  • Publication number: 20240149121
    Abstract: An example putter presented herein is designed manufactured in a way that allows for a golfer to adjust weight balance of the golf club head by moving respective weights through a toe-side track and a heel-side track on a bottom side of the golf club head. The putter may also be configured with adjustable toe-hang, face material, and loft all in one club, in order to optimize the club for the day's game without having to purchase a new golf club each time one desires to try something new. The putter head can combine a removable, stackable face plate with a continuous range of shaft attachment points to allow a golfer to adjust each factor all in one club.

  • Publication number: 20240141994
    Abstract: An orientation agnostic ring seal includes an annular body defining an axial hole therethrough for fluid passage in an axial direction and having a radial plane that is perpendicular to the axial direction. Both axial sides of the ring seal include a deformable annular protrusion extending from the annular body in an axial direction to a first apex, which is configured to deform upon engagement with a first planar sealing surface, and a first seal ring engagement surface configured to engage a first annular rounded sealing ring. So configured, the ring seal can seal two different types of flow components regardless of its orientation.

  • Patent number: 11964755
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods are contemplated for electric powered vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Such are craft are engineered to carry safely carry at least 500 pounds (approx. 227 kg) using a few (e.g., 2-4) rotors, generally variable speed rigid (non-articulated) rotors. It is contemplated that one or more rotors generate a significant amount of lift (e.g., 70%) during rotorborne flight (e.g., vertical takeoff, hover, etc), and tilt to provide forward propulsion during wingborne flight. The rotors preferably employ individual blade control, and are battery powered. The vehicle preferably flies in an autopilot or pilotless mode and has a relatively small (e.g., less than 45? diameter) footprint.

  • Patent number: 11958491
    Abstract: A target vehicle, for example a two-wheeled vehicle, for mounting onto an ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) testing platform is provided. The target vehicle comprises one or more sensors and an actuation assembly comprising an actuator. The sensors are arranged to measure a parameter relating to the dynamics of the target vehicle and may for example comprise accelerometers. The actuation assembly adjusts the tilt of the target vehicle in dependence on the output of the sensor(s), for example by means of a control unit. The tilting of the vehicle during cornering may thus be simulated. The measuring of such a parameter and the adjusting of the tilt may be conducted remotely from the testing platform. The sensor(s), control unit and actuator assembly may be self-contained within the target vehicle. A method of modeling a VRU (Vulnerable Road User) for ADAS testing is also provided.
