  • Publication number: 20130005501
    Abstract: A golf club with a new innovative construction to attach a high density weight to an external surface of the sole of a golf club head is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention relates to utilizing a thickened sole portion having a specific surface area to thickness ratio to provide adequate support for a high density weight having a significant amount of mass. The new innovative method of attachment also incorporates a unique mechanical lock to properly secure the high density weight to the club head, as materials used for high density weighting may not be easily weldable to the titanium material currently used for metalwood type golf club head.

  • Publication number: 20120231897
    Abstract: A golf club that utilizes multiple materials to achieve improved performance is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf club that utilizes different materials to construct different portions of the iron type golf club head allowing weight to be removed from portions of the golf club head that doesn't require such weighting. The current invention utilizes a lightweight material to form a blade portion of the golf club head while utilizing a standard steel material to form the hosel portion of the golf club head to allow the malleability characteristics of a golf club head to be maintained. The weight saved from the lightweight material used to create the blade portion can then be used to create a sole insert that is made out of a dense and heavy material to improve the CG and MOI characteristics of the golf club head to dramatically improve the performance of the golf club head.

  • Patent number: 5781199
    Abstract: A parallel processing method for use with a graphics processor wherein graphics processing is performed by each of configured command processors efficiently in a distributed manner, with a host CPU remaining unaware of the number of command processors. Each command group of a variable length from a host CPU is distributed from an FIFO queue to a plurality of parallelly arranged command processors for parallel processing through any free one of input FIFO queues corresponding to the command processors. Upon command group distribution, an identical serial number is added as a command group serial number to the commands constituting the same command group. The results of processing of individual graphics commands by the command processors are collected via output FIFO queues, which also correspond to the processors, in the order of the command group serial numbers added to the commands before the processed results are graphically drawn.

  • Patent number: 5530316
    Abstract: Provided is a color cathode-ray tube with a magnetic shield member which is capable of efficiently reducing only the amount of mislanding caused by the external magnetic field applied in one direction by effectively utilizing the shape effect of a magnetic substance and which can be readily designed. A U-shaped magnetic substance is formed by curving an elongated magnetic substance into a U-like shape. One end of the U-shaped magnetic substance is fixed to a long side wall side of a frame, while the other end thereof extends toward an electron gun. The U-shaped magnetic substance is magnetized therealong due to the shape effect thereof, concentrating an induction field on the area surrounded by the U-shaped magnetic substance. Thus, a great shield effect can be obtained. Further, the U-shaped magnetic substance is readily magnetized in a special direction due to its shape anisotropy.
