Patent number: 8002645Abstract: Golf ball locators and components of such locators and methods of operating such locators and processing signals within such locators. In one aspect of the inventions described herein, an exemplary method of initializing a golf ball locator includes receiving received RF signals while also transmitting signals used to locate balls and determining a parameter representative of received signal strength of the received RF signals and setting a threshold to determine when subsequent received signals are to cause an indication of golf ball detection. In another aspect of this disclosure, the golf ball locator is a handheld unit having a volume of less than about 150 inches cubed and includes a transmitter, a transmit antenna, a receiver, a receive antenna and a processor coupled to the transmitter and to the receiver, and the handheld unit achieves a signal isolation, between a second harmonic of a transmitted signal from the transmitter and the receiver's received signal, of greater than about 130 to 160 dB.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Radar CorporationInventors: Chris Savarese, Lauro C.

Patent number: 6884181Abstract: A golf ball construction (2) is provided having a solid core composition of a rubber having between 3 to 25 percent by weight of an additive selected from the group of boron carbide, silicon carbide, and/or other advanced ceramic materials, the additives providing an improved core composition. The golf ball (2) further has an improved dimple arrangement in which each dimple (20) defines a dimple edge (24) adjacent a land area (22) of the golf ball, the dimple edge having a radius between 0.050 inches to 0.250 inches. The cover (6) of the ball additionally provides a surface marking opposite a balance point of the golf ball. The balance point of the golf ball being determined by floating the golf ball and allowing the ball to assume a resting configuration within the floating solution.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2000Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Talon SportsInventors: Lauro C.
