Title: Method of manufacturing a gold club head with a variable thickness face
Inventor: SOLHEIM JOHN A
IPC: B21K17/00
Filed: 2006-07-18
Granted: 2009-01-20
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a golf club head with a variable thickness face having a central thickened region surrounded by a transition region tapering from the central thickened region to a thinner peripheral region. The method includes locating a ball end mall revolving about an axis generally normal to the inner surface of the face plate at an initial location on a circumferential intersection between the outer edge of the central thickened region and a transition region. The inner surface of the face plate is machined by moving the revolving ball end mill in a radial direction outwardly toward and through the transition region .and the peripheral region to machine the inner surface of the face plate creating a tool channel having a width as the ball end mill traverses the transition region and thereby vary the thickness of the face plate in the tool path. The ball end mill is then raised in a direction normal to the surface of the face plate and relocated to a subsequent location on the circumferential intersection adjacent to the previous tool channel. The steps of machining, raising and relocating the ball end mill are repeated until the end mill has traversed the entire circumference of the circumferential intersection. In preferred embodiments, the machining step may vary the thickness of the transition region along a variable path, which may be a straight line, a curved line, or any other suitable path.

Title: A covering for an endoprosthetic device and methods of using for aneurysm treatment
Inventor: RICHTER JACOB
IPC: A61F2/91
Filed: 2006-03-03
Granted: 2012-09-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to covered endoprosthetic devices. Covered endoprosthetic devices comprise an endoprosthesis and a sheath. The sheath comprises a central portion and outer portions, wherein the central portion preferentially restricts or causes a restriction of blood flow. Blood flow can be reduced by the central portion of the sheath by varying the permeability of the sheath or by having projections on the sheath that slow blood flow. Permeability may be provided by perforations or holes in the material of the sheath or by varying the polymer structure that makes up the sheath itself. The outer portions of the sheath do not substantially reduce blood flow. Methods of using sheath-covered endoprosthetic devices of the invention to treat aneurysms, especially aneurysms in proximity to small perforator vessels or arteries, are also encompassed.
