  • Publication number: 20250037755
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses related to using non-zero selection circuitry. For example, the non-zero selection circuitry can determine whether a first word received from a first group of sense amplifiers has at least one bit having a first binary value, such as a logical “1”. In response to the first word being determined to have at least one bit having the first binary value, the first word can be outputted from the non-zero selection circuitry and a second word can be prevented from being outputted (even if the second word is determined to have at least one bit having the first binary value) at least while the first word is being outputted.

  • Patent number: 12208318
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments of a golf club head having improved mass distribution characteristics. The golf club head includes a body and a face positioned at a forward portion of the body. The golf club head also includes one or more mass elements positioned at predetermined locations about the head. The mass elements assist in achieving a desired relationship between the moment of inertia about a center of gravity x-axis and the moment of inertia about a center of gravity z-axis.

  • Publication number: 20250029651
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices related to performing logical operations using multiple digit lines. At least two digit lines coupled to the same sense amplifier can be used for the logical operations. For example, two word lines on one digit line and one word line on another digit line can be substantially concurrently activated to perform a particular logical operation. These three word lines are respectively coupled to memory cells configured to store either operands of operation or a reference data value for the particular logical.

  • Publication number: 20240350872
    Abstract: A high forgiveness wood-type golf club head comprises a body and a face. The body comprises a sole that forms a bottom portion of the golf club head, a crown that forms a top portion of the golf club head and a skirt that forms a periphery of the golf club head between the sole and the crown. The face place is positioned at a front portion of the golf club head opposite a rear portion of the golf club head. The body defines an outer periphery having a generally triangular shape in plan.

  • Patent number: 12090373
    Abstract: An iron-type golf club has a body that defines a rear void. The face portion includes an ideal striking location that defines the origin of a coordinate system. The body includes a central region in which ?25 mm<x<25 mm. The sole portion that is contained within the central region includes a forward sole region located adjacent to the face portion and a sole bar located rearward of the forward sole region, with the forward sole region defining a wall having a minimum forward sole thickness TFS and the sole bar defining a body having a maximum sole bar thickness TSB, such that 0.05<TFS/TSB<0.4. The sole portion includes a slot extending in a substantially heel-to-toe direction of the sole portion, the slot defining a portion of a path that extends through the sole portion and into the rear void. The slot is at least partially filled with a filler material.

  • Publication number: 20240108951
    Abstract: An iron-type golf club head is provided with a body having a volume less than 120 cc. The body can include a sole portion with two or more slots extending upwardly into the body through the sole portion into a cavity behind a face portion. A damper can be included in the cavity and in contact with a rear surface of the face portion. The club head can have a maximum CT proximate to the ideal striking location and a CT dropoff of no more than 110 ?s at a point located between a first and second scoreline proximate to the sole portion. The club head can also have a CG along the y-axis (CG-y) between 0.25 mm and 20 mm and a CG along a positive z-up axis (CG-z) between 12 mm and 25 mm.
