  • Publication number: 20250083006
    Abstract: A golf club comprises a shaft, a club head, and a connection assembly that allows the shaft to be easily disconnected from the club head. In particular embodiments, the connection assembly includes a removable hosel sleeve that allows a shaft to be supported a desired predetermined orientation relative to the club head. In this manner, the shaft loft and/or lie angle of the club can be adjusted without resorting to traditional bending of the shaft. In another embodiment, the club head has an adjustable sole that can be adjusted upwardly and downwardly relative to the strike face of the club head, which is effective to adjust the face angle of the club head.

  • Publication number: 20250076874
    Abstract: A system may receive a video stream from a camera of a vehicle in a transportation network. The system may also receive an input indicating an acceleration and a steering angle of a simulated lead vehicle. The system may determine a pose of the simulated vehicle relative to a home pose based on the acceleration input and the steering input, and display an overlay of a representation of the simulated vehicle in the video stream at pixel coordinates based on the pose. The system may determine, from the pixel coordinates, spatial coordinates of the simulated vehicle in the transportation network, wherein the spatial coordinates are relative to at least one of the transportation network or the camera. The system may transmit the spatial coordinates to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to follow a path based on the spatial coordinates.

  • Publication number: 20110202733
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and/or method for reducing disk space usage and/or improving I/O performance of a computer system through the use of data compression and mapping of data page blocks to reduced size data file blocks. The system and/or method can be used to intercept activity at an interface of a computer system I/O subsystem and then map logical data page blocks to reduced sized physical file data blocks on a one-to-one basis, utilizing a suitable data compression algorithm. The system and/or method also allows data compression to be reversed when reading data from a physical disk storage medium associated with that computer system. The system may be implemented as either a device driver or a module linked to an I/O module of a computer system.
