Apparatus and Methods for Measuring Positions of Points on Submerged Surfaces
Apparatus and methods for measuring a position of a point on a submerged surface. The apparatus includes: a platform; a liquid-tight pressure vessel fixedly coupled to the platform, wherein the liquid-tight pressure vessel is formed in part by an optically transparent enclosure; a pan-tilt mechanism coupled to the platform and disposed inside the liquid-tight pressure vessel; a camera mounted to the pan-tilt mechanism; a laser range meter affixed to the camera; and a refractive index sensor coupled to and disposed outside the liquid-tight pressure vessel. In accordance with one proposed implementation, the optically transparent enclosure is spherical, the pan-tilt mechanism has a pan axis and a tilt axis that intersect at a center of the optically transparent enclosure, and the laser range meter is located to emit a laser beam that is perpendicular to the optically transparent enclosure.

POLYMERIC GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH METALLIC FACE
A golf club head includes a club face and a body. The club face is formed from a metallic material and includes a first, hitting surface, a second, rear surface that is opposite the first surface, and a flange that is separated from the second surface by a transverse distance. The body is formed from a polymeric material and includes a crown, a sole, a hosel, and a face support. The club face and the body cooperate to define a closed volume, and the face support extends to opposing sides of the flange and is operative to couple the club face to the body.

Camera filter frame and camera filter unit
A camera filter unit (10) includes a front ring (4) for holding a polarization filter (2) and a rear ring (5) for rotatably holding the front ring (4). The front ring (4) includes a rear annular wall portion (18) extending in a radial direction (R), a rear annular plate portion (19) extending rearward from the inner peripheral end of the rear annular wall portion (18), and an annular projection portion (20) projecting for a short distance from the rear end of the rear annular plate portion (19) toward the outer peripheral side. The rear annular wall portion (18), the rear annular plate portion (19), and the annular projection portion (20) form an annular recess (21) on the outer peripheral surface of the front ring (4). The rear ring (5) includes an annular protrusion (45) protruding to the inner peripheral side. The annular protrusion (45) is inserted into the annular recess (21) of the front ring (4).
