  • Patent number: 6572489
    Abstract: A golf club head is disclosed, which is capable of setting a head center of gravity projected on a face surface in the vicinity of a face center even when a head thickness excluding a face portion is made uniform or a head volume is increased to a maximum. In this golf club head, in a three-dimensional coordinate axis with a face center set as an origin, a coordinate value of each most bulged position in a head body is specified, and a shape of the head body is brought close to that of symmetry in an upper-lower direction and, more preferably, to that of symmetry in upper-lower and right-left directions.

  • Publication number: 20030026893
    Abstract: A novel process for producing an electron source substrate is disclosed for formation of electron-emitting element at high efficiency with less shape irregularity. In the process, the region for electroconductive film formation is divided into plural subregions on which an electroconductive film is formed respectively. In forming the electroconductive film by application of plural liquids, the time interval between the application of the two drops is controlled to be larger than the time length necessary for suppressing the spreading of the succeedingly applied liquid within an allowable limit.
