20100298069 | Method And Apparatus For Applying A Topcoat To A Golf Ball Surface - A topcoat is applied to a surface of a golf ball using a carrier fluid comprising nitrogen gas or nitrogen-enriched air. The carrier fluid typically has air enriched to about 90-99.5% nitrogen. A mixture of carrier fluid and coating material may be sprayed onto the exterior of the golf ball. Nitrogen-enriched air delivery provides a number of benefits over compressed air delivery, such as reduced coating thickness, reduced variance in the coating thickness and average thickness, reduced pooling in dimple center, edge ratio closer to 1.0, faster cure times, reduced viscosity, less material usage, reduced material flow rate, reduced atomization air pressure, and decreased drying time. | 11-25-2010 |
20110064883 | Method Of Post-Mold Crosslinking Thermoplastic Polyurethane Golf Ball Cover Compositions - A golf ball includes a cover material containing a thermoplastic polyurethane composition which may be crosslinked post-mold by applying a radiation source such as ultraviolet light. The thermoplastic polyurethane composition may be crosslinked under controlled conditions selected to yield golf balls exhibiting desired physical properties and performance characteristics, such as hardness, spin, feel, and distance. In some examples, the golf ball contains one or more additional components, such as a UV curable topcoat, that may be simultaneously treated by the radiation source, thus improving processing efficiency. | 03-17-2011 |

20140350404 | METHOD FOR VISUALIZING BLOOD AND BLOOD-LIKELIHOOD IN VASCUALAR IMAGES - Computer-implemented methods for use in improving the diagnostic quality of images, including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images, are disclosed. The methods include using a non-linear, probabilistic classifier algorithm to analyze a plurality of spatiotemporal features of RF backscatter and to produce a blood likelihood map or blood probability map that corresponds to the original IVUS image. The methods disclosed herein allow for visualizing both static and dynamic characteristic of a vessel either by producing a transparency modulated color overlay of the blood likelihood map without altering the underlying IVUS image or by processing the IVUS image based upon the blood likelihood map to better distinguish between static and dynamic components of the vessel. | 11-27-2014 |
