  • Patent number: 12595708
    Abstract: A system that can include a centralizer configured to be radially positioned between a tool and an internal bore of a tubular, wherein the centralizer is configured to engage the internal bore and the tool via a plurality of biasing devices circumferentially spaced away from each other about a center axis of the centralizer. A method can include installing a biasing device in a plurality of protrusions that extend radially outward, extending a portion of each biasing device past an outer radial surface of a respective protrusion to engage a tubular, and extending a portion of each biasing device past an inner radial surface of a central bore of the centralizer to engage a tool, where the first portion and the second portion are configured to substantially align a center axis of the tool with a center axis of the tubular when the tool is installed in the tubular.

  • Patent number: 9566627
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an actuator having an actuation axis, a base having a base plane, a first actuator mount for associating the actuator with the base in a first position, and a second actuator mount for associating the actuator with the base in a second position, and a clamp for associating the golf club head with the base. If the actuator is in the first position, the actuation axis is substantially perpendicular to the base plane, and, if the actuator is in the second position, the actuation axis is oblique relative to the base plane.
