Abstract: A delivery system for forming a stent in-situ may comprise an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end and a lumen extending from the proximal end towards the distal end of the elongate shaft. A plurality of apertures may be positioned adjacent to a distal end region of the elongate shaft. The plurality of apertures may extend from an outer surface to an inner surface of the elongate shaft and be in fluid communication with the lumen. A port may be affixed to the proximal end of the elongate shaft and in fluid communication with the lumen.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an iron-type golf club head formed from multiple materials that increase torsional stiffness of the club and aid in sound performance. In particular, the iron-type golf club head includes a rear flange and a composite component bonded to an external surface of the rear flange. The composite component may cover an entire surface of the rear flange, and may also extend upwards to make contact with a top portion of the club head and thus close off a rear cavity of the club head. The iron-type golf club head may further comprise a face support structure extending from the rear flange, to which the face plate may be affixed via welding or brazing.

Abstract: An iron-type golf club head comprising a high strength face plate with a face support is disclosed herein. In particular, the face plate is affixed to a perimeter region and to a face support that extends upwards from the sole proximate a front opening. The face plate preferably is welded to the perimeter region and brazed to the face support to optimize the sound and feel of the golf club head while preserving the strength of the face.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an iron-type golf club head formed from multiple materials that increase torsional stiffness of the club and aid in sound performance. In particular, the iron-type golf club head includes a body having top, sole, heel, toe, and face portions, a rear cavity, and a rear flange extending upwards from the sole portion, and a composite cap comprising a plurality of ribs covering the rear cavity and forming an internal cavity. The ribs can extend from an interior surface to an exterior surface of the composite cap, and in one embodiment, at least one of the ribs extends along an interior surface of the composite cap and hooks over the rear flange.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a forged iron-type golf club head having a cavity, tungsten weighting, and a back cap configured to simulate an undercut, conceal the weighting, and adjust the golf club head's overall weight and center of gravity location without interfering with or affecting the sole configuration. The golf club head of the present invention also includes a J-shaped face thickness pattern to further improve performance.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an iron-type golf club head having features that permit adjustment to the principal moment of inertia angle, the center of gravity location, and overall club forgiveness. In particular, the golf club head includes a rear cavity sized to receive a weight cartridge composed of one or more materials, the adjustment of which changes one or more of the mass properties of the golf club head and may change the interaction of the golf club head with turf during play, and a composite face plate. The weight cartridge may comprise one or more high density materials, and may be located in or proximate the sole.

Abstract: A golf club head (20) having optimized ball speed robustness is disclosed. The golf club head (20) preferably has one or more channels (100, 110, 120) disposed proximate to a striking face (40), and in some embodiments the one or more channels (100, 110, 120) substantially encircle the striking face (40).

Abstract: A method for producing baby leaf lettuce is disclosed. The invention relates to using dwarf lettuce plants for baby leaf lettuce production in the field and in the greenhouse instead of non-dwarf conventional lettuce. The invention further relates to planting dwarf lettuce seed at a high density in the field and harvesting dwarf baby leaf lettuce leaves over a longer period of time than that for non-dwarf conventional lettuce.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods for dynamically rendering reports in a healthcare environment are provided. In accordance with one method of the invention, two XML files are provided. The first XML file contains data representing information to be presented in the report. The second XML file contains data representing a format for the report. The second XML file is converted to an XSL stylesheet and applied to the data contained in the first XML file to create a third XML file. The third XML file contains the data representing the information to be presented in the report and the data representing the format for the report. The report is rendered using the third XML file.

Abstract: The wireless shipboard data coupler allows transmission of data through steel ship bulkheads and submarine pressure hulls without the need for special wiring penetrations. Shipboard sensing data with a 1.0 MHz current is injected into the steel plating adjacent to a ships bulkhead, or onto the pressure hull at any penetration providing an electrical path or discontinuity to the opposing side of the bulkhead or pressure hull through the use of copper-plated, threaded electrodes. The injected current flows as a surface, or "skin effect" current between the electrodes and in an indirect, spread, pattern wrapping around the edge of the penetration. This produces a pattern of surface currents on the opposite side of the ships bulkhead or submarine pressure hull. As the injected current is modulated, the data is received on the other side of the bulkhead or pressure hull using coupling loops to sensing the electrical field generated by the surface currents.
