Abstract: A tray for holding golf balls is provided. The tray preferably contains three compartments, and each compartment is sized to hold a single golf ball. The balls are snap-fitted into the compartments and secured in place. The tray containing the balls can be inserted into a small box (sleeve) which then can be loaded into a larger packaging box. The sleeve and window preferably contain transparent windows that are aligned with each other. The outer surface of the balls can be printed with a logo, brand, or other marking that can be seen through transparent windows in the sleeve and packaging box. The packaging system protects the golf balls during shipment as well as providing a creative and attractive way for displaying the golf balls for sale at on-course and off-course facilities.

Abstract: A golf ball is disclosed herein that includes at least one radar detectable mark such that a projected pattern is formed when the at least one radar detectable mark is radially projected onto an outer surface of the golf ball. The projected pattern can have a first wave profile mapped along a path defined by a first spherical arc on the outer surface of the golf ball. The projected pattern can comprise at least one first crest and at least one first trough. The projected pattern can have a periodic function selected from: a sine wave, a sawtooth wave, a triangle wave, or a square wave.

Abstract: Oil lubrication systems for use on gas turbine engines are described. The systems include a conduit and an air/oil separator connected to and arranged along the conduit. The air/oil separator comprises includes a housing and a semi-permeable divider within the housing, the semi-permeable divider being permeable to air but not oil. The semi-permeable divider separates a first flow path of an air/oil mixture and a second flow path of low pressure such that air from the air/oil mixture passes through the semi-permeable divider and is removed from the air/oil mixture, and wherein an air-to-oil ratio is less at the second end of the first flow path as compared to the air-to-oil ratio at the first end of the first flow path.

Abstract: An antimicrobial composition is disclosed. The composition delivers several orders of magnitude improvement in the reduction of infectious materials (i.e., microbial substances, including bacteria, fungus, germs, and other pathogens). An organosilyl quaternary ammonium ion or salt is paired with a corresponding quaternary ammonium ion or salt at specific but extraordinarily low concentrations, so as to minimize any perceived harmful effects of these active ingredients while simultaneously delivering synergistic improvements to the efficacy of those active.

Abstract: A fusion powder coating useful in forming a coating by fusion of the powder comprising a solar active or a photovoltaic pigment in combination with a resin including a conductive resin and a device for generating electric energy from solar or photo illumination comprising an electrode, a first powder coated layer of an absorptive pigment and a resin, a second powder coated layer of the aforementioned solar active powder, and a protective layer.

Abstract: A free-flowing dry mix of various chemical components can be applied in its dried form, as is contemplated by typical powder coating operations, as well as dispersed within a liquid carrier and applied in liquid form. When liquefied, this bifunctional composition retains similar viscosity to liquid coatings, while simultaneously avoiding any reaction with or degradation by the liquid carrier. The liquefied powder is preferable to existing liquid coatings because it avoids the use of any volatile organic compounds or other solvents, whereas the final, cured coating produced by these bifunctional compositions are indistinguishable regardless of whether they are applied in dry or liquefied form.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a turbine and a compressor in rotational communication with the turbine via a shaft. The shaft is rotatable about a longitudinal centerline and includes a first axial end and a second axial end opposite the first axial end. The gas turbine engine further includes a first bearing compartment including a first compartment casing detachably mounted axially outside the compressor and the turbine. The first bearing compartment is in contact with the first axial end of the shaft and includes a first bearing which rotatably supports the shaft. The first bearing compartment is self-contained such that an internal lubrication system of the first bearing compartment is fluidally isolated from a remainder of the gas turbine engine outside the first bearing compartment.

Abstract: An assembly is provided that includes a shaft, a bearing, a stator seal element, a rotor seal element and a shield. The shaft extends along an axis. The bearing supports the shaft and receives lubrication fluid. The stator seal element circumscribes the shaft. The rotor seal element is mounted on the shaft axially between the bearing and the stator seal element. The rotor seal element forms a seal with the stator seal element. The shield substantially prevents the lubrication fluid from traveling axially away from the bearing onto the rotor seal element.

The method calls for the multi-functional additive to be provided to fusion powder coating compositions by way of a carrier system selected from (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (TMS), silicon dioxide (at 45 to 55% active levels), and a flow aid comprising a polyethylene resin, a polyester hydroxyl resin, a polymeric curative, degassing agent, ricinoleic acid, and glass flake.

Abstract: A lubrication system is disclosed. The lubrication system may be used in conjunction with a gas turbine engine for generating power or lift. The lubrication system utilized a flow scheduling valve which reduces lubricant flow to at least one component based on an engine load. The lubrication system may further include a main pump which may be regulated by an engine speed. Thus, a lubrication system which provides a lubricant to engine components based on the load and speed of the engine is possible. The system may improve efficiency of the engine by reducing the power previously spent in churning excess lubricant by at least one engine component as well as reducing the energy used by a lubricant cooler in cooling the excess lubricant. The lubricant cooler size may also be minimized to reduce weight and air drag due to the reduced lubricant flow.
