Title: Golf club head with pre-stressed striking face
Inventor: BUCHANAN DOUGLAS BOYD
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 2004-03-01
Abstract: A golf club head is provided. A pre-determined amount of pre-stress is induced in the striking face of the golf club head. This is preferably achieved by deforming a support plate for the striking face. The support plate which can be curved is then attached to the striking face and the reaction force from the support plate induces the pre-stress in the striking face. A weighting element is included and is arranged to add to the initial pre-stress applied by the support member. The head is made symmetrical so that right or left golf clubs may be provided simply by attaching a hosel member to the appropriate side of the head. The fabricated form avoids the need for expensive forgings and the pre-stressed face contributes to a "spring-like" effect <WC 1>property for the face, independently of face thickness. The invention can be applied throughout the range of golf clubs, that is, from the driver through to the putter.

Title: Vehicle seat interconnect, method and vehicle seat data system
Inventor: FURIO MIGUEL
IPC: H01Q1/12
Filed: 2007-06-28
Abstract: The vehicle seat data interconnect comprises an elongate medium operable to propagate data signals along its length and a transceiver locatable with a vehicle seat and operable to wirelessly couple with said elongate medium to enable data signals to be transmitted between said transceiver and said elongate medium. This enables a seat pitch to be altered without the need to remove any cabling or to disconnect the interconnect each time. Instead, the seat may be moved to a new position and the transceiver may still wirelessly couple with the elongate medium. Hence, the elongate medium can be retained in place without needing to be removed when the seat is moved and the transceiver located on the vehicle seat will enable data signals to be transmitted with the elongate medium even when the transceiver is in its new location.

Title: Multithreading microprocessor with the optimized thread scheduler for increasing pepeline utilization efficiency
Inventor: JONES DARREN M
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2006-01-18
Abstract: A multithreading processor for concurrently executing multiple threads is provided. The processor includes an execution pipeline and a thread scheduler that dispatches instructions of the threads to the execution pipeline. The execution pipeline detects a stalling event caused by a dispatched instruction, and flushes the execution pipeline to enable instructions of other threads to continue executing. The execution pipeline communicates to the scheduler which thread caused the stalling event, and the scheduler stops dispatching instructions for the thread until the stalling condition terminates. In one embodiment, the execution pipeline only flushes the thread including the instruction that caused the event. In one embodiment, the execution pipeline stalls rather than flushing if the thread is the only runnable thread. In one embodiment, the processor includes skid buffers to which the flushed instructions are rolled back so the instruction fetch pipeline need not be flushed, only the execution pipeline.
