  • Patent number: 11938382
    Abstract: A method of making a golf club head includes the steps of providing a face of a club head, the face having a ball striking surface and a perimeter defining a border of the ball striking surface, providing a golf club head body that includes a crown, a sole, a toe, and a heel, attaching the face to a front portion of the club head body, and milling the ball striking surface and an edge portion of the face to cut a machined surface into the ball striking surface and the edge portion. The milled surface includes a plurality of first grooves located along the ball striking surface and defining a first depth, and a plurality of second grooves located adjacent the perimeter along the edge portion and defining a second depth. The first depth is different than the second depth.

  • Patent number: 10207375
    Abstract: A system and method for solid state metal plate repair is provided. A solid state metal plate repair system may comprise a drill, a cutter and a plug. The plug may be configured to fill a void created by the cutter. The plug may also be configured to create a metallurgical bond with the metal plate during a repair operation. The plug may also be configured to shear from the drill (e.g., drive motor) when an expected rise in torque indicates a sufficient bond has been achieved in the repair. The systems and methods described herein may be used on specialty alloys wherein other repair methods are undesirable.

  • Publication number: 20070036680
    Abstract: A microstructure-based chemical sensor that can be interrogated by a remote observer. The device acts as an electromagnetic wave filter in the optical region of the spectrum, filtering one or more wavelength bands where the band spectral notch location shifts in response to the accumulation of material on the surface of the microstructure sensor. The apparatus has a substrate having a surface relief structure containing dielectric bodies with one or more physical dimensions smaller than the wavelength of the filtered electromagnetic waves, such structures repeated in an array covering at least a portion of the surface of the substrate. A retro-reflecting structure allows interrogation of the sensor over a wide field of view. The device is particularly useful as a water monitoring device in hard to reach locations, and as a chemical warfare or explosives detector that can be read from a safe distance.

  • Publication number: 20060262250
    Abstract: A microstructure-based polarizer is described. The device acts as an electromagnetic wave filter in the optical region of the spectrum, filtering multiple wavelength bands and polarization states. The apparatus comprises a substrate having a surface relief structure containing dielectric bodies with physical dimensions smaller than the wavelength of the filtered electromagnetic waves, such structures repeated in an array covering at least a portion of the surface of the substrate. The disclosed structure is particularly useful as a reflective polarizer in a liquid crystal display, or as polarizing color filter elements at each pixel in a display. Other applications such as polarization encoded security labels, polarized room lighting, and color filter arrays for electronic imaging systems are made practical by the device.

  • Publication number: 20060121187
    Abstract: A method for depositing a metallic material onto a substrate comprises the steps of placing the substrate in a vacuum chamber, inserting a spray gun nozzle into a port of the vacuum chamber, and depositing a powdered metallic material onto a surface of the substrate without melting the powdered metal material. The depositing step comprises accelerating particles of the powdered metal materials within the vacuum chamber to a velocity so that upon impact the particles plastically deform and bond to a surface of the substrate.
