  • Publication number: 20240113974
    Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

  • Patent number: 7803066
    Abstract: A golf club head has a front wall member and a rear wall member joined by a pair of arms that extend rearward from the from the heel and toe ends of the front wall member. An arcuate wall formed in the rear wall member provides an alignment aid. The club may have a protrusion extending above the top rail. The protrusion may have an arcuate surface that corresponds to the arcuate wall formed in the rear member to enhance alignment of the golf club head. The club head may include a transverse alignment aid to assist the user with proper eye position and lie of the club head when addressing the golf ball.

  • Patent number: 7513060
    Abstract: A measurement tool for determining at least one of the loft angle or the lie angle of a golf club. The measurement tool includes a golf club head support structure having a mating surface and at least one beveled support element. The gauge also has a clamping tool capable securing the golf club head to the golf club head support structure. The clamping tool may include a pushing element and a mating element. The mating element has a jaw for applying a lateral force to the golf club head to secure it to the golf club support structure and a fastening plate for applying a vertical force to the golf club head to secure it to the golf club support structure. A gauge capable of indicating at least one of the loft angle or the lie angle of the golf club is positioned adjacent to the golf club head support structure.

  • Patent number: 7309296
    Abstract: A golf club head has a face insert that is supported from beneath by a substrate composed of a plurality of elongate rod elements arranged in a parallel closely packed array. Because the face insert is made of a single material, the resiliency of the face insert itself does not vary across the front surface of the face insert; however, the effective resiliency of the face insert may be varied by varying the resiliency of the substrate. This is accomplished by selecting different materials and/or different overall lengths for the rod elements that comprise the substrate. Use of a substrate comprising a plurality of rod elements permits the effective resiliency of the face insert to be varied without varying the face material.

  • Patent number: 7278539
    Abstract: A portable enclosure for storing and carrying baseball and other athletic equipment consists of six fabric-covered rigid panels which can be closed by means of a single continuous zipper to form a rigid rectangular parallelepiped that can be carted easily by means of wheels located at a lower edge. When the portable enclosure is unzipped into the open position, the back wall and side walls open up flat so that the pockets, shelves and pouches located on the interior surfaces thereof are accessible. Yet, since the portable enclosure is now flat, it can be located out of the way, secured against the back of the dugout where it will not create a trip hazard for the players.

  • Patent number: 6926615
    Abstract: A golf putter head with a heel end and a toe end includes a face member arranged for impacting a golf ball. A rear member extends in an arcuate path from one end of the face member to the other end of the face member. The face member and the rear member are made of a low density material such as carbon fiber. A first plurality of three weight members is disposed in the rear member, and each of these three weight members is each made of high density material, such as tungsten. A second plurality of two weight members is disposed in the face member, and each of these weight members is also made of high density material.

  • Patent number: 6893355
    Abstract: A golf putter includes a putter head having a face member, a heel end, a toe end and a rear member extending in an arcuate path from one end of the face member to the other end of the face member. First and second struts extend and are connected to the rear member and the face member while converging toward each other as they approach the face member. A third strut extends between and is connected to the rear member and the face member and lies between the first and second struts. The putter head has a width W of at least 15 centimeters and a depth D that is at least equal to ½ width W. In its preferred embodiment, the putter head has a width W of approximately 17 centimeters and a depth D of approximately 10 centimeters.

  • Patent number: 6837801
    Abstract: A golf putter head includes a face member with a front surface arranged for impacting a golf ball. A rear member extends in an arcuate path of substantially 180 degrees from a heel end of the face member to a toe end of the face member. First and second struts extend from the rear member to the face member and converge toward each other as they approach the face member. A third strut extends from the rear member to the face member and lies between the first and second struts. A V-shaped marking is provided on an upper surface of the face member between the heel and toe ends thereof. One leg of the V-shaped marking is aligned with the first strut and the other leg of the V-shaped marking is aligned with the second strut.
