Filed:

Mar 22, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/815143

Inventors:

John Kendall - Boulder CO, US
Chris Phillips - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Clear Technology, Inc. - Westminster CO

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705 7, 705 8, 705 9, 705 10

Abstract:

An automated knowledge dependent transaction management system for processing both the front-end and back-end of a transaction is provided. The system contains hard-coded transaction management module to support the processing of deterministic manual work independent of the specific transactions. According to the invention, the hard-coded module is separated from the business logic that comprise the definition and configuration of the transaction specific data models, business rules and process steps which drive the manual work of human operators. Such separation of code and business logic allows any ordinary business administrator without any computer programming experience to quickly develop the business logic through a simple GUI. Further, any change in the business logic can be implemented quickly using the GUI by the ordinary administrator to accommodate changes in the business environment without relying on computer programmers.

Inventors:

Tim Reed - McKinnney TX, US
John Kendall - Wylie TX, US

Assignee:

Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. - Carlsbad CA

International Classification:

A63B 53/04

US Classification:

473345

Abstract:

A fairway wood golf club characterized by a long blade length with a long heel blade length section, while maintaining a small club moment arm, as well as a high ratio of the heel blade length section to the club head front-to-back dimension, a low ratio of the club moment arm to the heel blade length section, or a low center of gravity height, and all the benefits afforded therefrom.

Inventors:

Justin Honea - Rowlett TX, US

John Kendall - Wylie TX, US

Assignee:

Adams Golf IP, LP - Plano TX

International Classification:

A63B 53/04

US Classification:

473345

Abstract:

The present invention is a unique fairway wood type golf club. The club is a fairway wood type golf club characterized by a long blade length with a long heel blade length section, while having a small club moment arm and a low center of gravity relative to a face height of the club, and all the benefits afforded therefrom. The fairway wood incorporates the discovery of unique relationships among key club head engineering variables that are inconsistent with merely striving to obtain a high MOIy using conventional golf club head design wisdom. The resulting fairway wood has a face closing moment of inertia (MOIfc) that provides golfers with a feel similar to that of a modern driver or hybrid golf club.

John Kendall - Wylie TX, US

Assignee:

TAYLOR MADE GOLF COMPANY, INC. - CARLSBAD CA

International Classification:

A63B 53/04

US Classification:

473345

Abstract:

A hollow golf club incorporating a stress reducing feature having a shield serving to lessen the visual impact of the stress reducing feature, reduce the likelihood of debris from entering the stress reducing feature, and reduce the likelihood of damage to the stress reducing feature, while adding rigidity to a portion of the stress reducing feature and still allowing the stress reducing feature to selectively increase the deflection of the face.

Assignee:

Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. - Carlbad CA

International Classification:

A63B 53/04

US Classification:

473345

Abstract:

A fairway wood golf club characterized by a long blade length, a small club moment arm, and a large transfer distance thereby producing a relatively small CG angle and a relatively high face closing moment of inertia, and all the benefits afforded therefrom.
