Abstract: A golf club head, preferably a putter head, comprising at least one structural support member is disclosed herein. The structural support member has a smooth, organic-looking aesthetic, with a continuously changing curvature along its spline and at least one surface, and preferably connects one portion of the golf club head to another portion. Where the support member connects to other portions of the golf club head, the surfaces of the member have a curvature that changes smoothly and continuously, lacking any sharp corners. The support member may be part of a lattice structure formed via binder jetting.

Abstract: Methods of creating golf club components with complex structures that would be difficult, impossible, or cost prohibitive to produce, such as lattice structures, beam structures, and complex surface-based structures, are described herein. In particular, a binder jet machine is used create complex structures to optimize weighting, sound, and performance of golf club heads. The method preferably includes the steps of designing a golf club head component in CAD using optimization software, printing the component from a powdered material, and then removing excess powder from the component via port holes that extend into an external surface of the component and communicate with interior voids within the component.

Abstract: A tillage tool achieves stability at higher speed ranges by providing stabilization with additional damping through damping elements on the front support wheels and on the constant level linkage and on the rear tool. The tillage tool maintains maximally one longitudinally positioned unsuspended load path to the ground provided by unsuspended depth gauging wheels longitudinally positioned parallel to a front to rear rocking axis to allow for constant settings throughout the depth, speed, and field condition ranges.

Abstract: Horizontal port scanning enables an attacker to gain information about the services running on a host computer system and/or about the users of the computer system so that the subsequent attacks can be targeted to those services and/or those users. A horizontal port scanning detection system enables a network administrator to use a system of cascading ring buffers to maximize network resources to detect attackers. The horizontal port scanning system employs a series of ring buffers, where each ring buffer is associated with a specific port and each cascade of ring buffers is associated with a specific source. As communications requests are received, the destination address is stored in the ring buffer associated with the requested port and a process is run across each ring buffer, such that when a threshold is passed, an alarm is raised.

Abstract: A thermoplastic container or packaging material is given low oxygen permeability by coating with a crosslinked acrylate layer and a layer of oxygen barrier material deposited over the acrylate layer. Another acrylate layer may be deposited over the oxygen barrier. The oxygen barrier is selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide and metal. The acrylate layer may be formed from a photopolymerizable polyfunctional acrylate that is sufficiently low viscosity to be sprayed on the substrate or applied by dipping. Alternatively, the acrylate layer is a polymerization product of an acrylate monomer which is evaporated in a vacuum, condensed on the substrate and polymerized by irradiation by ultraviolet or an electron beam.

Abstract: Sheet materials according to the present invention comprise a sheet material substrate, such as for example a film or paper sheet, with a polymer base coating overlying and adhered to a surface of the sheet material substrate. The base coating comprises a radiation cured crosslinked polymer derived from at least one vapor deposited acrylate prepolymer composition having a molecular weight in the range of from about 150 to 600. A metal layer is deposited on and overlies a surface of the base coating, and a polymer top coating overlies and is adhered to a surface of the metal layer. The top coating comprises a radiation cured crosslinked polymer derived from a vapor deposited acrylate prepolymer composition having a molecular weight in the range of from about 150 to 600 and a ratio of its molecular weight to its number of acrylate groups (MW/Ac) in the range of from about 150 to 600.

Abstract: Sheet materials according to the present invention comprise a sheet material substrate, such as for example a film or paper sheet, with a polymer release coating overlying and adhered to a surface of the sheet material substrate. Single and multilayer release coatings can be formed on the substrate by vapor deposition of silicone acrylates and/or fluorinated acrylates. These coatings can be applied in thickness of 0.05 micron to 1.0 micron to achieve a range of release properties. These coatings can be applied in a very thin single layer on relatively smooth substrates or in a multilayer form on rough substrates such as paper. The new coating process described here has lower process and materials costs, improved adhesion, low slip, and excellent release characteristics.

Abstract: Material for winding high voltage capacitors is prepared by evaporating polyfunctional acrylate monomer having a molecular rate in the range of from 150 to 600 and condensing the acrylate as a monomer film on a dielectric substrate. The acrylate is polymerized by irradiation by ultraviolet or electrons. Sometimes both faces of the dielectric are coated to protect the thermoplastic dielectric from swelling when exposed to dielectric liquid. The metallized layer provides an electrode of the capacitor. A polymerized acrylate layer may be applied over the metal layer. Electrical contact can be made to the metal layer by Schooping even though the metallized layer is covered by a layer of acrylate. Low oxygen permeability polypropylene, polyester or nylon sheet has a layer of crosslinked acrylate and an oxygen barrier layer formed of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide or metal. Adhesion is enhanced by plasma or corona treatment of a surface immediately before deposition.
