  • Publication number: 20200238150
    Abstract: A golf training device that is affixed to to the arm and hand of the golfer-in-training in order to control the range of hand movement during the downswing of a golf swing. The device having multiple embodiments that cooperatively controls hand to wrist angles in order to keep the hands in the proper position throughout the swing. More descriptively, the device allows complete range of motion of the hands except in the extended or downward direction ‘after’ initiation of the swing. In a golf swing it is important to disallow movement in the downward direction once the golf swing has been initiated, but it is also important to allow full and natural freedom of movement every other direction so a golfer-in-training does not feel uncomfortable or restriction while practicing. The present invention as constructed also allows the device to return to the natural address position upon completion of the swing.

  • Patent number: 7625471
    Abstract: A sputtering cathode assembly attachable to a cathode mounting plate for a thin-film vapor deposition chamber. The cathode assembly includes a magnet module and a cathode body generally coextensive with and sealingly housing the magnet module and defining a water channel between a top plate of the cathode body and a cooling channel plate of the magnet module. An elongated target is releasably connected atop and coextensive with the top plate and secured in place by a unique threaded fastener engagement between a target clamp and an edge portion of the cathode body whereby the target is replaceable without disassembly of the cathode body. Unique replaceable elongated fastener receiving inserts releasably secure said target against the target plate to effect target replacement without disassembly of the cathode body.
