  • Patent number: 10245487
    Abstract: In general, aspects of this invention relate to golf clubs or golf club components incorporating adjustment members that permit ready adjustability of golf club parameters and/or interchangeability of golf club components to change a golf club configuration, and methods for providing golf clubs. According to aspects of this invention, an adjustment member may be utilized to allow the adjustability of a golf club parameter to change a golf club configuration, while ensuring there is substantially no change to other club or club head variables, parameters or characteristics. According to another aspect of this invention, an adjustment member may be utilized to allow the adjustability of two golf club parameters independently to change a golf club configuration, while ensuring there is substantially no change to other club or club head variables, parameters or characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20190060720
    Abstract: A golf club includes a shaft and a club head for a metal wood type club head. The club head includes a ball striking face, a heel, a toe, a rear, a crown, and a sole. The sole includes a forward sole surface and a rearward sole surface. The substantially horizontally-oriented forward sole surface extends rearwardly from the ball striking face to a rearward edge. The substantially horizontally-oriented rearward sole surface extends forwardly from the rear of the club head. The rearward sole surface extends over and is offset in a height direction from the rearward edge. A cavity may be located above the forward sole surface, the cavity having a rearward facing opening located below the rearward sole surface. A projection may extend rearwardly from the rearward edge beneath the rearward sole surface, the projection having sides that extend in a generally breadthwise direction.

  • Publication number: 20190041814
    Abstract: A fan characterization and control system includes a chassis housing a plurality of components and a fan system. A controller system is coupled to the components and the fan system and configured to detect fan devices in the fan system that are connected to the controller system via respective fan connectors. The controller system determines fan performance categories of each of the fan devices based on signals communicated by each of the fan devices through at least one pin on the respective fan connectors. The controller system accesses a fan performance database that stores different fan performance categories and respective fan performance characteristics for each of the different fan performance categories. The controller system uses fan performance information that is associated in the fan performance database with each of the fan performance categories determined for the fan devices to configure the components and the fan system for operation.

  • Patent number: 10201115
    Abstract: A chassis includes a compute device and a liquid cooling enablement module. The compute device includes a processor, a cold plate, and first cold and hot liquid lines. The first cold liquid line directs cool liquid from a first cold liquid interconnect of the compute device to the cold plate. The first hot liquid line directs heated liquid from the cold plate to a first hot liquid interconnect of the compute device. The liquid cooling enablement module is a modular self-contained component, and includes a second cold liquid interconnect, and a second hot liquid interconnect. The second cold liquid interconnect directs the liquid from the liquid cooling enablement module to the first cold liquid line via the first cold liquid interconnect. The second hot liquid interconnect directs the liquid from the first hot liquid line to the liquid cooling enablement module via the first hot liquid interconnect.

  • Patent number: 10199784
    Abstract: A unidirectional cable connector that can be operatively connected between a host device and accessory device in the ecosystem of products. The cable includes first and second plug connectors at opposite ends of a wire where the two plug connectors share a common pinout but the insertion plug of the second connector is shortened in length as compared to the insertion plug of the first connector. The shortened plug prevents the second connector from being fully inserted into the host device that includes a standard depth receptacle connector, and thus prevents the second connector from being operatively coupled to the host device. The shortened plug can, however, be operatively connected with an electronic device having a shortened receptacle connector according to embodiments of the disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20190001199
    Abstract: A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, includes a face having a ball striking surface, an inner surface opposite the ball striking surface, and a thickness defined between the ball striking surface and the inner surface, and a body connected to the face and extending rearward from the face. The face has a modulus gradient across the thickness of the face, such that the modulus of the face varies at different distances from the ball striking surface. The face may also include at least one of an insert, a composite material, a multi-layered structure, and/or a portion treated by a surface treatment to contribute to the modulus gradient.

  • Patent number: 10109046
    Abstract: Systems for and methods of detecting faults in semiconductor wafers are provided. One method includes, for instance: monitoring, with at least one sensor, a recipe for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer; tracking, with a fault detection system, a set of steps for the recipe; determining a start of a step; sensing a set of data related to at least one parameter of the step; generating, by an imaging system, an image of the set of data; displaying, on a display, the image of the set of data; calculating, by the fault detection system, a pixel area ratio from the image of the set of data; determining if a fault exists in the wafer based upon the pixel area ratio; and displaying, on the display, an indication of the fault during real-time and at an end of the step.
