Abstract: A lightweight compression molded multicolor golf grip having at least a first section and a second section of differing colors and composed of elastomer compounds joined by cross-linking across a sharply defined cross-color interface having an interface transition zone beyond which there is no mixing of the colors. The grip has a soft feel and unique compression characteristics achieved in some embodiments through the controlled use of an expanding blowing agent in a rubber compound. Achieving the sharply defined cross-color interface is due in part to the use of complementary geometries at opposing interface edges to increase the stability of the interface and reduce the flow during molding associated with the increased viscosity of low density rubber compounds, promote cross-linking of the sections, and better distribute and control the consolidation pressure.

Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for classifying SpO2 levels using smartphones are described. A wideband light source (e.g., a flash) may be used to illuminate a finger. A wideband imaging sensor (e.g., a camera) may be used to capture images of the illuminated finger. The smartphone may apply per-color channel gain adjustments to the captured images. The adjusted pixel data may be used as the basis of input to a classifier (e.g., a deep learning model). The classifier may be trained on ground truth data, such as from an induced hypoxia study. The classifier may output an SpO2 level blood in the finger.
