Publication number: 20260027784Abstract: Disclosed herein is a head fixture for adhesively bonding a part of a golf club head to a body of the golf club head. The head fixture includes a bottom portion, including a body retainer, and a top portion, selectively attachable to the bottom portion and including pressure applicators spaced apart about the top portion. Each one of the pressure applicators comprises a ratcheting mechanism and a ribbed shaft engaged with the ratcheting mechanism such that, when the top portion is selectively attached to the bottom portion, the ribbed shaft is movable away from the body retainer into a position, associated with a pressure applied to the part of the golf club head by the ribbed shaft, and the ribbed shaft is non-movably fixable, relative to the body retainer, in the position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2025Publication date: January 29, 2026Inventors: Patrick Chen, Joseph Yu, Bret Wahl

Publication number: 20250382811Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling chlorinators for pools and spas are provided. A controller communicates with a processor positioned within a replaceable cell cartridge of a chlorinator, to allow for remote control and diagnosis of the chlorinator and/or cell cartridge. The cell cartridge stores, in non-volatile memory on board the cartridge, one or more parameters associated with the cartridge. The controller can obtain this information from the processor of the cell cartridge, and can use same to configure operation of the chlorinator. Information relating to remaining cell life can be updated by the controller and stored in the non-volatile memory of the cell cartridge. Electrical and software-based mechanisms are provided for ensuring operation of only compatible cell cartridges with the chlorinator. A system for remotely diagnosing errors associated with the chlorinator is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2025Publication date: December 18, 2025Applicant: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Chen, Douglas Sawyer, JR., Michael Nilsson, Raymond Denkewicz

Patent number: 12440375Abstract: An intraocular drainage device may include a monolithic silicone body having a flap, a rigid bottom plate having a portion configured to contact a corresponding portion of the flap, and a tube having a proximal end disposed between the flap and the rigid bottom plate. The corresponding portion of the flap may be configured to separate from the portion of the rigid bottom plate responsive to a fluid pressure in aqueous humor received from the tube. A plurality of parallel microgrooves may be formed on one or more portions of one or more outer surfaces of the intraocular drainage device.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 14, 2025Assignee: NEW WORLD MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Abdul Mateen Ahmed, Eric Porteous, Suhail Abdullah, Khalid Mansour, Joey Tran, Patrick Chen
