Title: Golf club head having surface features that influence golf ball spin
Inventor: MARTIN R JERTSON
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 2016-09-12
Abstract: A golf club head face having a loft below 25 degrees in which increasing the coefficient of friction between the face and the ball decreases the spin on the ball after impact. A surface roughness increases the coefficient of friction. The golf club face has three areas, a first area in the crown/toe region, a central second area and a third area in the sole/heel region. The coefficient of friction of the central area is greater than the coefficient of friction in the crown/toe region, and the coefficient of friction in the heel/sole region is greater than that of the central area, such that the coefficient of friction increases going from the crown/toe to the sole/heel. There are transition areas between the first and second areas, and second and third area. The face may also have grooves to increase friction. There may be a plurality of roughness levels in each area. The varying coefficient of friction makes the spin imparted on the ball at different impact locations of the face more uniform.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: YUHUA CHEN
IPC: H04W36/16
Filed: 2021-07-22
Abstract: A user equipment (UE) served by one of the cells of a non-terrestrial network NTN part determines whether to delay/suspend a small data transmission, based one or more associated parameters, so as to avoid a radio link failure or a handover. When the transmission is delayed/suspended, the UE initiates/resumes the data transmission in a new serving cell (e.g. after cell reselection or RRC establishment in the new cell), or via a relay (e.g. a device-to-device relay). The parameters may relate to a time remaining in current cell, time until cell reselection, a QoS parameter, data volume, movement of a new cell or an indication that the UE is allowed to perform early cell reselection. A UE determines, based on a received parameter, that a radio link failure RLF is about to occur with respect to a data transmission in a current cell, and proceeds with the data transmission in a new cell after declaring RLF for the current cell or proceeds via a relay device.
