| 20090264215 | Golf club shaft angle adjustment technology - Golf club shaft angle adjustment technology that allows the angle of the shaft of a golf club (ie. the lie) to adjust in small increments, and prevents movement as is the case with gears or teeth. The front of the club head consists of a round opening that accepts a corresponding round member on the end of the shaft. The face of the club inside the round opening on the club head consists of a series of half-spherical divots. The face of the shaft member that opposes the face of the club inside the round opening on the club head also has half-spherical divots. Opposing divots are positioned such that two opposing divots are perfectly in-line when the shaft is at an allowable angle. A ball bearing inserts into the perfectly in-line divots prior to sliding the shaft member into the club head opening to prevent movement when tightened. Inside the club head round opening is a smaller round opening that extends through the back of the club head. The round member on the end of the shaft has an attached threaded post that inserts into the smaller round opening of the club head and allows for the tightening of the round shaft member to the club head from the back of the club head. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100035697 | Golf club moveable disc shaft angle adjustment technology - Golf club moveable disc shaft angle adjustment technology that allows the angle of the shaft of a golf club (ie. the lie) to adjust in small increments, prevents movement as is the case with gears or teeth, and eliminates the use of small, difficult-to-handle parts such as a ball bearing. The front of the club head consists of a round opening that accepts a corresponding thin round member. The face of the club head inside the round opening on the club head consists of a series of divots. The face of the thin round member that opposes the face of the club head inside the round opening on the club head has protrusions. The protrusions and divots allow the thin round member to be seated firmly in one of a number of allowable positions. The face of the thin round member that faces away from the club head consists of a series of divots, each of which corresponds to a unique shaft angle when the thin round member is in a particular allowable position. The round opening in the front of the club head also accepts a corresponding round member on the end of the shaft (also called “round shaft member”). This round member on the end of the shaft slides into the round opening in the front of the club head after the thin round member is seated firmly in one of the allowable positions. The face of the round shaft member that opposes the face of the thin round member has a protrusion. The protrusion will insert into one of the divots on the face of the thin round member, resulting in an allowable shaft angle. Inside the round opening in the front of the club head is a smaller round opening that extends through the back of the club head. The round member on the end of the shaft has an attached threaded post that inserts through the thin round member and into the smaller round opening of the club head, and allows for the tightening of both the round shaft member and the thin round member to the club head from the back of the club head with a nut. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20080300727 | METHOD OF CALCULATING PUMP FLOW RATES AND AN AUTOMATED PUMP CONTROL SYSTEM - A method of determining a flow rate of a pump involves determining a volume capacity for a flow line carrying produced fluids from the pump, determining a starting pressure for the flow line and setting an arbitrary target pressure for the purpose of testing. The test is initiated by preventing flow in the flow line while continuing to operate the pump and monitoring pressure in the flow line to determine a time interval required to reach the target pressure. The method then involves performing calculations to determine flow rate using the volume capacity, the starting pressure, the change in pressure over the time interval required to reach the target pressure. The flow rate is equivalent to ΔV divided by a change in time ΔT. The method is preferably used as part of a manual or automated pump control strategy to keep the pump operating within flow rate ranges that provide optimum pump efficiency. | 12-04-2008 |
