  • Publication number: 20110104648
    Abstract: The invention relates to simple yet effective methods, referred to herein as Dynamic Intermittent Reward (DIR), and systems, to increase the frequency of desired behavior(s) in a user, decrease the frequency of an undesired behavior(s), and optimize cost-effectiveness of a reward system. A principal benefit of the new methods is the ability to provide tailored intermittent rewards for one or more users over time for both desired and undesired behaviors.

  • Patent number: 5651409
    Abstract: Tooling for injection molding a wax pattern in connection with investment casting of a metal wood golf club head, in which the golf club head is a positive duplicate of the wax pattern and has a body having an exterior, a hollow interior accessible through an orifice, a weld rim surrounding the orifice, and at least one gate disposed on the weld rim. The tooling includes collapsible core means having a shape complementary to the interior of the golf club head and the wax pattern. The collapsible core means may be disassembled and removed from a wax pattern formed around the core means. The tooling also includes a tooling body that defines a sealable wax pattern cavity that is complementary to the exterior of the golf club head and includes passage means to allow injection of molten wax into the cavity.

  • Patent number: 5180166
    Abstract: A metal wood golf club head has an elongated, forwardly facing front wall to strike a golf ball, and a hollow body rearwardly of the face plate, the front wall elongated in a first transverse direction toward a zone of connection to a club shaft, the body having a thin, metallic top wall merging with upper transverse extent of the front wall. The head also includes a first group of narrow, metallic, shock wave distributing dendrites extending from the front wall generally rearwardly adjacent the underside of the top wall and integral therewith; the dendrites spaced apart in a transverse direction, the maximum height dimensions of the dendrites below the underside of the top wall being between 0.050 and 0.100 inches and the dendrites being downwardly convex in cross-section. A second group of such shock wave distributing dendrites is also typically provided rearwardly of the first dendrite group, and which extend rearwardly to merge with the head rear wall.
