Patent number: 11951365Abstract: A shim or badge is affixed to a golf club body to produce a cap-back iron, giving the appearance of a hollow-body iron. In this way, the golf club can be manufactured with the performance benefits of a game improvement iron, while providing the appearance of a blade, player's iron, and/or a hollow-body iron. For example, by using a lightweight and rigid shim or badge to close a cavity opening and extend into the toe portion in the golf club body, the golf club head can provide increased stiffness in the topline, while lowering CG. Various shim or badge arrangements and materials can be used, and a filler material and/or damper can be included within the cavity to improve sound and feel, while minimizing loss in COR.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Connor Mark Halberg, Adam Robert Warren, John Bernard Krzywiec, Scott Taylor, Bret H. Wahl, Mattieu Bovee

Patent number: 11918874Abstract: A damper is provided within the cavity of a golf club head and spans substantially the full length of the striking face from heel-to-toe of the golf club head. One or more cutouts and/or other relief is provided in the damper to reduce the surface area of the damper that contacts the rear surface of the striking face. By reducing the surface area that the damper contacts the rear surface of the striking face, the full length damper improves the sound and feel of the golf club head at impact and only minimally reduces performance of the golf club head. For example, the one or more cutouts and/or other relief maintains face flexibility, characteristic time (CT) and coefficient of restitution (COR) of the striking face.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Connor Mark Halberg, Adam Robert Warren, John Bernard Krzywiec, Scott Taylor, Bret H.

Patent number: 10764299Abstract: An access configuration for an access control manager is generated. Access data including users, resources, and actions the users performed on the resources is received into a matrix. Clusters of the matrix are formed to produce ranges of the users and ranges of the resources having selected permission levels based on the actions. Administrator-modifiable security groups are created based on the ranges of users and administrator-modifiable resources groups based on the ranges of resources.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ben Kliger, Efim Hudis, Moshe Israel, Steven J. Lieberman, Mark Wahl

Patent number: 9779257Abstract: An orchestrated access system is described herein that provides an access control decision function that is augmented by interfacing with a real-time collaborative communication system that maintains a state of various users' availability to communicate. The orchestrated access system provides real-time approvals for access control scenarios where the policy would not otherwise grant access. The system provides an experience for the requesting user to select an appropriate approver among multiple potential approvers based on the relationship of the potential approver to the requesting user, the relationship of the potential approver to the resource, and the availability of the potential approver for real-time communication. The system can provide a record of approver and request parameters in a database to optimize further interactions. Thus, the orchestrated access system provides an improved experience for granting access to resources within an organization for both the requesting user and the approver(s).Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventor: Mark Wahl

Patent number: 9582673Abstract: A data model in which a set provides an abstraction that isolates the computation of membership from the details of how an enforcement point determines access (e.g., based on claims, based on security group membership etc). Set operations (e.g., intersection, union, inverse) can then be used across the sets. The architecture utilizes workflow on set transitions such that when an object such as a user enters the scope of one of these sets, notification can occur, such that inadvertent changes which lead to separation-of-duties violations can be detected quickly. The sets can also be used to define entitlements for enforcement of claims-based access control in a cross-organization deployment (e.g., to a cloud-hosted application).Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2010Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Mark Wahl

Patent number: 8713688Abstract: A secure collaboration mechanism between two organizations may be created based on a set of security system definitions provided by a receiving organization to a providing organization. The providing organization may create a shared portal that has a federated access between both organizations and has access and other security functions. The data collection process may be automated using digitally signed forms or other documents to analyze the security practices of the receiving organization and create a shared portal that has increased or decreased security provisions compared to the providing organization's standard procedures. The collaboration mechanism may be implemented in a bilateral arrangement, a hub and spoke arrangement, and a multilateral arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mark Wahl, Alex Weinert, Phil Stradling, Matthew Penarczyk, Craig Wittenberg, Dave Shute

Patent number: 8490152Abstract: An entitlement management system is described herein that models each entitlement as a resource within a resource management system. In a resource management system that applies policy to all requests to create, update, and delete a resource, this approach allows rich application of policy to the creation, delegation, renewal, expiration, and deletion of entitlements. A resource management system that can synchronize data to connected systems can thereby grant or revoke these permissions in those systems. This approach also facilitates role mining, attestation, and compliance reporting. Entitlements stored as resources may also include properties, such as workflows and policies related to the entitlements. Thus, the entitlement management system provides a more formal and automated facility for managing entitlements in organizations.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2010Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeffrey A. Staiman, Mark Wahl
