Patent number: 10551581Abstract: Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide an optical connector cage configured to receive an optical cable connector. The optical connector cage includes a body defined by a top portion, a bottom portion, two side portions, a first end, and a second end. The body defines a receiving space that can at least partially receive an optical cable connector therein and one or more openings. The optical connector cage defines one or more heat dissipation units disposed within the one or more openings, and each heat dissipation unit further includes a first set of heat dissipation elements having a first height, and a second set of heat dissipation elements having a second height. The second height is different than the first height such that the one or more heat dissipation elements allow heat to be transferred from the body to an external environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Nimer Khazen, Tom David, Yaniv Katzav

Patent number: 10054375Abstract: A cooling apparatus includes first and second wedges, a solid thermal interface material (TIM) and a flexible force-exerting element. The first wedge has a first flat surface and a first diagonal surface. The first flat surface is configured to dissipate heat from an electronic device. The second wedge has a second flat surface and a second diagonal surface. The second diagonal surface faces the first diagonal surface, and the second flat surface is coupled to a heat sink and configured to dissipate heat thereto. The TIM is disposed between the first and second diagonal surfaces, and is configured to transfer heat between the first and second wedges. The force-exerting element is configured to move the first wedge or the second wedge, so as to slide the first diagonal surface or the second diagonal surface on the TIM and push the second flat surface against the heat sink.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Mellanox Technologies, Ltd.Inventor: Tom David

Patent number: 8734266Abstract: A golf putter head includes a contact face, a top surface extending rearwardly away from the contact face, a toe edge, a heel edge, and a sole spaced from the top surface. A center of gravity of the putter head is disposed closer to the toe edge than to the heel edge. A visual sight line is provided on the top surface and extends rearwardly away from the contact face, wherein the visual sight line and the center of gravity lie in a sight line plane disposed perpendicular to the top surface and to the contact face. The toe edge extends rearwardly away from the contact face and parallel to the visual sight line. A golf putter is also provided including a shaft and the golf putter head connected to an end of the shaft. A method of using a golf putter includes utilizing the golf putter to strike a golf ball.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Tom David, Inc.Inventor: Tom David

Publication number: 20040254026Abstract: A strike indicator for a golf club with a face with a sweet spot that is a most desirable area on the face for impacting a golf ball is provided. The includes an energy absorbing material and an adhesive backing attached to the energy absorbing material. The energy absorbing material and the backing have at least one edge for demarking the area of the sweet spot when the indicator is attached to the face of the golf club so that there will be a noticeable absorption of energy when a golf ball impacts the energy absorbing material.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2004Publication date: December 16, 2004Applicant: Tom David, Inc.Inventor: Tom David

Patent number: 4509698Abstract: A hand-held and hand-operated condiment grinder-dispenser includes a housing, a grinding mechanism having a rotary grinding wheel and a driving mechanism having an operating lever coupled to the grinding wheel and arranged for a reciprocating motion composed of a manually-induced forward motion and a spring-induced return motion. An overrunning (freewheeling) clutch couples the driving mechanism to the grinding wheel for transmitting a torque from the driving mechanism to the grinding wheel solely during the forward motions (work strokes) of the operating lever. The operating lever is positioned with respect to a housing part such that the operating lever and the housing part are included in a grip of the user's hand, as the condiment grinder-dispenser is held and operated.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1984Date of Patent: April 9, 1985Assignee: Tom David, Inc.Inventor: Tom David
