass of the base plate, thereby positioning the center of gravity of the putter head above a centerline of said striking surface and an equator of a golf ball when the golf ball is positioned proximate to the striking surface of the golf putter head.

Abstract: Sodium hydroxide-water solutions that have freezing-melting point plateaus below 47.degree. F. can be used to store cooling capacity by their heat of fusion, and-compositions that freeze at about 41.degree. F. are suitable, particularly when nucleating agents such as sodium dichromate and dispersing agents such as a clay, are also used.

Abstract: A nucleating agent for solutions comprises a metal bar, magnetic tape adhered to a surface area of the bar and particulate magnetite on the surface of the tape. The magnetic field created by the tape holds the bar, tape and magnetite in fixed relation to each other.

Abstract: A cool storage composition that freezes at about 47.degree. F. is composed of a 39 percent NaOH-in-water solution to which has been added an ionizable, water-soluble salt, such as KCl.

Abstract: A nucleating agent for NaOH/H.sub.2 O solutions comprises a metal bar, magnetic tape adhered to a surface area of the bar and particulate magnetite on the surface of the tape. The magnetic field created by the tape holds the bar, tape and magnetite in fixed relation to each other.

Abstract: Sodium hydroxide-water solutions that have freezing-melting point plateaus below 46.degree. F. can be used to store cooling capacity by their heat of fusion, and compositions that freeze at about 41.degree. F. are suitable, particularly when nucleating agents such as sodium dichromate and dispersing agents such as a clay, are also used.

Abstract: A 41.degree. F. melting/freezing point NaOH in water solution employs a nucleating agent selected from the group consisting essentially of CaCO.sub.3, Fe.sub.3 O.sub.4, FeO.TiO.sub.2, SnO.sub.2, TeO.sub.2, LiAl(SiO.sub.4) and mixtures thereof. Xanthan gum may be used as a dispersant.

Abstract: A nestable, stackable container is formed from a container body having a forward portion with a convex surface adapted to mate with the concave surface of the rearward portion of the next adjacent container. The container also has rasied male die parts on its top wall adapted to mate with indented, female die parts on the bottom wall of an upwardly adjacent container.

Abstract: The combination of a cooling tower and a tank containing packaged, eutectoid salt compositions. The tower provides cooled water to freeze the salt compositions, which are later used to chill water for air-conditioning a building.

Abstract: A eutectoid salt hydrate composition (phase change material) utilized for the storage of thermal energy at a temperature less than 50.degree. F., in which the optimal mole ratio of potassium chloride to sodium sulfate to ammonium chloride is 1:4:4.

Abstract: An improved photovoltaic device including a solar panel and a container housing salt hydrate materials, in which the container is positioned in close proximity to the lower portion of the panel, which has no support-providing bottom wall, so that heat generated during operation of the photovoltaic cells will pass easily to the container for the salt hydrate materials, thus lowering the operating temperature of the cells.

Abstract: A photovoltaic device including a solar panel and a container housing phase change materials positioned together so that heat generated during operation of the cells in the panel will melt the phase change materials, thereby storing heat and lowering the operating temperature of the cells.
