Patent number: 12544630Abstract: A configurable golfing apparatus including a rectangular handle portion with plural components. The rectangular handle portion is placed over an existing golf club shaft. An end camp damper is placed on a top end of the rectangular handle portion. The rectangular shape provides new and additional hand placement and new and additional configuration capabilities for both right handed and left handed golfers. The rectangular handle portion includes plural support and shock absorbing components in plural different configurations providing optimal force absorption and optimal shock absorption. The configurable golfing apparatus allows easy retrofits on existing golf club shafts compliant with United States Golf Association (USGA) rules.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2023Date of Patent: February 10, 2026Inventor: Timothy N. Wright

Publication number: 20240374970Abstract: A golf putting training apparatus. Plural horizontal and vertical components with plural visual aid components are included that are used to properly align and properly swing a golf club putter. A 6:4 ratio is used with the plural horizontal and vertical components to provide a ratio for backswing and following through distancing and to help create muscle memory for a golfer. A pre-determined thickness is included allowing the golf club putter to be swing over the apparatus preventing the golf club putter from impacting a ground surface. The plural horizontal and vertical components help keep a face of the golf club putter in a proper alignment and at a ninety-degree angle to the golf ball when it is struck with the golf club putter.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventor: Timothy N. WRIGHT

Patent number: 11554300Abstract: A configurable golfing apparatus including a rectangular handle portion. The rectangular handle portion includes a golf club shaft that is securely mounted within the configurable golf club handle. The rectangular shape provides new and additional hand placement and new and additional configuration capabilities for both right handed and left handed golfers. The configurable golfing apparatus allows different golf club heads (e.g., drivers, irons, putters, etc.) to be inserted and removed from the configurable golfing apparatus. The golf club shaft inside the rectangular handle portions complies with straightness, bending and flexibility, and twisting and torque, properties and attachment to a golf club head requirements for a golf club shaft required by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and Royal and Ancient (R&A) Golf Club of St Andrews rules and functions in a manner similar to a golf club shaft not enclosed in a rectangular handle portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Inventor: Timothy N. Wright

Patent number: 9447492Abstract: A method of applying a transparent conductive film to a polymeric substrate having a desired textured therein is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a polymeric material having a texture disposed therein and conformally applying a transparent conductive material to the molded polymeric material to produce a conformal transparent conductive film thereon. The conformal transparent conductive film has a texture corresponding to the texture of the polymeric material and has a period that is not larger than the wavelength of visible light, whereby the conformal transparent conductive film is antireflective.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2011Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Inventors: Graham J. Hubbard, Keith P. Parsons, Timothy N. Wright

Patent number: 8948509Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method are provided for blending a group of layers with multiple blend modes such that additional style layers are applied to the layer group's combined shape, and clipped as if the style layers were applied to a single layer with the combined transparency of the group's layers. In example embodiments, for each of a plurality of layers: a group background is blended behind a group buffer, one of the plurality of layers is blended on top of the group buffer while ignoring a transparency of the group buffer, and the background is factored out from the group buffer. When the blending is complete, a style or effect is applied to the blended layers, and the background is blended behind the group result such that the group result transparency such that the style is clipped to the group result.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorportedInventor: Timothy N.

Patent number: 6964017Abstract: A system and method of creating interactive visual content in which base visual content, a selection of a trigger event associated with the base visual content, and intermediate visual content are received as an input. Viewing visual content derived from the base visual content is automatically generated. The viewing visual content can be displayed by a viewing application executing on a computer. A set of regions of the interactive visual content in which swap visual content is to be displayed by the viewing application when the trigger event occurs is automatically generated. For example, regions of the viewing visual content that are to be replace by the swap visual content when the trigger event occurs can be identified. Also, the swap visual content is automatically generated from the intermediate visual content.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2000Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Douglas E. Meisner, Alan L. Erickson, Troy A. Gaul, Timothy N. Wright, Christopher P. Hondl, Doug J. Ahmann
