Abstract: Embodiments of golf club heads having adjustable weighting systems with a plurality of discrete attachment locations capable of receiving one or more weights are described herein. The golf club heads described herein provide user adjustability of club head center of gravity to adjust ball flight while maintaining a high moment of inertia and low and back center of gravity position.

Abstract: A method of measuring ultraviolet light includes observing an ultraviolet portion of ambient light with an ultraviolet light sensor, measuring an intensity of a visible portion of the ambient light with a visible light sensor, and estimating an intensity of the ultraviolet portion of the ambient light based on the measured intensity of the visible portion of the ambient light if the observed ultraviolet portion of the ambient light exceeds a threshold intensity.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for the synchronization of asynchronous display streams are disclosed. For example, a method is disclosed including receiving a first display data stream, receiving a second display data stream, determining a temporal offset between the first display data stream and the second display data stream, and adjusting at least one blanking interval of the second display data stream to reduce the temporal offset. Other implementations are also disclosed.

Abstract: A new audio playback architecture may be used, which allows the use of much larger buffering than that used by a typical audio subsystem in a computing system to improve power efficiency of the system and at the same time allows to maintain the quality (e.g., fidelity and responsiveness) of the audio playback. The audio controller in the new architecture may be made to report back to the host system a more accurate indication of which audio frame is being set to the audio codec than a currently available audio controller does. Additionally, the controller is capable of re-fetching previously buffered (but not yet transmitted) data. Furthermore, buffers in both the audio controller and the main memory may be dynamically adjusted during playback of audio data and/or for different applications.

Abstract: A process for the recovery of coal particles having a maximum dimension of less than 2 mm from coal tailings including the steps of forming a slurry (101) of tailings having a pulp density of from 10 to 30% by weight; feeding the slurry into a hydrocyclone (103) to produce an underflow second stream which contains the tailing particles over a predetermined size and some of the gangue particles smaller than that size and an overflow stream containing the coal particles smaller than the predetermined size and the balance of the gangue particles, the hydrocyclone (103) being operated such that the underflow stream has a pulp density of from 40% to 60% by weight; adjusting the pulp density of the second stream, if required, to from 20 to 50% by weight; passing the repulped second stream over a rapped or vibrated sieve screen deck (105) having a wedge wire sieve screen with a radius of less than 2 m, an arc angle of from 45.degree. to 60.degree.

Abstract: An hydraulic spiral separator (10), for separating minerals, having at least one substantially helical trough (11) of a cross sectional shape comprising a base portion, an upwardly directed wall portion radially outwardly of the base portion and an upwardly directed lip radially inwardly of the base portion. The characterizing feature is that the wall portion is connected to a plurality of support members (12) positioned radially outwardly of the wall, and the lip is free and unconnected directly to any supporting means, which enables a number of spirals to be stacked coaxially thus saving floor space. Optionally the trough (11) is made of flexible material so that by varying the attachment to the support members (12) the trough may be flexed to change its pitch. Inlet pipes (16), and (18) are fitted as are conventional splitters (19) having moveable vanes (21).

Abstract: A sieve screen deck, the screen of which comprises a plurality of horizontal wedge wires connected to an array of backing bars running longitudinally of the screen parallel to its fall line. The screen is connected to a frame at its two ends, at least one end being connected by resilient means such that the screen may vibrate and flex under the influence of rapping or vibrating means. Side walls are provided along sides of the sieve screen, to prevent material flowing over sides of the screen, are also formed of a resilient material in order that they do not substantially impede the ability of the sieve screen to vibrate and flex under the influence of the rapping or vibrating means.

Abstract: A device for converting a stream of a slurry or liquid flowing down a tube into a flat stream having a uniform flow across its width and, if a slurry, a uniform particle size distribution across that width. The device comprises a vertical tube from which the slurry or liquid may flow onto a horizontal first plate in an even laminar flow and a second plate adapted to receive medium flowing over the edge of the first plate disposed below the first plate and inclined relative thereto. Metering of the amount of medium flowing onto any one increment of the width of the second plate so that it will be substantially equal to the amount of medium flowing down any other increment of equal width is achieved by the use of a first plate having a closely defined peripheral shape or by the use of vertical dividing members spaced around the periphery at uniform angular spacings which direct the medium onto equal width increments of the second plate.

Abstract: String-like agglomerates of chrysotile asbestos fibers are recovered from crude asbestos by first forming a stable gel structure of asbestos and dispersing agent, diluting the gel structure dispersion with water in a first dilution step to form a readily pourable dispersion without dilution of the concentration of dispersing agent to a level insufficient to maintain the asbestos fibrils in a dispersed state, and then, in a second dilution step, rapidly diluting the dispersion with water to reduce the concentration of dispersing agent to a level insufficient to maintain the dispersion, thereby forming agglomerates of the fibrils. Preferably, the dispersion is subjected to an orienting flow during or immediately after the second dilution step to form string-like agglomerates.
