  • Publication number: 20230107143
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for event-based user matching. The apparatus includes a memory storing instructions a processor coupled with the memory. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to identify a set of events for a user, determine a list of prospective matches for the user attending one or more of the set of events for the user, and transmit the list of prospective matches for the user.

  • Publication number: 20060199664
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a golf club head with an insert having a face plate is disclosed herein. The insert is disposed in a recess of the club head in which the recess has a depth that is greater than the thickness of the insert. The insert preferably has a plurality of tabs on its perimeter to engage the recess walls to allow the insert to essentially float within the recess. An adhesive is preferably disposed between the rear wall of the recess and an interior surface of the insert. Further, an adhesive is applied between the plurality of tabs, and preferably over the exterior surface of each of the plurality of tabs.

  • Publication number: 20060106158
    Abstract: A cross-linked thermoplastic polyurea is formed by heating a mixture containing a thermoplastic urethane base material, a monomeric and/or polymeric di-isocyanate comprising between 1 to 10% of the total weight of the mixture, and a diamine comprising between 1 to 10% of the total weight of the mixture. A thermoplastic polyurethane may be formed by substituting hydroquinone for the diamine. The mixture is heated to a temperature within the range of 250° F. to 550° F. The heated mixture, which is flowable, is then injected into at least one injection molding device. The mixture is then cured at a temperature between 150° F. to 250° F. for a period of time between 2 and 36 hours. The cross-linked thermoplastic polyurethane/polyurea retains the excellent flowability characteristics of a thermoplastic urethane while the same time exhibits good abrasion, tensile strength, rebound, and compression set characteristics which are similar to those found in thermoset urethanes.

  • Publication number: 20050119069
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a golf club head with an insert having a face plate is disclosed herein. The insert is disposed in a recess of the club head in which the recess has a depth that is greater than the thickness of the insert. The insert is preferably composed of a thermoplastic polyurethane material formed from a polytetramethylene ether glycol terminated hexamethylene diisocyanate prepolymer having a NCO group content of 8.0% to 12.0%, and a 1,4 butane diol. An adhesive is preferably disposed between the rear wall of the recess and an interior surface of the insert. Further, an adhesive is applied between the plurality of tabs, and preferably over the exterior surface of each of the plurality of tabs.

  • Patent number: 5788408
    Abstract: A vibratory pneumatic tire roller of the present invention comprises a frame, tire attaching means supported on each side by said frame with vibration proof members and bearings, a tire attached to said tire attaching means, and a vibration generating device having a vibration generating shaft provided within the outer diameter of said tire between said bearings placed at the ends of said tire attaching means, said vibration generating device transmitting vibration to said tire by rotating said vibration generating shaft with a drive source for generating vibration. Accordingly, the vibration generated by the vibration generating device is transmitted to the tire efficiently. The present invention achieves a self-propelled ride-on type vibratory pneumatic tire roller which is suitable for the road compaction.
