Publication number: 20180001111Abstract: The present invention is directed to multiple aperture devices (MADs) for beam shaping in x-ray imaging. Two or more of these binary filters can be placed in an x-ray beam in series to permit a large number of x-ray fluence profiles.

The webbing is then securely sewn through all four layers on both sides of the splice, leaving an open loop at each end for attaching a carabiner. The new quickdraw can be made from woven webbing or from braided webbing. Braided webbing can be made of stretchy, energy absorbing nylon, giving the quickdraw energy absorbing properties. The braided webbing will also have mechanical properties that will allow it to stretch and absorb energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2017Publication date: January 4, 2018Applicant: Metolius Mountain Products, Inc.Inventor: Douglas Phillips

Publication number: 20180001146Abstract: This is the introduction of stabilized stationary kickboard training to the health and fitness industry. TKS Hydrakick system is a stationary aquatic kickboard. The use of this product is for leg kicking exercises in water. Aging and quadriceps decline are the origin of this products creation. TKS is anchored to the swimming pool wall or deck by two separate lines having equal tension when in use. The buoyancy of the kickboard is adjustable to accommodate persons of different body weight and for the preferred level of floatation. The handle grips positions will permit user to exercise in the prone or supine positions. Board and handle grips will provide high stability to do high intensity leg kicking action. This equipment is able to detach for removal from pool. TKS Hydrakick system will be used for exercise, physical therapy, relaxation or recreation. TKS hydrakicking is optimal lower extremity exercise and does not cause trauma to the legs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2016Publication date: January 4, 2018Inventor: Anthony Dominic Seven

Publication number: 20180001149Abstract: A compressible core with an RFID tag is described. The compressible core comprises an RFID integrated circuit, and an inlay material sandwiched between a top hemisphere and a bottom hemisphere. The RFID integrated circuit includes a memory that stores a unique identifier. The inlay material includes an RFID antenna electrically coupled to the RFID integrated circuit. The top hemisphere of the compressible core is separated from the bottom hemisphere of the compressible core. The inlay with the RFID antenna and the RFID integrated circuit placed between the top and bottom hemispheres. The top hemisphere, the inlay and the bottom hemisphere are joined together forming a compressible core. Additionally, the molded shell encapsulates the compressible core.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2017Publication date: January 4, 2018Inventors: Robert A. Luciano, JR., Warren R.

Publication number: 20180001150Abstract: Golf balls including at least one modified dimple group are disclosed. The modified dimple group comprises one or more modified dimples forming an axially symmetric pattern about a Correction Area Centroid located on an axis of symmetry at a latitude greater than 0°, where 0° represents the hemispherical pole and 90° represents the equator. The modified dimples can be altered, for example, by changing dimple coverage, dimple diameter, dimple depth, dimple edge angle, dimple volume, dimple cross-sectional shape, and/or dimple plan shape. Optionally, the dimples have a catenary cross-sectional shape and the modified dimples are altered by changing the shape factor and/or chord depth. Such modifications preferably produce a golf ball that flies more consistently regardless of orientation when struck than a corresponding golf ball without such modifications.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2017Publication date: January 4, 2018Applicant: Acushnet CompanyInventors: Michael R.
