  • Patent number: 9550580
    Abstract: This description relates to a strapped windshield assembly for a rotorcraft. In some implementations, the rotorcraft includes an airframe, a windshield, and a plurality of independent straps connected to the airframe and the windshield, the straps operative to move independently with respect to one another. The independent movement of the straps allow relative movement of portions of the windshield in response to a strike. In some implementations, the straps are spaced every 4-6 inches along an edge of the windshield. In some implementations, the straps are over an edge of the windshield. The straps can have a modulus of elasticity of 8-12 millions of pounds per square inch (MSI). The windshield can include polycarbonate material.

  • Publication number: 20140213390
    Abstract: The present invention is a unique advanced hybrid iron type golf club. The club is characterized by a long heel blade length section, while having a small club moment arm, Zcg, and volume. The golf club incorporates the discovery of unique relationships among key club head engineering variables.

  • Patent number: 8727909
    Abstract: The present invention is a unique advanced hybrid iron type golf club. The club is characterized by a long blade length with a long heel blade length section, while having a small club moment arm, Zcg, and volume, and producing a high moment of inertia. The golf club incorporates the discovery of unique relationships among key club head engineering variables that are inconsistent with merely striving to obtain a high moment of inertia using conventional golf club head design wisdom.

  • Patent number: 8206244
    Abstract: The present invention is a unique fairway wood type golf club. The club is a fairway wood type golf club characterized by a long blade length with a long heel blade length section, while having a small club moment arm and a low center of gravity relative to a face height of the club, and all the benefits afforded therefrom. The fairway wood incorporates the discovery of unique relationships among key club head engineering variables that are inconsistent with merely striving to obtain a high MOIy using conventional golf club head design wisdom. The resulting fairway wood has a face closing moment of inertia (MOIfc) that provides golfers with a feel similar to that of a modern driver or hybrid golf club.
